Fastest bike you have owned

This would have to be up there in terms of dirtbikes.

Street 05 R1 piped and tuned 180mph + , mx 52 + hp yz 250 that stomped all the 4t's .

my current bike is a rocket. 08 crf450x. ported R head. HC stage 2 cam. 05 450r carb. pulls to the moon. fastest bike i have RIDDEN was a 2011 yamaha r1. i ACCIDENTALLY went 125 lol i looked at the spedo once i hit the free way and about shit myself

Yamaha SC500 when I was 13 and weighed about 125 lbs. It made me Bubba long before anyone saw him ride. I could be cruising along in total control and then the timing would advance. BOOM. Yardsale!

My current street bike is the fastest thing I've had the pleasure to swing a leg over. ZX-10R. Dirt bikes-03 250SX KTM, 1974 1/2 360 Husky Mikkola replica.

Haven't rode a 500 yet, but will. My '09 YZ250 with stock gearing almost wasn't even fun to ride on an MX track. It was fast and would take off, I spent most of my time just trying not to piss it off. In typical MXA fashion, two teeth on the rear really helped

Of the street bikes I have ridden hands down a tz 700 at road atl! Scary fast!!! Dirt either a ktm 525 or a macio 501 that beast would not turn, or stop but for a 100 yards it would pull ur arms out of socket! My son had a 502 yz that was fast as well!

1984 V65 Magna, Dirt would be my 87 CR500. Next would have to be my nephews 99 CR250. Bike I'm fastest on would be my 99 YZ125.

Any of the three CR500s I had back in the '90s.
Stock and I could start in 3rd gear when the gate dropped.

I like my "mellow" YZ450F and starts are still my favorite part of the moto.

Another vote for a CR500 (for MX). These things are CRAZY fun in the right conditions, sand/hills. Otherwise, too freakin much!

My TC 610 husky...It would beat my pro-circuit 88 cr 500 in every way you raced them.The CR500 actually felt faster
but it didn't stand a chance against the big Husky.

1985 cr 500 hands down, other fast bikes I owned that I am comparing it to, 92 cr500, 87 cr 500,83 490, 96 490,80 cr 390 husky.... but my boys 2014 yz450f just might be faster than any of them

+1 on this... that sumbitch is fast in the open desert... all the gearing you need, extremely light. The one I rode was every bit as fast as my CR500.

BTW I had a 2005 CR500AF conversion. Balanced, ported, etc etc etc. etc. I rode it MX for 4 years straight.

I still think my 2009 Kawi 450 would walk it. Tru story Bro.

These things,not much will live with them up to 70 or so anyway

The fastest bike I ever owned was my 1987 CR500. I had a CR 250 before it and the 500 wore me out because I was trying to ride it like the 250. Once I got that figured out things got better for me but I was never in any way shape or form fast on it. It did make me a better rider technique wise that's for sure and when I got back on 125's and 250's I was a lot faster. I was still a spode but I was a faster spode

gotta give thanks to RJ for the launch secrets of the 500's.

Street: 2010 Kawasaki ZX14. Close second: 2001 Suzuki GSX-R 1000
Dirt: 2004 KTM 525 EXC. Close second 2007 Honda CRF450

Fastest? As is, more mph than others? My 2009 CR500AF. Fastest on the track for me? My current 2012 KTM250SX.

my 1984 YZ 490. Just plain fast enough to really pull me around the track and my only win came on that a year and a half ago. against two other yz 490s no less. now why I won we wont get into.

Dirt Husky 610
Road anything above 600cc I've owned is way faster than I want to go.

Owned..

1992 CR 250 Honda on dirt.
2003 VFR 800 Honda on street.

Ridden..

197? H3 750 (2-stroke triple) that had been stripped/lightened with pipes/carbs/port work. For acceleration it was terrifying grin inducing fast. For being stable at speed it was terrifying. Any of the new sport bikes are much faster on top end and 10 times more stable/better handling.

1983 KTM 500 and CR 500 were both the fastest (acceleration and top end) dirt bikes I've ridden.


It is not a popular American opinion, but I much prefer a lightweight solid motorcycle that accelerates really hard, vs something that just has a high top speed. How fast does it get to the next corner vs. How fast does it go?

And….would love to ride that triple 2-stoke dirt tracker in Bobby's post.

Hands down it was my 1994 KTM 440 MXC.. Motor was all top end so I ported it, lowering the ports, and putting on a thinner base gasket. Also put an FMF pipe and a Boyesen Rad Valve in it. Bike was uncontrollably fast.

I tried my buddy's 93 CR500 and thought it was a baby compared to my katoom. I actually loved the CR and was mad I bought that KTM. Thankfully it had those sweet Marrizocchi conventional forks, and an Ohlins. Those were sweet.

140 and still had plenty more to go before I came to my senses.

01 FZ1
1000 cc
Akropovic pipe, Ivan's jet kit, K & N, smog craps removed.

I bought Kyle Chisholm's 2011 Pala Raceway Race bike from the Motoconcept's shop in Temecula. I know people didn't like that year of Yamaha, but with the Enzo kit suspension and motor mods than bike ripped.
