"America is all about speed, hot nasty bad-ass speed" - Eleanor Roosevelt. Although this quote doesn't appear to be from the tagged contributor, we appreciate Ricky Bobby’s dedication to the art of big engines and the fastest lap times. With the invention of larger bikes for more giant races, eventually, bikes started to compete in the quarter mile races popularized by the hot rods of the American 50s. While these bikes come in various sizes and looks, the riders who climb aboard differ only slightly, sharing the same obsession with the G-force of a flat-out race for the finish. I'm sure you've met or heard of a friend or an acquaintance in your riding journey who owns or ogles at the occasional Hayabusa and discuss the difficulties of launch control. Whether this is the case or not, let's see if we can find them the best bike for this sport.

Yamaha MT-10

While the MT10 isn't primarily designed for drag racing, we consider this a light entry into the sport and a reference to the origin of street racing, the quarter-mile distance between stop lights in the city streets. The MT10 is perfectly designed to clear the green light off the line competing with various large-engine sports cars and superbikes. This is also a budget-friendly option, beating almost all competitors in this list with its entry-level price tag. The MT-10 was a welcomed upgrade from the previous generation FZ09 and FZ01. With the rebranding of these bikes into the MT class, along came custom liveries, upgraded tech, and premium components, including the suspension and engine system. With the cross-plane four-cylinder below the rider, this bike exudes confidence in the short-distance sprints of street racing.

Harley-Davidson Dragster

Many would dispute the Harley-Davidson bike’s place in this list, but this all goes to show that anything is possible when there is a will and a way. One of the more famous versions of this was created by the team over at TTS performance, based upon the Harley Road King. Due to its low center of gravity, this bike was a perfect donor vehicle to the horror. This 200-horsepower monster, supercharged with an intercooler, belts, brackets, a more considerable throttle body, and a unique ECU mapping performed, skated by competitors when introduced to the drag circuit. Reaching 128 miles per hour on the quarter mile and completing the course in 10.6 seconds, this bike seems adept to competition and is ready for the next steps. The transition (from a base Road king at $23,429) only added a mere $6,200 for the entirety of the supercharger kit. We are anxious to see what else the TTS team can do!

Jeremy Teasley Suzuki Pro Street Turbo GSXR100

The Teasley brothers are no strangers to motorsport, specifically in the drag racing industry. Over the years, Brandon and Jeremy have come up with a few mad concoctions in the realms of an outfitted ZX14 configuration from Brandon and Jeremy's Suzuki GSXR1000. The GSXR is fully turbocharged, stretched on the rear wheel, and fitted with an extended rear fairing for aerodynamics in the quarter-mile races. Although this bike is smaller than his brother's ZX14, its force induction setup competes with the ZX14 with power and torque. This carbon-fired engineering beauty is reminiscent of a Hayabusa build without the Hayabusa badging. Unfortunately, this bike is only for Jeremy, but an onlooker can complete replica projects with some instruction from his design team.

Hans Henrik Thomson All Electric

Before introducing electric bikes into the mass market, hobbyists dominated the racing world and private ownership segment with high torque and low-range speed bikes. We believe this inspired Hans’s design in the All-Electric competitor's quarter mile races of drag racing. The all-electric engine provides more torque off the line than its combustion competitors, but struggles in the traction control department, thus Hans’s extended wheelbase and added weight to the rear wheel. Speaking of the rear wheel, peep the difference between the two wheels on this bike! The front originated from a standard street bike, and the rear wheel appears to be ripped off your run-of-the-mill F1 car. Each portion of the cycle, from the frame to the engine compartment to each part of the fairings and support system, is custom crafted and sheet metal shaped. This is an impressive build from a well-staffed design department.

Zero SRS

Speaking of electric bikes, the SRS is no stranger to firing off the line with the fastest acceleration times in all-electric bikes before Zero pushed the idea to the mainstream with the Livewire product. With a max speed of 124 miles per hour and a claimed 0-60 seconds in around four seconds, this bike is sure to impress on the track and the road. With the addition of a full fairing livery, this bike is ready for a half-decent track day, with minor modifications to the lights and mirrors to stay track compliant. No need to worry about shifting either; this bike is automatic! Great for an eco-friendly consumer seeking a premium product from a trusted brand.

