Very cool styling exercise. I may have a chance to see it in the flesh. I
doubt it would be much fun to ride, though there is an Indian with a
flathead ford engine at the Monterey Historics every year that gets ridden
around the pits a lot.
Here's my project, a little more mundane perhaps. I might have mentioned
it already. I own a piece of the company and the founder is one of my best
friends--Barney Li. The bike that's featured (the Lightning S) actually
belongs to me as part of my investment deal, though I don't know when I'll
ever be able to claim it. The other three prototypes are complete, I've
ridden all of them. They are still kind of secret, but the cruiser version
is outrageous looking, weighs 430 pounds and has 130 HP. I've been riding
bikes my entire life, but having that kind of performance in a bile with a
laid back, feet forward, cruiser configuration is just downright scary.

Good morning, all!
Here is a site I recently came across -- I had heard about this bike
before and now Dodge has a great Web site for it, the 500hp 8.3L aluminum
Tomahawk motorcycle. I had heard about it before, back in its concept
phase, but now it is apparently a reality. They list the top speed at
300+ mph (est) and 0-60 as 2.5 seconds (est). Apparently no one can ride
the full potential of the beast! And did I mention the price tag of
$275,000?
Here is the monster:

So Babcock, when does yours arrive? ;)
Enjoy!
Keep Triumphing,
Susan :)
