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 ...
A Suzuki GSX-R1000 at a drag strip – a 2006 model once recorded a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.35 seconds. This is a list of street legal production motorcycles ranked by acceleration from a standing start, limited to 0 to 60 mph times of under 3.5 seconds, and 1 ⁄ 4-mile times of under 12 seconds.
The first bike manufactured by Yamaha was actually a copy of the German DKW RT 125; it had an air-cooled, two-stroke, single cylinder 125 cc engine [1] YC-1 (1956) was the second bike manufactured by Yamaha; it was a 175 cc single cylinder two-stroke. [1] YD-1 (1957) Yamaha began production of its first 250 cc, two-stroke twin, the YD1. [1]
It is powered by a 125 cc (unrelated to the engine used in Indonesian-only Aerox 125 LC) or bored-up 155 cc Blue Core engine equipped with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) that produces a claimed power output of 8.8 kW (11.8 hp; 12.0 PS) or 11–11.3 kW (14.8–15.2 hp; 15.0–15.4 PS). These engines are shared with the NMAX.
Yamaha bolted the engine to the frame, but much farther forward, arriving at the weight distribution of a typical motorcycle. Although it was a step-through design, TMAX was built around a motorcycle-type tubular steel frame instead of a U-section pressed steel monocoque frame, as was the case on most scooters.
The first generally recognized motorcycle speed records were set unofficially by Glenn Curtiss, using aircraft engines of his own manufacture, first in 1903, when he achieved 64 mph (103 km/h) at Yonkers, New York using a V-twin, and then on January 24, 1907, on Ormond Beach, Florida, when he achieved 136.27 mph (219.31 km/h) using a V8 housed in a spindly tube chassis with direct shaft drive ...
The fuel injection system is similar to the ones installed on most Yamaha bikes, and uses a 24mm injector. The exhaust manifold comes equipped with an O2 sensor. The rated power output is close to 8 bhp (6.0 kW). [citation needed] After the break in period, the Zuma 125 can achieve a maximum speed of around 61 mph (98 km/h). [citation needed]