Energica Ego +

The Energica Ego is a purely race-inspired upgrade from the Zero SRS. Designed for Moto GP’s newest race, the E series, the bike has competed in multiple standout races in the sport. Coming in various trim options like the Ego, Ego +, and Ego RS, the consumer can choose how race replica inspired the bike will be for them. This bike is a steal for the performance-inclined rider with a heart in Moto GP, coming in classic Italian flag liveries with a range of over 420 kms and a 0-100 kph in 2.8 seconds. We especially appreciate the amount of Carbon Fiber parts incorporated into the bike with a premium performance chain and lighter overall wet weight. The bike offers 169 horsepower to the rear wheel and an increased range in the Plus versions due to its rev limitations and rider modes.

Suzuki GSXR600RR

While the GSXR is infamous for its use by the local street squids of America, the 600RR is an excellent option for riders seeking to ride the track and own the streets. Once again more applicable in a daily setting, the 600RR captures the heart of drag racing with its ability to jump off the line at your next stoplight. With a quarter mile time of 11.2 seconds and a 0-60 mph time of three seconds flat, this is an excellent option for those seeking a lighter package with the maximum power output possible. With 599 CCs of pure power and a liquid-cooled four-cylinder purring under the racer, this bike inspires confidence in the smallest package possible. Seek out this bike if you want to ride your chosen track stead home after strapping the trophy to your back.

Kawasaki 1400

Commonly known as the Hayabusa Killer, the ZX-14R is the Japanese manufacturer's fireback in the power wars of the early 2000s. The ZA14 features a slightly larger 1441cc inline four-cylinder with premium electronic components and updated comfort options. The ZX-14R approaches the ¼ mile with 9.783 seconds and a 0-60 time at an estimated 2.85 seconds beating the 2023 Corvette Z06 by a full second on the stretch and losing to it in the 0-60 by a mere 0.02 seconds. Nothing but impressive remarks coming from this beautiful machine. In true Kawasaki fashion, this bike comes under the other entries' price at a solid 17000 dollar price tag, with many upgrades available. With traction control, power modes, ABS, and Dual Throttle Valves, this bike is an easy pick for those who can't afford the

1 pick high price tag.

Suzuki Hayabusa

You thought we forgot the Hayabusa?! No, sir. The 'Busa is begging to be ridden at your local track, an airport, or perhaps the nearest highway. This bike is engrained in biker culture as the end is all street races until the following bikes hit the scene. With a commonly supercharged and NOS-infused 1340cc engine and duel fuel injectors firing into the heart of this horror, the Hayabusa, named after an attacking falcon, roars its way to victory. The modern iteration of the Hayabusa also includes more premium upgrades to the seat, suspension, exhaust, rider modes, livery, and frame weight. Ironically this bike is intended for sports touring and comes in a very comfortable package. This machine is poised to kill with a luggage hook, frame sliders, and its notoriously poignant rear seat cowl. Seek out the ferocious Hayabusa for a mere $18,799 price tag before you add on a few thousand dollars in superchargers and NOS systems.

Kawasaki H2

The H2 is the fastest production bike on the market. Uncontested and ready to rock your world, the H2 is a modern engineering marvel and a beautiful example of the beauty of raw power. With a 0-60 mph time of 2.93 seconds and an eight-second quarter mile time, the H2R is a no-brainer for those seeking intensity and dominance in an all-inclusive package. Following the design themes of the new Z series, the bike's claim to fame is its 0-180 mile per hour time of 11.77 seconds and a 0-200 time of 16.83 seconds. Featured in the newest Top Gun Maverick movie, the H2 is a beautiful bike sure to turn heads. We greatly appreciate Kawasaki pushing the limits with this entry and salivating at the thought of what's coming next!
