Its 205 HP, 999cc inline 4 engine is packed with the level of technology you would expect from the German company, including variable cams and titanium valves. The 2022 BMW S 1000 RR is BMW’s top-of-the-range supersport. Overall getting a bike with over 200hp for less than $20K is tough, good luck finding another with this level of racing pedigree. Metallic Diablo Black, Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray has the ZX-10R looking absolutely menacing. The 2022 model carries on essentially unchanged, but they have unleashed a new stealth livery. With a claimed 203 HP, a wet weight of 456lb, and all the aero tech and rider aids you can possibly dream of, this machine won’t let you forget why Kawasaki won WSBK 6 times in a row.

Liter bike wars are as on as they ever were, and last year Kawasaki poured multiple tweaks over the ZX-10R. The reason that the engine needed to be detuned from its more powerful brethren is simply because of the amount of weight removed when making it a streetfighter.ĥ31 lbs with 200 HP and 101 lbs-ft of torque will end up going down the road pretty damned quickly, especially since the supercharger guarantees you’ll have all that power pretty much anywhere, at any altitude, in North America. At a detuned 200 HP, the inline 4 engine still carries the screw-type supercharger that whacks pressurized air into the cylinders. Now in its third year, the 2022 Kawasaki Z-H2 is the naked streetfighter version of the utterly mental H2/H2R lineup. To the list! Who gives us more than 200 ponies for 2022? 2022 Kawasaki Z-H2 /H2 SE Did I say 200? Tuned Hayabusas easily get to 300 if you have a fat wallet. Just keep in mind it has been built for tuners to get freaky with and 200 hp is hiding in there with just a little aftermarket fun. I was already fully making space on the list for it, but it specs out at 188hp. Just one “R” shy of 200, so it does not make my list.

Then we have the CBR with fewer R’s, the CBR1000RR. Honestly, I think they are looking for ways to add more R’s to the fairing, and though it is well rumored to be coming, there is nothing to share yet. Currently, Honda has no formal release of the CBR1000RR-R and/or SP. In an attempt to dodge the need for a flame suit from the comment section I will highlight a couple of notable bikes that are not on the list which some may think belong. Well, power corrupts and more power corrupts absolutely, and a 200 hp or more motorcycle is now attainable for most riders. 200 horsepower for production motorcycles is much like 200 mph was for automobiles, always possible but few chased after it.
