I saw this Tomahawk V-10, the other day over at Yahoo.
Dodge introduced its Tomahawk V-10, 8.3-liter (505 cubic inch) concept motorcycle at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 6, 2003. The superbike features independent four-wheel suspension, and its engine, borrowed from the Viper sports car, can propel the Tomahawk at speeds of nearly 400 mph, according to Dodge.
400 mph! Think of the bugs in your teeth Four wheel drive! Are they sure it is a bike?

 

Dang, a four wheel drive bike???? ??? ??? A number of years ago I saw a two wheel drive bike. : :

 

that thing is ridiculous, i doubt anyone is stupid enough to actually try and take it to even 100 mph though...I'm not a bike rider by any means but i couldn't even imagine sitting on it..

 

Geez ... and I thought the new Harleys were ugly ... that thing is just plain goofy lookin'.

400 mph ... everything looks the same after 120 ... bbbbbllllluuuuurrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyy

The ROKON

 

Here's a pic showing the bike's designer, Mark Walters aboard it. The engine employs a dry sump so it can sit down low in the frame. Although DC publishes top speed figures of 400 mph, Walter doesn't believe it, and doesn't want to know. Properly geared Walters thinks 250 is attainable. Right now it's set up for acceleration and doing burnouts at press events, with 0-60 coming in 2.5 seconds.

 

I've run 150 on the Autobahn for a solid hour and believe me it was fun, BUT doing even 150 is pushing a real hole inthe air. Bikes are lousy aero-wise and I'm positive 400 is not reality, MAYBE 300 at the salt flats, on a very good day.

 

I think at those speeds anything loose on the bike will fly off... IE driver...

Buckle Up.

0 - 60MPH in 2.5 seconds would rip my scrawny arms right out of their sockets !!!

That two wheel drive Rokon reminds me of the Tote-Goat that a buddy of mine had when we were kids. Briggs and Stratton motor and big tires ... you didn't get stuck very often.

I think the Tomahawk is a looser bike. They should've used a Cummins. Only bike capable of doing 0-60 in 3secs with a 5th wheel hitched ;D

Thats what I was thinking, if they can use the v10 why not an ISB Like the old 60's Yahama advertisement said, "Put something throbbing between your legs"
