Dodge V10 motorcycle called the Tomahawk. based on the viper engine Chances are it will come into production but will cost around $250,000 U.S :rolleyes:

Also they stated that four wheels were neccesary and are only a few inches apart.

wrong forum

I thought perhaps this could be a modeling subject for someone with more skills than me!

lol........I think someone would have to have access to computer CAD controlled laser grid milling machines to make one of these man!

i saw in a magazne it will do a top speed of 450mph, i dont see how you can ride it with all the tourqe a V10 makes :rolleyes:

I bet it turns like a cow!

I saw it today in person at the Atlanta International Auto Show! It looks cool but as you can see it has no aerodynamic body work so speed and stability are going to be lacking. I would have to see it run to believe it actually could, it didn't look road worthy at all, it's prolly just a concept and that's it.:)

they are producing 1000 units. It's in production - let me go take pictureo f my motorcycle mag to prove it

Don't plan on riding it for long when you consider the heat a V10 makes.

its got special heat sheilding, somethign about using ceramics.
they have everything planned out
4 wheels all have independant steering and 2 swingarms connect the wheels, they say it rides like a normal bike, there is a balancing mechanism inside the bike to make it stand up when not being ridden.
here is a pic from my magazine

Dude, the article says they are considering a production run, not that the bike is IN production. The caption in the picture reads " might see production". I think it's just a show bike to get Daimler Chrysler some attention, and it worked!:)

Very wrong forum, so as a moderator, why didn't you move it? ;)

This bike is absurd. It certainly attracts the yahoos with the numbers and the weird styling. It gets attention, but it's anything but a serious motorcycle.

450 mph? 1200 lbs? 500 horsepower? Please. My bike with less than 100 hp will run with a Viper...that's fast enough for an experienced rider, I can imagine what happens when some rap star or lawyer jumps on one for the first time. This is a show bike, complete and total overkill.

If they can even muscle this beast into the street, they're simply going to end up Darwin Award recipients or organ donors.

Nice concept, but better left on display in a museum than letting some overpaid yahoo onto the street with it. Yeah, it's a running prototype, and they might produce it. But to me it's just an overpriced 500hp fantasy beast for someone who thinks they're lacking somewhere, and replace that with something more powerful between their legs. And this conveyance of pleasure can get them in a hell of a lot of trouble too fast as well!:rolleyes: :eek: :devil:

Basically, kids, don't try this at home.

Somebody will kill themselves. Count on it.

who would want to pay 250,000 for a motorcycle?? i can get 2 cobras for that price!

Can a Cobra go 400 mph? Of course not. But I wouldn't want this motercycle either. It has a 5 gallon gas tank! How long can a V10 run on 5 gallons???

60 miles highway. 50 miles city. that's how far. so about an hour.

It also can go 0 to 60 in 2 SECONDS! Take that the street racing circut and win some cash back....as long as you can hold on.

do you think you could posibly go 450mph on a bike? pluse they said it only does 300mph!

seriously, this bike doesn't seem very practical.... 4 wheels, the heat of a v10, the weight of a v10, the lack of any aero dynamics.... it probably sounds like a beast, so it'll be loud as all hell. i would own one, but I wouldn't own it for driving, just as a show car, ya know? it seems like it's too raw.

according to daimlerchrysler, ag

the 2003 dodge tomohawk concept
dcx has approved the reporduction of 9
tomohawk's for sale in the annual nieman marcus
christmas catalouge for $550,000.00 (usd) s+h extra

doaes anyone have any idea how much it would cost to ship a 1,500
pound motorbike to anywhere in the usa

In the catalogue?!? I have a feeling that they'll be sold before the catalogue is sent out. Yeah it's 550k, but if I had the money it'd be sitting in my garage the day after it goes up for sale.
