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.
My brother actually got to ride this beast..He said it was Not only heavy it was scary fast

One pulled up to a stop light next to me. At green, we both took off and he ate my 103 stroker stage V alive. It was all over by several bike lengths before I hit second gear.

One of the guys I ride with has one with about $4000 in mods to it. He showed me the dyno sheet and it was putting 183 hp to the ground. As another poster indicated, the handling is actually quite nimble for a bike that size...

Test rode one once. Very fast and very heavy feeling at low speeds as I remember.

Triumph shold have borrowed some styling cues from the 1928 Indian model 401.
