Sorry not to high jack the thread, but...

Yeah the Dodge Tomahawk
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.

I just couldnt get over the rear tire. i saw the other thread where people are running car tires on the rear but im talking GANGSTA low profile tires. Couldn't pay me to ride that thing through even a small corner, i watched him change lanes and im guessing either he had to low of air or just overall bike weight plus his it was almost hitting the rim. going from lane to lane!!! Its a big *** bike too. Hey 2300CCs is cool but ill stick to my 1450...for now.
