Ack Attack: The Fastest Motorcycle Ever Recorded
The Ack Attack holds the absolute motorcycle land-speed record at 605.697 km/h (376.363 mph), based on an FIM-certified two-way average. It is not a conventional production bike, but a purpose-built streamliner powered by two turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa engines. That is why it can travel far beyond the 400 km/h achieved by the Kawasaki Ninja H2R.
