Most modern bikes are really good. In fact some are almost perfect? but none of them are. So it got me thinking. Could the perfect motorcycle be built" If you could take the very best motor ever produced and put it in a bike with the best suspension, best brakes, best electronics and best chassis, what would it look like" Well, if it was up to me, the perfect motorcycle would look like this?

The engine

It needs to be something fast. In fact it needs to be something really fast so there?s only really one option. The perfect motorcycle needs to be powered by Kawasaki?s H2R motor. I know 320-odd bhp and 165Nm of torque is probably bordering on overkill. The throttle works both ways though, doesn?t it" With all that power, you?d struggle to find anything quicker in a straight line this side of a military airbase, so you?d have no bother beating your mates to the seaside for your bi-weekly bacon sandwich. And you?ll struggle to find anything that sounds as sexy as the supercharger spinning up. That sort of power isn?t for the feint hearted, though. We?ll need a seriously good electronics package to keep things in check.
The electronics

Power?s nothing without control, apparently. That?s why, for the perfect motorcycle, we?ll rob all of the electronics systems off the current BMW S 1000 RR. Yes, I know there’ll be a few algorithms that need adjusting to cope with the extra hundred or so ponies, but I?m sure that can be addressed....
