has anyone seen the dodge "bike" lol i use the term loosely. It has an 8 litre V12 engine in it... and is apparently capable of bout 300mph... which i dont doubt. Its only a concept but it has been made... and looking at it im wondering how it turns. Anyone else seen it? or am i the only 1?

He's talking about a 'concept' bike that 'theoritcally' can do 300mph.

I have seen pics and videos of it, I haven't been impressed. The theoretical speed probably does not include such minor annoyances as air resistance etc.

I doubt it would out accelerate something like a turbo busa, which would cost a lot less to build and would have a hope of going around corners Smile.

Apparently they made a few (12 is the number that pops into my head), and 10 were sold for about $1 million(I think).

They were designed as bikes but as they had 4 wheels were classed as cars so were never going to pass any vehicle laws anywhere. All the bikes went to private collectors/displays.

I only ever saw a small video of one running, that was at about 10 mph, and the leaning (which was quite interesting) didnt actually work at that time. So it involved a very big number point turn.

I'd just like to state for the record that I do not condone or endorse the activities of my questionably sane countrymen in any way. Confused Doh!

That's the Boss Hoss. Only the Yanks. But its 0-60 time beats the Rizla Suzuki GSX-R Thou.

That's the Y2K - road legal in America I think. 230mph. Jay Leno has one - he was in MCN with it. Kept on melting car bumpers at traffic lights apparently. Did I mention it was road legal?? Thinking

Stick an extra 300kg to the front of the GSXR and see how well it accelerates off the line (bit easier to keep the front down like that Smile.

That Tomahawk thing (and I think it deserves the title of 'thing') has the Dodge/Chrysler Viper engine in it. It's been a good and very powerful race engine for years.

Not too sure about the 300mph mind. I think that's being ovelry optimistic. Eh? Liar

It just takes the piss really. And only 502 hp from 8.2 litres? I know it's a V8, but maybe miles to the gallon should be feet to the gallon.
Only in America...
