Street
Motorcycles
Sport bikes usually have a more streamlined,
aerodynamic design compared to other motorcycle
types. The footpegs are located further back than
conventional motorcycles, which enables the rider to
position himself in a lower, more aerodynamic
stance.

Sport Bikes & Street Bikes:
Another typical characteristic is the
ability to travel at extreme speeds with explosive
acceleration. A typical sport bike can accelerate to
100 km/h (62 mph) about or under 3 seconds. Some
sports bikes can top out at approximately 260 km/h
(160 mph).
Superbikes, which are another type of sports bike,
can have top speeds well above 200 mph but recently
have been limited through the use of a rev limiter
to the speed of 186mph (around 300 km/h) in
accordance to a Gentlemen's agreement between the
main sport bike manufacturers.
Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati, Aprilia, and Buell are the main
manufacturers of sport bikes, although Buell are yet
to produce a sports bike. In 1999 Suzuki produced a
GSX-1300R Hayabusa capable of reaching 100 mph in
first gear, and 190 mph (310 km/h)off the production
line. The Kawasaki ZX-10R, for example, is a 1000 cc
sportbike capable of exceeding 100 mph in first
gear, as well as a top speed at or above 186 mph
without any modifications. These bikes can do a
quarter mile at or under 10 sec. The 2006 Kawasaki
Ninja ZX-14 (stock) can reach 100 km/h under 2.5
seconds and does a quarter mile in a little over 9
second.
