How fast do motorcycles usually go in a motorcycle race?

Posted by admin  Published in motorcycles

How fast (in mph) do motorcycles usually go in a motorcycle race? I was at a racetrack watching the other day and was just curious. I’m not asking for the fastest someone’s ever gone, but just the average speed in an average race. Thanks.

It depends on the track…. At most Moto GP races riders are hitting around the 200mph area on the straight. Average speed is much less than that because of some of the tighter corners. Over on the Isle of Mann the average speed for the lap is getting close to 130mph with top speeds of 200mph again.
