I just came across this and had to share:
500BHP Dodge Tomohawk

Does this qualify as a motorbike??

old as the hills

I don't think it's a murrabike tho, it doesn't look like you could lean it over does it?

It's got twin wheels that move independantly.

You can get 500hp from a bike and still have it give the semblance of handling... I very much doubt the weight of this bike will let it handle anywhere near a 'proper' bike.

So along with trikes etc... form well over function.

It's not a 'bike' at all.
Bi= 2, and that's got four wheels.

I seriously doubt you'd get that thing round even the slightest corner. Wouldn't mind the 500 brake engine tho Twisted Evil

it has individual wheel axles and suspension, the thing can fall over on it's own;).. it should get round corners find, but with a wider turning circle

I was more thinking of the weight.

680kg?

That's getting on for a small car.

It may have twice the number of tyres, but that's well over twice the weight.

i remember some body posting that on its one and only ride for the press, the test rider crashed it at the first bend Laughing

yeh he crashed at the first bend. But imagine, it would be nothing like any other bike. 500bhp, 2 gears, 6k rpm...... Anyone else think that could be a tad unsettling. That thing would eat clutches.

Saw it at Goodwood a couple of years back - pretty but totally useless. The top speed might be a nice big number, but it's completely theoretical, I don't think it's really any good for anything other than photo opportunities.
