The Dodge Tomahawk Motorcycle ConceptNow we're really reaching...but this thing may actually reach production, according to #2 exec Wolfgang Bernhard, who said we'd know by summer 2003. Yes, it's a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine sitting out in the elements with some wheels beneath it. The price would be at least $250,000, and there would be only a few hundred made. The Tomahawk can considering whether to build a few hundred at a price of at least $250,000 each.

The Dodge Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of nearly 400 mph. Each pair of wheels is separated by a few inches and each wheel has an independent suspension. Bernhard said four wheels were necessary to handle the power from the engine.

Kind of reminds me of Jessie James on Monstor Garage. Why'd you build it Jessie, "because it was soooo wrong!"

3.2 gal fuel capacity for a V10 wont get you too far.

I'll take two please.

Dean likes to type doesn't he?

I dont see how you can really LEAN in on it????

Wow !!!! But I doubt it will ever reach production. 4 wheels needed in the rear to handle 500 HP ? I know of bikes with over triple that HP that are running on 1. Still a bad machine. I'd love to take it for a spin......Do you have to wear a Luke Skywalker Uniform to ride it ?Wardey

With each wheel having independent suspension, the bike probably leans with all four tires still on the ground.
