[Dayspring]

Yup... Detroit Auto Show. Dodge's concept motorcycle.

Viper Engine on a motorcycle chassis.

0-60 in 2.5 seconds.

[Havoc_online]

holy cow! I want one! :D

[shartley]

Heh…. Interesting. Not my style though.

It also does not look very comfortable. For those who like it… have at it. I would rather ride a Harley. ;) You want speed alone? Why not strap a rocket to a pair of roller skates and hang on! :D

You flying off the bike the second after. Seriously though, that is nice looking. My dad used to drag race bikes in the 60's, they took and engine out of a mustang and put it onto a bike chassis. Worked great for short runs...

[Dayspring]

How about this- Army's Anti-terrorism truck setup.

Includes Missle Launcher-

[Dayspring]

Good way to clear traffic. :D

i was up at corporate headquarters for a meeting today and hopped onto a non-functional styling mockup (read: tan fiberglass on a re-bar base) they had on display :)

very comfy (the back of the seat literally locks your rump in place), the only serious downside i noticed is that my knees rested right where the engine would be placed. i'm no scientist, but knowing how i ride bikes, and i doubt that i would want my body directly touching a viper motor once i get it "warmed" up.

none the less i would still sell a kidney for one.

[Dayspring]

I was at the Indianapolis Car Show over Christmas and got to see alot of the 2003 models of cars.

This one was one of my favorites.

Nissan 350Z

[Dayspring]

:D

[Dayspring]

BMW Z4

[Dayspring]

Honda S2000

REALLY cool car. Fit like a glove.

[Remington]

Yea, I love those Honda's. Red exterior with the black interior is my favorite. It'd be nice if I could afford one. :D

[EsPo]

i <i>heard</i> something about them going over 300 miles an hour....

[petefol]

reminds me of the motorcycle from final fantasy 7. and dodge said that it can "theoretically" go 300mph, but has not proven it yet.

[pbzmag]

The bike looks like something out of the next Terminator movie!

[EsPo]

ic.... well heres the quote from them

<b><i>The 1,500-pound Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of 300 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.</b></i>

[Quiet]

That crotch rocket does lokk like a lot of fun, think I'd have to make sure my donor card was filled out before riding it though.

The truck I absolutely love. How many time have I wished to have rocket launchers during rush hour?

The Z is an old favourite of mine, I've driven a 280Z and a twin turbo 300Z. If that thing is in keeping it would be such a sweet ride.

[lopxtc]

Now if only Dodge could build the bike from Akira I would be happy :) :) :)

[PsychoBaller]

The new concept cars coming out every year almost reminds me of the world turning into one giant ANIME movie...

I mean.... that Cycle alone looks like the ones that can be found in Akira and such......

~da "fearing and praising the future" baller

[zads27]

FUGLY BIKE.

Well...

Aerodynamics won't allow it to do 300 mph. ever.
Bikes with comparable horsepower at the wheel are still trying to hit 250mph. unsucessfully.

0-60 in 2.5 seconds? The superbikes out there already do it (R1, etc) 2.5-2.8 secs.

not by dodge, but atleast someone did it

[gimp]

That thing isn't even a motorcycle, it's a 4 wheeler. I'd like to have one of those puppies. Cruisin around in NH without my helmet. That would rule. I'd get hit by a big bug and it would break my face.

[Muzikman]

Bah...already been done...and this looks better IMO.

[BTAutoMag]

reminds me of these sophmores at my school. they were going about 120 down a back road and one of 'em spots a cop and yells "COP". he slams on the breaks and still goes by the cop at around 75. later they were talking (this is where i found out about it) and i comented that if you slam on your breaks the cop is MORE likely to pull you over. he says,

"what was i going to do? ease of the gas and walk by at around 100":D:D

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

WOW that truck is only like the kewlest thing ever i want a truck with a missle launcher:D

[Automaggin2]

that thing will never beproduced, is it actually w rokin prototype? i was lookin at it in school today, its called hte tomahawk. its way to unconvitional. i am lookin forwards to those new stangs and the new bmw 3 series.

I could not agree more.... :D

[Muzikman]

You know, now that I look at it closer, that Dodge bike looks a lot like the bikes they used in Tron:)

I was just at a BMW dealer with my dad two weekends ago, and I recall hearing that the 3 redisgn wasn't until 2006, since BMWs have a 6 year life. You're going to be waiting a while, then. The 5s are due next year, I believe. The spy pics I've seen look pretty nice, but I hope the back end doesn't end up looking like the new 7. *shudder* What I can't wait for is the rumored, V10 powered M5. Too bad I probably won't be able to afford one for a long, long time.
