WOW. Anybody need a kidney?

lack of fairings just makes me go "eh"... it'd be a neat bike to ride after the apocalypse.

Lack of fairing makes me go WOOHOO!! Love that bike! :nkick: Price on the bike makes me cry in my coffee a little. Project TL1000S FTW

Thats a seriously nice ride. :drool:

$30k... no thanks the looks aren't that impressive. i'm not a fan of tubular frames. it reminds me of low tech bicycles. -a|ex yeah, bike does look sick (not in a good way)

Pricetag puts it on my lame list

I likey.

Autobot or Deceptocon?

Autobot or Deceptocon? Autobot.

Autobot. OIC.

I like it because its different.

:lols: My new desktop at work! I like it!:dthumb: Absolutely wicked- much sharper than the Tuono.

I guess if your into that kind of thing.

That thing makes me happy in my pants. Love the swingarm.

don't usually like tubular frames, but looks pretty good. now, 30 large? don't look that good.

Autobot. so is that 4wheel yammi a decepticon? who would win in a fight?

so is that 4wheel yammi a decepticon? who would win in a fight? Autobot, of course.

i have always been more of a full fairing kinda guy but that bike is awsome. i would definately buy one if i only have the cash. lol

definately a hot lookin' bike!!

if you had $30k, you would buy that bike? -a|ex Nope. But it would be cool to see someone else who did have the money and bought it riding it around.

if you had $30k, you would buy that bike? -a|ex I'd pay off my student loans. If I had a cool million I'd buy that bike.

I do buy $30k bikes... and I'd hump a seriously fat chick for that bike!!!!

I'd pay off my student loans. If I had a cool million I'd buy that bike. :iagree: I do buy $30k bikes... and I'd hump a seriously fat chick for that bike!!!! :baha:

I hump fat chicks for free... They're like mopeds. i'm too short to hump fat chicks... there are more options with skinny chicks. (no offense to fat chicks, my wife plumped up after marriage) -a|ex

i'm too short to hump fat chicks... there are more options with skinny chicks. (no offense to fat chicks, my wife plumped up after marriage) -a|ex My preference is the thinner ones... I like curves... Fat chicks come in handy every once in a while... I am quoted as saying, "I am the ultimate wingman, cause I'm already hitting on the fat chick when you figure out she's got a hot friend." :lol:

I hump fat chicks for free... They're like mopeds. Yeah but didn't you defeat the whole logic in that by telling us? :idk: :slol:

Pictures don't do that bike - or any Bimota for that matter - justice. I like the Delirio, but the Tesi 3D is the Dream Bike. In the Spring the RC51 will be up for sale and I'll be riding either a mid-90s Bimota SB6, or a new SB8R.

Wow. That thing rules.

Wow. That thing rules. This thing rules http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x166/Phenix_Rider/dodge_tomahawk_01.jpg

This thing rules No, that thing flucking sucks. One of the dumbest concepts ever built.

Check out OldTymeBiker's Bimota. It's a SICK SICK SICK ride. I've thought about contacting him on more than one occasion. But I really want an SB6 or 8R.

Is the entire wheel the brake rotor? like on a bicycle?

Is the entire wheel the brake rotor? like on a bicycle? More like a Buell rotor. Looks like the blue things hold it to the rim. Max lean angle is 45 degrees.

I like it but the exhaust looks like SHAT

I've thought about contacting him on more than one occasion. But I really want an SB6 or 8R. I've rode it and I can honestly tell you it's an incredible machine.

I would hop on it in a minute...if I saw Tina Turner and heard people chanting two man enter..one man leave...two man enter ...one man leave I am sure it is a great piece of performance, but it would take a while to grow on me. Might look better in person, but if I had an extra 30K to drop on one I could let it sit in the garage until it did grow on me.:wink:

$30k... no thanks the looks aren't that impressive. i'm not a fan of tubular frames. it reminds me of low tech bicycles. -a|ex yeah, bike does look sick (not in a good way) tubular frames although heavier are actually stiffer.

tubular frames although heavier are actually stiffer. I love the look of them.

tubular frames although heavier are actually stiffer. Not necessarily. Stiffer than what?

More like a Buell rotor. Looks like the blue things hold it to the rim. Max lean angle is 45 degrees. 45º!?!?!!?! That's AMAZING!!!! I love the look of them. :withstupi

45º!?!?!!?! That's AMAZING!!!! I assume you're being sarcastic. Most sportbikes can go a decent amount more than that, especially with aftermarket rearsets. The tires are usually what limits them at that point, assuming they are street tires. PP's, for example, can do about 52 degrees.

