Viper-powered Tomahawk to be offered for sale
Remember the Tomahawk, which debuted a few years ago on the auto show circuit? Maybe a better question would be: How could you forget it?
There had been some speculation that it might actually see limited production, and apparently the-powers-that-be at DaimlerChrysler have given the green light. The 500 hp V-10 Frankencycle will be marketed as the Chrysler (not Dodge) Tomahawk, and will cost a cool $250,000, give or take a few pennies...
Don't forget to check out the video on this site. I found it interesting in that they didn't show it banked over going through some twisties.

Ow.
Target audience being the 3 people who thought 'Tron' was cool? Well, a niche is a niche, I guess.
Yeah, or banked over hitting a patch of sand or cinders going about 150mph........
You just *know* some bozo is gonna show up at Alice's on one of these.
Too much cycle for me. Maybe 30 years ago, when I was *indestructable*, but at 56, I'll pass.
Laying on top of a V-10 engine has got to get very hot.
might be fun to ride once or twice.. maybe have one in a showroom, but that's about it.
"The Kamikaze XS. 5,000 ccs. Hold on tight, 'cause this bike has everything . . . except brakes!"
"Kamikaze XS. Because we Japanese still haven't forgotten World War II, YANKEE DOG!"
What are the odds that Jay Leno will pony up?
True dat. The guy's richer'n Croesus.
Leno was my first thought when I saw the tag.
Doesnt he have a gas turbine bike?
I love bikes but that overpolished thing looks like a cross between Dr. Dolittle's Pushmi-Pullyu and R2D2.
I did hear Jay comment once, while buying an old Dusenberg for restoration, that he was the president of the "More Money than Brains" club...
It ain't a motorcycle anyway; it has four wheels. *sigh*
PS it's useless as teats on a boar!!
Probably make a passable coffee table. >:-}
Waste of a perfectly good viper engine. I know a '57 fiat 600 that would be pefect for it.
Now, if you want to see a real motorcycle, going 200 mph, you need to see Anthony Hopkins' movie, "The World's Fastest Indian", then, Bob's your uncle, you saw what a real motorcycle rider can do.
