    Tomahawk Collector's Motorcycle

    "Motorcycle" isn't really the best way to describe this single-passenger powerhouse. "Boundary-breaking masterpiece" is more appropriate.

    • With an out-of-this-world frameless design, the revolutionary Tomahawk is sculpted out of aluminum and powered by a Dodge Viper 505 cubic-inch V-10 engine that cranks out 500 horsepower.
    • Became an instant collector's item when it debuted at the 2003 North American International Auto Show.
    • Has the muscle to potentially achieve speeds of up to 300 mph.
    • Dual wheels at both ends.
    • Four-wheel independent suspension for stability and traction as well as speed.
    • Cutting-edge design and Art Deco-inspired style.
    • This little gem is being offered as a true collector's piece and is not intended to be street legal; nor is it meant to be driven.

    For more information and to order, please call 1-877-GRAB LIFE.*

    * Neiman Marcus is acting as an advertising agent for this item. MSRP excludes tax.
    There's something sad about a society that produces a market for this.. it costs as much as a really nice house and is never intended to be used. Some filthy rich hedonist idiot will buy it.. even though that money could provide 5 poor hardworking families with decent homes to live in. Then he will probably try to drive the thing and kill himself. It's a seriously ****ed up world.

        Second that!! That is without a doubt the ugliest bike ever produced.
        If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

          KvH, I really don't see anything wrong with it. I think it's just a prototype, and there's nothing wrong with making a collector's item out of it. As a piece of engineering, it's quite a feat, and I bet some valuable lessons were learned in the making.

            Just the whole concept of a bike with a Viper's V-10 engine is mind-boggling

              Yeah, but it was in the Nieman-Marcus catalog.

              Alright, you might have a point there.. but how about Cher's $200,000 dresses?

                  God, could you imagine going 300mph on that thing, you would have one fat arse once your stomach, lungs and head get forced backwards.

                    OK, so your hands go on the handlebars that appear to be behind & above the front wheel. Your arse rests on the bit pointing up and forward above the rear wheel. So you're lying forwards.

                    WHERE THE HELL DO YOUR LEGS GO?

                    Trailing along behind? Or tucked up by your sides? I hope they give free yoga lessons with the bike...

                      god point there, gnep!

                      but... if it has 4 wheels, it's not a bike anymore. very narrow car with a rather lacking body shell.

                        Saw film of it being ridden a couple of weeks ago on the Speed channel. You lay on your stomach with your feet just fore of the rear wheel.
