Every motorcycle enthusiast’s dream is to own a superbike, and one of the main reasons for this is the tremendous peak speeds and acceleration.
Motorcyclists often outperform cars in terms of speed due to their superior weight-to-power ratio. When riding a motorcycle, even 60 mph feels like 120 mph. Because of their small size, they are lightweight and have low drag and wind resistance. Motorcycles, on the other hand, are among the fastest vehicles on the planet right now, thanks to recent technical improvements.
