What production motorbikes can achieve a quarter (1/4) mile in under 9 seconds? We have a list of the fastest accelerating modern, classic and vintage production motorbikes that can do a quarter mile 1/4 in under 9 seconds.
The quarter mile 1/4 has long been a benchmark figure particularly in the USA. Lives have been lost in the pursuit of proving a motorbike and rider have what it takes to complete the quarter mile fastest on the black top. As the decades have past the benchmark for production motorbike acceleration has risen or should we say shrunk. The lower the quarter mile time and the faster the trap speed the bigger the respect. Select a motorbike to find even more specifications including 0-60mph, 0-100kph, bhp, torque, engine capacity and more.
Where recorded times and trap speed are not available, the quarter mile and trap speed times are calculated using our unique tried and tested algorithm, fine tuned using 100s of real life quarter mile times. Estimated quarter mile times and/or are trap speeds are shown with an asterisk *
Note: The quarter mile times and trap speed are estimated using our own special formula which utilises several factors including 100s of officially published motorbike statistics to validate its accuracy. The figures are an estimation and there are many other factors at play which affect a quarter mile time. Including tyre choice, air and track temperature, gear ratios, reaction time to name a few.
The calculations assume that a rider weighing 150 lbs is in the hot seat.
