How much power is too much power? That is the question. Manufacturers are pushing the boundaries of technology and that’s resulted in riders getting access to insane amount of power available at the twist of a throttle. Will the horsepower game ever end? I doubt. As we progress from internal combustion engines to electric motors, the quintessential human tendency to compete and always try to be faster and more powerful than the other will keep us pushing for more power.
Just to sum things up, here are some of the most powerful motorcycles in production today. Anyone can buy these if they have deep pockets and between them, they put out a combined power output of 1,178 horsepower.
