These 80s Motorcycles Were Too Fast For Their Time (Banned)

Back in the '80s, motorcycle manufacturers weren’t just pushing the envelope—they were setting it on fire and launching it at 150 mph. This was the era of excess, speed, and experimentation, where rules were more like suggestions and engineers were more concerned with lap times than licensing laws. The result? A generation of bikes that were so fast, so powerful, and so downright unhinged, they either got banned outright or quietly disappeared behind new regulations and insurance nightmares. In fact, the bike at the top spot on this list was basically a MotoGP race bike that was allowed on the streets. It was simply insane. So get ready to get your mind blown away. Here are 10 '80s motorcycles that were so fast, they got banned—or pushed out of existence. -------------- Copyright Disclaimer We do not fully own the material compiled in this video.
