Understanding the relationship between drag time and top speed is essential for winning races in TR Legacy. While top speed determines your maximum velocity on long straights, drag time dictates how quickly you reach that speed. A bike with a lower drag time will often beat a bike with a higher top speed in short or medium-distance races due to superior acceleration.
Do not judge a bike solely by its top speed. A bike with 371 speed but poor handling may be harder to control than a bike with 310 speed and excellent stability. Practice with each model to find the one that suits your driving style.
Top Speed Rankings
The following table ranks the bikes based on their maximum velocity capabilities. This data is crucial for highway races and long straightaways where raw power is the deciding factor.

The YZF R6 (2015) is the acceleration king. With a drag time of 11.66, it outperforms almost all other bikes in the initial launch, making it the best choice for tracks with frequent braking and accelerating.
Bike Selection Strategy
Choosing the right bike involves balancing your budget with your racing needs. Below is a breakdown of the best bikes for different scenarios.
Best for Speed
- YZF450F Super Moto (2011)
- Top Speed: 371
- Best for: Highway runs
- Cons: Harder to control
Best for Acceleration
- YZF R6 (2015)
- Drag Time: 11.66
- Best for: Circuit tracks
- Pros: Fast launch
Best Budget Option
- NSR 125 (1992)
- Top Speed: 266
- Best for: New players
- Pros: Low cost
Assess Your Budget
Start with cheaper bikes like the NSR 125 or CBR 250R if you are low on funds. These offer decent performance for a low price.
Analyze Track Type
If you race on maps with many turns, prioritize low drag times like the YZFR6. For highways, prioritize the YZF450F.
Test Drive
Always test a bike before fully upgrading. A high top speed means nothing if you cannot control the bike in corners.
Upgrade Progression
Move from the NSR 125 -> CBR 250R -> YZFR3 -> ZX6R -> YZF450F as you earn more money.
