The MTT 420 RR is the most powerful motorcycle in production. And we say that because the technical specifications of the bike are not something of a regular bike, but look more like it belonged to a spacecraft or some such things. The bike gets a Rolls Royce Allison - 250-C20 Series Gas Turbine engine which makes a whopping 414 bhp at 52,000 rpm. NO! It's not a typo. The peak power kicks in at 52,000 rpm. The engine makes a massive 678 Nm of peak torque and it comes in at a very low engine speed of 2,000 rpm. Absolutely crazy! Imagine the kick of torque, this bike would churn out. The craziness doesn't end here! The transmission unit is a 2-speed automatic gearbox and the bike is built on an aluminium alloy frame.
