World's Fastest Bike

This is 8200cc Monster of a Bike. It's like riding a 2-wheeled Train Engine.
ENGINE
1. 500 bhp (372 kW) @ 5600 rpm ( 60.4 bhp/liter); 525 lb.-ft. (712 Nm) @ 4200 rpm
2. 10-cylinder 90-degree V-type, liquid-cooled, 505 cubic inches (8277 cc)
3. 356-T6 aluminum alloy block with cast-iron liners, aluminum alloy cylinder heads
4. Bore x Stroke: 4.03 inches x 3.96 inches (102.4 x 100.6)
5. Two pushrod-actuated overhead valves per cylinder with roller-type hydraulic lifters
6. Sequential, multi-port electronic fuel injection with individual runners
7. Compression Ratio: 9.6:1
8. Max Engine Speed: 6000 rpm
9. Fuel Requirement: Unleaded premium, 93 octane (R+M/2)
10. Oil System: Dry Sump; takes 8 quarts Mobil1 10W30 Synthetic
11. Cooling System: Twin aluminum radiators mounted atop engine intake manifolds, force-fed

from front-mounted, belt-driven turbine fan.
12. Takes 11 quarts of antifreeze.
13. Exhaust System: Equal-length tubular stainless steel headers with dual collectors and

central rear outlets





SUSPENSION:

Front:
Outboard, single-sided parallel upper and lower control arms made from polished billet aluminum. Mounted via ball joint to aluminum steering uprights and hubs. Five degrees caster. Single, fully adjustable centrally located coil-over damper ( 2.25-inch coil with adjustable spring perch); pullrod and rocker-actuated mono linkage. Center-lock racing-style hubs.

Rear:
Hand-fabricated box-section steel inboard swing arms, incorporating "hydral-link" lockable recirculating hydraulic circuit parking stand. Single fully adjustable centrally located Koni coil-over damper ( 2.25-inch coil with adjustable spring perch); pushrod and rocker-actuated mono linkage. Center-lock racing-style hubs

BRAKES:
Front :
20-inch perimeter-mounted drilled machined stainless steel rotors, one per wheel. Two

four-piston fixed aluminum calipers per wheel (16 pistons total), custom designed. Blue

anodized caliper finish. Hand-activated.
Rear:
20-inch perimeter-mounted drilled cast-iron rotors, one per wheel. One four-piston fixed

aluminum caliper per wheel (8 pistons total), custom designed. Blue anodized caliper finish.

Foot-activated.
The Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine with four wheels

beneath it.
Chrysler will be selling the original Tomahawk concept and nine replicas through Neiman

Marcus, for up to $555,000 each. The motorcycles cannot be licensed, so they cannot be

legally driven on public roads. A Chrysler spokesman told Reuters they were meant as rolling

sculptures.
Rumors had the Tomahawk selling for under $200,000, most likely at a loss or breakeven

price, for publicity purposes – but still fully drivable. Wolfgang Bernhard, Chrysler's not

particularly respected first mate, was said to be enthusiastic about that project, so much

so that hundreds were projected to be built at under $200,000 each. They reportedly cost

Chrysler over $100,000 to build (admittedly the work is outsourced).
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.
The Tomahawk remains on display at auto shows – though well out of reach of the general

public, elevated on a special display.
