Wow. Really WOW A Viper motor on a motorcyle frame with 4 wheels. Sick. Insane. Morbid.

I need a different job so I could get one.

I like that new Mustang. The first thing that came to mind was: It breaths sex just sitting there. Yes, it has a retro theme but it looks really, really, good.

I also like the 427. Now that is a Car. Some may say no way (because of the name). But a 590 horse aluminum V10 is just (I can't find the right words ). How about: Succulent?

Dodge motorcycle? Now I'm a motorcycle fan but I just don't get this one. I know it's a concept bike and all, but four wheels? The first question that comes to my mind is how do you steer it? It sure looks nice but for my money, concept or no concept, you can't beat a real motorcycle from a motorcycle builder, IMHO. Then again if I had money comming out the wahzoo it would make a good show piece. To each their own I guess. GO YAMAHA!

All I have to say is if I was a rock star I would buy it, the only problem...well a couple of problems is.... 1. I am not a rock star. 2. Never driven a motorcycle in my life

Wow, that's a freakshow of a bike. 500 horsepower on a motorcycle? I bet it does killer burnouts. And 400 mph? Schlitz, man...imagine trying that on the open road, or hanging on, for that matter. Enough to make me tingly...

A bike like that, for the public, without a special training class would be a lawsuit waiting to happen. My 75 CB400F can easily pull the front wheel from an idle, first or second gear, now lets add, what, 425hp to that? The first guy with more money than brains to buy one will kill himself, and Chrysler will get sued into oblivion. Too bad, it looks kinda cool. Anybody seen those Boss Hogg bikes? A chebby big block on a Harley frame. I saw one once, and I swear, the guy must have done some creative positioning to clear the air cleaner stud and nut. This wasn't a bike you jump on, if you get my drift.

You can get more power from a 1.3l 4 cylinder than any bike can put to the ground. Anything larger is a waste of metal.

Example: A new Hayabusa (Suzuki 1.3l street bike) will run near the 2.5second 0-60MPH time quoted for that Dodge bike. And it will certainly stop and turn better.

Isn't Suzuki supposed to start importing their Hayabusa F-1 style car sometime this year? It is a small racer, I can't remember the class, but it looks just like a mini F-1 car, and it has the 1.3l Hayabusa engine, hence the name. Anybody know anything about this?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 01-15-03 AT 07:00 PM (EST)]I'm familiar with the project, but I could not find any info the last time I surfed Suzuki's site. They may have canned the project. It was to sell for about $25000. A little pricey for a non-street legal toy. Albeit a very fun toy.

I suspect there was not enough interest in the current economic slump.
