List of fastest production motorcycles by acceleration
This is a list of street legal production motorcycles ranked by acceleration from a standing start, limited to 0 to 60 mph times of under 3.5 seconds, and 1⁄4 mile times of under 12 seconds. Concept, custom, modified, and one-off motorcycles of any kind are not listed, nor are racing-only motorcycles. The widely varying testing methodologies mean that, even between identical motorcycles, the acceleration times vary. Some of these differences include: rider skill and launching technique, measuring equipment, track surface conditions, weather, air temperature, and altitude.
Notes specify if test was 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) or 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph). For comparison, an object in free fall, without any air resistance, near the Earth's surface accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 2.83 seconds and from 0–60 mph in 2.73 seconds.
Time from standing start to 1⁄4-mile (400 m). For comparison, an object in free fall (without any air resistance) near the Earth's surface has a quarter mile time of 9.06 seconds and a speed of 198.7 mph.
The first production motorcycle with a quarter mile time under 12 seconds in Cycle World's testing was the 1971 Norton Dunstall 810, based on the Norton Commando.
