Before you ask, yes, they cost more than your flat. But for those who live for redline thrills, it’s money well spent. We’ve lined up the most powerful motorcycles you can buy in India right now, complete with insane spec sheets and equally jaw-dropping price tags. Ride them responsibly or don’t ride them at all.
Suzuki Hayabusa
Power: 187.4 bhp
Price: ₹16.90 lakh
The legend that made hypersport a household word. The latest Hayabusa trades its speed record days for better tech and more refinement. The 1,340cc inline-four offers torque-heavy acceleration, while a six-axis IMU and cornering ABS keep it civilised. Still, nothing matches the aura of a ’Busa blowing past you.
KTM 1390 Super Duke R
Power: 190 bhp
Price: ₹22.95 lakh
KTM calls it The Beast for a reason. The 1,350cc V-twin delivers brutal torque and sits inside a lightweight trellis frame. WP Apex suspension and a solid electronics suite tame its wild side just enough to keep you in one piece. It’s raw, raucous and impossible to ignore.
Kawasaki Z H2
Power: 197 bhp
Price: ₹24.18 lakh
Think of it as the naked, slightly more practical sibling of the H2. The Z H2 keeps the 998cc supercharged heart but ditches the fairings. It comes with launch control, a bi-directional quickshifter, and an upright stance. All the madness, slightly less commitment.
Ducati Streetfighter V4
Power: 205 bhp
Price: ₹24.62 lakh
What happens when you strip a Panigale V4, add a wide handlebar and call it a day? You get the Streetfighter V4. With its 1,103cc Desmosedici V4, aerodynamic winglets and upright ergonomics, it’s part hooligan, part rocket. Brembo Stylema brakes and Öhlins hardware ensure you survive the experience.
Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX
Power: 207 hp with Ram Air
Price: ₹32.91 lakh
A supercharged sport-tourer that proves comfort and insanity can coexist. The Ninja H2 SX features Kawasaki’s ARAS suite with adaptive cruise control and blind-spot detection. The 998cc balanced supercharged engine makes highway touring feel like warp travel. If tech-loaded lunacy had a face, this would be it.
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R
Power: 210 hp with Ram Air
Price: ₹18.50 lakh
A WSBK legend for a reason. The ZX-10R runs a 998cc inline-four with aggressive power delivery and Showa Balance Free forks. Winglets are integrated into the fairing for better stability, while the six-axis IMU keeps things in check. Comfort takes a backseat, but it’s devastating on track.
BMW S 1000 RR
Power: 210 bhp
Price: Starts at ₹20.75 lakh
The S 1000 RR remains one of the most balanced superbikes around. BMW’s flagship packs ShiftCam variable valve timing, a razor-sharp aluminium frame, and a six-axis IMU. With electronically adjustable suspension and a bi-directional quickshifter, it’s happy both on the racetrack and on a Sunday blast.
BMW M 1000 RR
Power: 212 bhp
Price: Starts at ₹49 lakh
A track-focused evolution of BMW’s S 1000 RR, the M 1000 RR is dripping in carbon fibre and M-spec components. Its 999cc inline-four screams at high rpm, aided by lightweight wheels, winglets for downforce, and a titanium Akrapovič exhaust. At just 192 kg, it’s as lethal as it looks.
Ducati Panigale V4
Power: 216 bhp
Price: ₹29.99 lakh
A slightly tamer sibling to the V4 R but still ludicrous by any sane metric. The Panigale V4 gets the 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale V4, sublime chassis dynamics, and aerodynamic aids that keep you glued at high speeds. It’s Ducati’s sweet spot between everyday usability and track dominance.
Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory
Power: 220 bhp
Price: ₹31.26 lakh
Aprilia’s litre-class missile comes with a high-revving V4, integrated aero, and a lightweight aluminium chassis. The RSV4 1100 Factory offers semi-active Öhlins suspension, a bi-directional quickshifter and every electronic rider aid you can imagine. It’s a track weapon first, a road bike second, and utterly addictive either way.
Ducati Panigale V4 R
Power: 240.5 bhp
Price: ₹69.99 lakh
Ducati’s most hardcore superbike is a homologation special designed for the racetrack. The 998cc Desmosedici Stradale R V4 revs to an eye-watering 16,500 rpm in top gear. It packs a dry clutch, STM EVO-SBK system and an aluminium monocoque frame for maximum agility. Aerodynamic winglets and an aggressive riding position make it as close as you can get to a MotoGP bike with a number plate.