If you don't think a 45º max lean angle is impressive on the Tomahawk, then you are a total moron.

If you don't think a 45º max lean angle is impressive on the Tomahawk, then you are a total moron. I'm not impressed because that thing sucks, and probably doesn't even ride well at all let alone lean. Stupid concept. How does the thing even lean? With two tires off the ground? Or do the swingarms rotate axially?That might be impressive. But they probably just measured how far it could lean before those cylindrical things on the lower front swingarms would touch the ground. Stupid.

Stupid. It wasn't built, but to do anything other than display the V10 engine... I figured an engineer would appreciate what goes into creating something like this. http://img.timeinc.net/popsci/images/auto/auto0403dodge_A3_650.jpg

I figured an engineer would appreciate what goes into creating something like this. http://img.timeinc.net/popsci/images/auto/auto0403dodge_A3_650.jpg It is cool that the swingarms move/slide to keep the tires on the ground. But the whole idea of it is stupid anyways. I'm sure it handles awfully and weighs a thousand pounds. I'd like to see someone actually riding that thing on a fast sweeper at the supposed 45 degree lean angle. As an engineer, no, I still don't like it. Maybe a designer would appreciate it. I don't like most concepts in general because they are just made to produce press. They are flashy, don't function, and are impractical. All they need to do is roll into a showroom, withstand a thousand flashbulbs, and roll out. They usually barely even run, let alone perform well. I guess the first part of your statement fits right in here: it was built to display the engine. Check. It was also built to generate press and stir things up. Check. Mission accomplished for Dodge, and I applaud them for their radical thinking. I still don't like it, though. Now, when someone takes a concept idea, engineers it flawlessly to work and last the life of the vehicle, implements it into the manufacturing process without blowing the budget, and puts it out on the market in large numbers of vehicles on schedule, that is what impresses me.

In the Spring the RC51 will be up for sale and I'll be riding either a mid-90s Bimota SB6, or a new SB8R. trust me, you'll be sorry!! I owned both, electrical problems, paoli front end sucked, always leaking, minimal ground clearance, but awsome wheelie machines.

Now, when someone takes a concept idea, engineers it flawlessly to work and last the life of the vehicle, implements it into the manufacturing process without blowing the budget, and puts it out on the market in large numbers of vehicles on schedule, that is what impresses me. Has that ever happened?

Now, when someone takes a concept idea, engineers it flawlessly to work and last the life of the vehicle, implements it into the manufacturing process without blowing the budget, and puts it out on the market in large numbers of vehicles on schedule, that is what impresses me. Technically, they all do. when they die/break, the "life" of the vehicle could be considered over. Otherwise, there has never been anything engineered to do this. :idk: so it's either win or lose, depends on how you look at it.

Has that ever happened? Yes. Technically, they all do. when they die/break, the "life" of the vehicle could be considered over. Otherwise, there has never been anything engineered to do this. :idk: so it's either win or lose, depends on how you look at it. They all do? No way, pal. The life of components do not necessarily corrolate to the life of the vehicle. There have been MANY components on various vehicles not implemented properly. All vehicles have their own little quirks. Certain generations of Audi A4's have aluminum control arms that liked to snap, for example. Maybe my post wasn't written clearly enough. What I meant was, say a company comes out with a new suspension concept. They then market the idea at a car show and it is received well. After that, someone has to take the idea and implement it, and make it actually work and be reliable, not break the bank, be easily serviceable, and get it on the vehicle and working by the vehicle's release date. When that is done well, that is the part that impresses me. Not far-fetched unrealistic ideas or concept cars that don't even run.

Yea that bike does look sick!! Somebody give it a coat and some tussin!

When that is done well, that is the part that impresses me. Not far-fetched unrealistic ideas or concept cars that don't even run. Guess I was being picky with it. Going from a concept vehicle, most everything is going to be a new idea on it... at least with the rest of the design. Soo... for it to all last the "life of the vehicle" what is actually allowed to break without making it a failure? There will always be something that breaks sometime, I don't care how well it's engineered... That was my point... Probably a missinterpritation between us.

Not necessarily. Stiffer than what? pretty much all aluminum frames, exotic bikes with carbon frames like the sb8 are stiffer then a steel trellis, but has almost no flex to it and are suseptable to cracking.
