Motorcycles

Recently my parents got me a motorcycle for my birthday and I've been having a lot of fun learning how to ride. That got me to thinking about what the fastest motorcycles in the world are and how fast they can accelerate. As it turns out, the fastest motorcycle in the world accelerates from 0-60 in 2.35 seconds. That is so dang fast. Apparently the fastest street legal motorcycle out right nown is the 2013 Ducati 1200 and it is recorded top speed at 210 mph. Blazing. We'll anyways I thought that was cool so here's a pic and a chart to add interest.
