The top MotoGP™ speeds, as things stand in 2024, have been set at two circuits - Italy's Mugello and Qatar's Lusail. Brad Binder's (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) incredible 366.1 km/h which was clocked at the 2023 Italian GP stands as the record that was later equalled by Pol Espargaro (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) at the 2024 Italian GP, but who else has come close to the record?
