Have you come into possession of a massive sum of money suddenly? Is it burning a hole in your pocket? If you do, you might have some ideas about how to spend this money. Perhaps you want to buy a new television or a bunch of books. Maybe you want to invest in a property or spend on your education. Or maybe, you are a bike enthusiast and want to spend some of your new-found money on a fancy new vehicle like a motorbike.  

There are many great ones to invest in out there, but finding the fastest one can often prove to be a challenge. To make your search less difficult, we have narrowed down and listed five of the fastest bikes to buy if you won the lottery below.

1. Kawasaki Ninja H2/R

Apparent Peak power: 322bhp

Dry weight (estimate): 193kg

Power/weight: 1.585bhp/kg

Long live this king of a bike! Last time with this list, the supercharged and astonishing H2/R costing £49,000, came out on the list. Despite ongoing competition now, it maintains its position on top even today. Kawasaki set out to manufacture the world’s most potent production machine, and it achieved just that. With its track-only ‘R’ trim, the Kawasaki is said to have a whopping 306bhp, which rises up to 322bhp with the ram air effect. This, along with its tubular steel and lightweight chassis (the dry weight coming to about 193kg from the wet one of 216kg), is what keeps this bike in the number 1 position. If you want to quibble about legal issues, then the legal road H2 Carbon (priced at £28,500) produces 240bhp, with more weight: 215kg estimated dry weight.

2. Honda Fireblade

Apparent peak power: 215bhp

Dry weight (estimate): 180kg

Weight/Power: 1.194bhp/kg

2. Honda Fireblade

There are no official dry weight figures out there, so you can never be sure, but the estimated weight is mentioned above. Based on the estimated curb weight 201kg and the fuel tank of 16 liters, which weighs about 12 kg, the dry weight would come to 180kg at best. This, along with the 215bhp output, places this bike in the category of the S1000RR MSport, and rightly so, as it is the most extreme and powerful Fireblade, which is also track-oriented. This is specially tailored to win races and might help you in other avenues of life as well (such as going on an adventure in the mountains).

3. BMW S1000 MSport

Estimated peak power: 207bhp

Dry weight (estimate): 173.3kg

Weight/Power: 1.194bhp/kg

This bike shows you what a few years of difference can make. The previous version of S1000RR was definitely a great performer, well known for its 199bhp, and had the tenth position on the previous fastest list, but it would not even have a mention on this list of top five. The all-new replacement is more sophisticated, more powerful, more rideable, and heck, even more, nimble than the version before. It is quicker than the previous version as well. The numbers of this one are a weight of 173.3kg and 207 bhp (including carbon wheels and loud pipes). It all then adds up to a price of about £19,995.

4. Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factor

Apparent peak power: 217bhp

Estimated dry weight: 177kg

Weight/Power: 1.226bhp/kg

This original, revolutionary, compact, powerful, and electronic-laden bike of Aprilia has not been featured on a competitive superbikes level in the world for a while. After all, it did first come out in the year 2010. It was upgraded in the year 2019 into a 1100cc form, using an enlarged engine from 1100 Tuono. The result of this is extremely phenomenal, to say the least – particularly in the top ‘Factory’ form. The engine is not only grunty but very powerful; its tiny chassis handled sweetly, along with the sophisticated and classy electronics cycle, competes with the best of the best. These proportions show that it will not only suit large riders but if it does fit then, it also suits a few of the finer road Sportster.

5. Ducati Panigale V4 R

Apparent peak power: 221bhp

Weight/Power: 1.285bhp/kg

Claimed dry weight: 172kg

This WSB-homologation (road legal) special version of Ducati’s all-new astonishing V4 superbike came out just last year and immediately took over the newcomers, winning the top position in some races. To summarise, this bike seems to have it all: from monster power (up from the previous 214bhp) due to the MotoGP-inspired V4, an extremely lightweight chassis, some of the very best cycle parts, world-class ‘aero’ aids, along with exotic Italian styling and a great outlook, and a price of £34,995 to match the specifications.
