A Dodge Viper is one of the fastest cars you can get for under 100 grand. It can go from 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds with its V10 engine. Imagine what that bad boy would do if you put it on a motorcycle. With an estimated top speed of 420 mph, the Dodge Tomahawk boasts the V10 Dodge Viper engine, weighing 3/4 a ton (for people that don’t know about motorcycles, thats insanley heavy). It accelerates from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and runs on 4 wheels for fear of it tipping on turns. The cycle was created to show off the Viper engine, and they figured putting it into a motorcylce that costs more than 5 times the car itself would be a nice way to do it. Obviously not street legal, the Tomahawk is being sold for $555,000 through Neiman Marcus. The top speed of this vehicle has never actually been reached, becuase the people fly off (not kidding). Another unique feature is that it is liquid cooled with two aluminum radiators. I’ve pretty much explained the hotness of this bike, but here are some pictures and a spec sheet to satisfy your need for speed.
