<P> In 2014, Kawasaki announced that the upcoming Ninja H2R will have a non-street legal "track - only" version making 296 hp (221 kW) that will not have a speed limiter, reaching 210 mph (340 km / h) in testing, but Kawasaki did not specify whether the street - legal version, which has about 200 hp (150 kW), will be speed limited to conform to the gentlemen's agreement . </P> <P> Several models went out of production before being surpassed by a contemporary with a higher top speed . Until a model was introduced that was faster than any previous motorcycle, the fastest bike on the market for a given year was actually slower than an earlier, out of production bike . Models which are actual top speed record holders have their make, model, and speed in bold font, while slower models which were only the fastest in their own time are in italic . For example, in 1956, the Vincent Black Shadow remained the fastest motorcycle to date, with a 125 mph (201 km / h) top speed, but it was no longer in production . The fastest model on the market in 1956 was the BSA Gold Star Clubman, which at 110 mph (180 km / h) was not a record holder, but is listed for the sake of illustrating a more complete timeline . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Make & model </Th> <Th> Model years </Th> <Th> Engine </Th> <Th> Displacement </Th> <Th> Power </Th> <Th> Top speed </Th> <Th> Image </Th> <Th> Notes </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Hildebrand & Wolfmüller </Td> <Td> 1894--1897 </Td> <Td> Parallel twin </Td> <Td> 1,500 cc (92 cu in) </Td> <Td> 2.5 hp (1.9 kW) </Td> <Td> 25--28 mph (40--45 km / h) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> First production motorcycle . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Werner Motocyclette </Td> <Td> 1898--1900 </Td> <Td> Single </Td> <Td> 216 cc (13.2 cu in) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 15.5--22 mph (25--35 km / h) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Werner New Werner </Td> <Td> 1901--1908 </Td> <Td> Single </Td> <Td> 230--333 cc (14.0--20.3 cu in) </Td> <Td> 2--3.25 bhp (1.49--2.42 kW) </Td> <Td> 30 mph (48 km / h) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> FN Four </Td> <Td> 1911--1931 </Td> <Td> Inline four </Td> <Td> 491 cc (30.0 cu in) </Td> <Td> 4 bhp (3.0 kW) </Td> <Td> 40 mph (64 km / h) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Scott two speed </Td> <Td> 1912--</Td> <Td> Parallel twin </Td> <Td> 532 cc (32.5 cu in) </Td> <Td> 3 bhp (2.2 kW) </Td> <Td> 50 mph (80 km / h) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Williamson Flat Twin </Td> <Td> 1913--1920 </Td> <Td> Flat twin </Td> <Td> 964 cc (58.8 cu in) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 55 mph (89 km / h) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Pope Model L </Td> <Td> 1914--1920 </Td> <Td> V -
