Probably the Y2k motorcycle, that uses a turbine. Doesn't that thing hit RPMs in like the 30,000 range??

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

As far as regular production bikes, the R6 from a couple of years ago allegedly revved to 17,500 rpm, but the tachs were "optimistic" by about 10%.

I think the redline on a lot of the race ready Kawi's is somewhere between 16.5k & 17.5k

That re5 that ron has if turned right and things modfied would be the highest reving motorcycle
It could almost be unlimited amounts of rpms

If street legal doesn't matter, the Honda (oval piston) NR500 supposedly turned about 24,500. Also, I remember the 6-cylinder 250's that Hailwood rode were in the very high teens, low 20's. Matter of fact, Honda did research to see if the rpm level could get so great that cylinder-fill and flame speed would become limiting factors.....and couldn't find the limits.
I don't think the Y2K counts as it's a turbine, not a reciprocating engine.

Haha, wow. The youtube video of the Y2K turbine bike is amazing! Can you imagine riding near one of those in a canyon. Just hearing it and not sure what's behind you!
