CFMoto just released a video—embedded below—showing its V4 SR-RR prototype hitting 315.82 kph (196.2 mph), and there's no denying that's a ridiculous top speed. I don't want to take anything away from that. The problem is, videos are circulating on social media claiming that it's the fastest production superbike, and, for many reasons, this isn't the case. But I'll start with the obvious reason.
Ducati claims that the Panigale V4 R will hit 197 mph (317 kph) in standard trim and 205 mph (329.9) with a racing exhaust. This alone means that the V4 SR-RR isn't the fastest production motorcycle, but it also isn't the fastest production motorcycle because it isn't actually in production. We don't know how fast this prototype will be once it goes on sale.
