Back in 2003, Dodge rolled out this strange beast, calling it the world's fastest motorcycle. Don't know if you can actually call the 'Tomahawk' a motorcycle, since it really has 4 wheels, two front and two back. They do work independently from each other though, so it does lean like a motorcycle, but I've never actually seen any proof that it can corner, since all the videos show it only running in a straight line. Powered by a 500 horsepower 8.3L V10 engine from a Dodge Viper, there's no doubt it has power. Acceleration is purportedly 0-100 kmh in 2.3 seconds, so I guess you'd better hang on! That's if you could have afforded what was claimed to be about a $550,000 price tag. A pretty expensive piece of 'rolling sculpture', as Dodge once described it themselves.

Bizarre looking, to say the least. |

I don't think it ever became street legal. |

It does look like this rider took it out on the town with some confidence, since he is certainly ignoring ATGATT! |

Plenty of photo-op shots on the Internet, but not too many of it in action |

Another posed shot. |
