When You Thought You Seen It All

Question: When is a chopper not a bike? How about when it's a bike with 4 wheels.
Here is Twisted Evil

I would love to take a ride on it But I might look like this when I finished

Yeah, it probably has the turning radius of the Queen Mary at low speed.
But a twin rotor Wankel motor? WAHH WHHOOOOOOOOO they say 200mph in the article; I think it's more like 240 or more.

It is similar in layout to the motorcycle with the Hemi engine in it.

Dude I Want That.

I remember when the Dodge Tomahawk came out in 2003 (the all silver bike pictured in the previous post); they unveiled it at an auto show as strictly a "yeh, we can put a V10 into a motorcycle" concept vehicle. Was never meant to be street legal but there was a company in Colorado that started making them after Dodge/Chrysler released the rights to it; those were street legal. REALLY expensive, and really scary. I think they only made like a dozen of them; biggest problem they had was cooling.
Here's a video on the original prototype:

The thing to understand about this bike, you can 'trick' it easilly into two wheel steering, and in very ginger motions operate like a 4 wheeler. It's either very intuitive swaping between or very tricky. Only a test drive would tell you for sure.

The suspension on the Tomahawk was very trick; the wheels actually operated independently of each other. The metal band between the front wheels had an LED headlight (pretty much an unknown to most in 2003). On the two rear wheels, only one was connected to the drive source, the other one was just there to balance the look and the ride. The metal band back there hid a "hub" and had an LED brake light. The disk brakes were the outer rings on the wheel to give it a larger grip area, and to improve cooling; if you notice on the front wheel it has two, two piston calipers, the rears only one.
Never guess I was all goo gaa over it when it came out huh?

Perhaps a downsized version of the Tomahawk? Extreme Motor Sales.

I still want to know what's the icon for at 9 o'clock on the left doughnut .... looks to me like tank is on the way ..

no matter how many times I look at it, it doesn't get any better

I think that is the key immobilizer symbol. It comes on briefly to let you know that the light works but goes off when it senses the right chipped key.
