The Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine with four wheels beneath it. The engine breathes through twin throttle bodies mounted right up front. The Tomahawk concept is an awesome-sounding machine. Clouds of blue smoke vied for attention with the throaty rumble of the mighty V-10, and hitting the gas visibly opened the twin throttle body blades up front where the headlight would normally be. Though deeper and more rumbling than most motorcycles, it did not seem to be louder overall – just deeper and less shrill.
The Dodge Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of nearly 400 mph. Each pair of wheels is separated by a few inches and each wheel has an independent suspension. Bernhard said four wheels were necessary to handle the power from the engine.

hi,
it is wonderfull and powerful bike, either it is four wheeler biker nor its a two wheeler bike. little bit confuse.
Hey,
This is the coolest bike I have ever seen!!!!
Stunning piece of craftsmanship, it justifies the price
I’d imagine a 3.2 gallon tank would just about get you out of the garage!
Would I like to ride a cruise missile – probably not… but then its not for me! I’d probably just sit on it and rev it.
looks rediculusly uncomfortable. Whay do you need that much engine to cruise around town? If you race it you might as welll go against dragsters cause it has four wheels
You guys are idiots
thats a nice ride
this motor hot yooo
this is faster than a cruise missile i mean the tomahawk guided cruise missile dodge corporation is certainly the way to go others should learn from them the whole of uganda my country is impressed
What (besides top speed) makes this bike NOT street legal?
This bike came out in 2003, long before Chrysler was bankrupt. And do we really need a 500hp motorcycle, at any price??? No wonder they almost folded. What a real waste of time and money.
i hear the speed testers got to 200 mph and quit
Come on for what it is, it is something to marvel and love. It will never be a production bike. It is an awe insiring creation and some day by serendipity it could lead to something greater and in mass production. For now it's just one of the things that make life interesting. Negative people hmmm. what good are they?
