Super Sports will always be up there when it comes to popularity! These speed demons give riders the white-knuckle thrill of the race track, whilst still being road-legal – what’s not to love?
If you’re looking to get from A to B with powerful acceleration and excellent handling, then there’s a good chance a Super Sport might be the toy for you. The critics will say that comfort is sacrificed for aerodynamic advantage and lean angles, but who really cares when the adrenaline is pumping?!
Super Sports don’t just bring performance to the table, their attractive bodywork makes them as good on the eye as they are to ride!
With nearly all the top manufacturers offering Super Sports in their range, it raises the question, what are our best-selling models?
Let’s take a look…
HONDA CBR1000RR FIREBLADE
Taking the popularity top step is the iconic Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade. Nicknamed the ‘Blade’, the CBR1000RR delivers polished, glitch-free grunt without even breaking a sweat. Its impressive acceleration paired with reliable build quality makes this Honda highly desirable.
YAMAHA YZF-R1
Next up we have Yamaha’s YZF-R1 (or just R1 for short) – this beast is one of the most infamous Super Sports out there! Combine immense speed with a howling soundtrack, and then add a glowing reliability record into the mix, it’s no shock that the R1 takes prime spot in so many rider’s garages.
SUZUKI GSX-R1000
When it comes to an all-round package, Suzuki knows how to do it right, and the GSX-R1000 is a prime example of this. This powerhouse is exceptionally capable, has a real ‘oomph’ factor and as Super Sports go, is remarkably comfortable for longer journeys.
BMW S1000RR
In 2009, BMW entered the world of Super Sports with the sultry machine that is the S1000RR. It’s a multiple TT winner, which is loved by racers and everyday thrill-seekers alike. It’s arguably the easiest of all the Super Sports to get the most out of, thanks to its modern-day electronic gadgetry.
DUCATI 1199 PANIGALE
When can’t talk about Super Sports without thinking of Ducati, and the 1199 Panigale is built with one thing in mind… SPEED. On track or on the road, this Panigale is a serious machine with mind-blowing power, class-leading rider aids, and a drool-worthy V-twin soundtrack, which is just the icing on the cake!!
