Motor biking is a hobby or an activity pursued by many. This activity provides a nice break from the daily life where you can go down winding roads; enjoy the cool breeze and the sights and sounds of the countryside. There are various motor biking events and competitions held all round the year and each year large numbers of bikers participate in these events. Motor biking involves travelling down unknown roads and visiting unexplored areas. Since events are organised, so there is an element of speed which can be dangerous for the bikers. Those who go biking should take necessary safety precautions for their own safety. It is extremely important to use standard equipment and gear and use protective clothing to protect yourself in the unlikely event of an accident. Bikers travel on mountainous roads which have sharp bends and this increases the element of risk. An accident on such landscape can result in serious injuries, so it is necessary to opt for adequate insurance. Bike insurance offers different types of coverage and your coverage will depend on the kind of policy you have opted for. There are various discounts offered to bikers who have lesser mileage, store in bike in a garage and also for female riders. You can check these provisions and avail the best policy possible within your budget. There are special routes for motor biking and various countries all over the world have some designated motor biking routes. One perfect route for those in Ireland is from Callan to Carrick. This route has a succession of bends and stretches of straight roads along with fast sweepers. Try this only if your bike has good suspension and sturdy tyres as the route along the river valley is likely to be a bit rough. If you want a smooth surface you can try the Tandragee to Markethill route which is about 8-10 miles long. This route in North Ireland is quite smooth and many races are held here during the year. If you are in Scotland you can try the Cockbridge to Granton-on-spey route, Moffat to Galashiels route or the Inverness to Ullapool route. You can enjoy spectacular views on these routes and have your fill of the countryside.

If you love speed and motorbikes, this article is just for you. Sports bike technologies are developing rapidly the past couple of years, allowing manufacturer to produce stronger and more stable chassis and mount superbly powerful engine to power the bike. Imagine having 1.200 cc engines to power your 2-wheeler sports bike; can you picture just how fast you can go with that much power?

Let us take a look at just how fast the combination of powerful engine and a good set of wheels can get us, shall we? To start our journey into the world of fast hyper sports bikes, the BMW K1200S will be the first we review. This amazing piece of engineering by BMW is capable of reaching the top speed of 268 Km/h, with 0-100 Km/h in merely 2.8 seconds. Sounds amazing? We haven’t even started yet.

The Ducati 1098s is reported to have enough power to achieve 290 Km/h top speed, but actual tests by sports bike enthusiasts haven’t reached that level yet. Still, the Ducati 1098s can definitely reach the top speed of 271 km/h — still amazingly fast I must say, but again we still have several bikes to go. The next bike is the Aprilia RSV 1000R Mille, capable of reaching 281 Km/h with its 143 HP 998 cc engine. The less engine cc may fool a lot of people into thinking that this bike packs less power, but the actual performance says otherwise. Next, the infamous Yamaha YZF-R1 capable of reaching 283 Km/h. Honda CBR 1100XX Super Blackbird will be putting this article to an end by leaving us behind at 286 Km/h.
