    That's just sick.

    I heard they couldn't get daredevils to test drive that.

    I'd drive it. I'd probably die in a horrific accident, but it would be the best few seconds of my life.

    I am selling my tuned V-Max because its old and expensive and too damn slow. After a few years of thrashing the pants out of 160bhp V4 its just not fun anymore. Dangerous and illegal, likely to get me in a whole heap'o'trouble but the spark has definately left.

    I've was looking for something with a little more edge, all the new bikes seem to have their balls cut off but I very much doubt I can afford one of these. I saw it a little while back when it was at the motor show and it has been my dream bike since.

    As I am currently completely skint I'll offer a straight swap, my V-Max and my wife for a Tomahawk. Hell you can have the kids too.

    I wish they made a 3 wheel variant, or a 4 wheeler. It would be a tad itty bitty slower because of the extra weight, but still deadly fast.

    They debuted it when they were debuting the new Hemi engines. V10 w/ wheels and nothing else. Ridiculous

    Ridiculous, no. Genius. I am wondering though... is it already turbocharged? or perhaps a supercharger would be more suitable? How about a NO2 kit?

    Oh yes my bad, it is 4 wheels, but they're too close together it's just like 2 fat wheels.

    Seen it ages ago. That doesn't affect it's coolness factor. 420 is a bit insane though <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    chances are it would be capable of taking a shot of SST (its another kind of speed booster mainly used in bikes <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

    ubt hmm... who would want to nos at 400?! ohnoes?! a fighter plane is catching up. lets SST our way out. lol


    i would KILL for a chance to play on one of these.. the ultimate thrill


    i am gonna email them and ask for me to be the UK 'daredevi' <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> i wanna

    I think you actually have a chance at testing this baby, 'cause most sane people wouldn't even touch it with a 10 foot pole.

    btw, it wont do 420mph. They estimate 300+ but the power curve required to push past 200mph is getting nasty already. To get to 420mph you'd need to cover this thing in a rocket shaped sleeve.

    Also 2.5 0-60 is a little disapointing as my V-Max does it in 2.8, however I bet its 0-120 is much more impressive.

    As for who'd use NOS. The important thing is to go faster, not how fast, just faster. Always faster.

    Yes, let's put a supercharger on it and get around 900hp... on a bike... jesus. might as well put wings on it, no reason to go that fast anyhow.

    Judging by the topic, I would've thought it was a regular bike.

    It's somewhat Extreme-G. In Extreme-G, you're in the Bike. This pretty much a smaller version. Awesome though...

    Oh, and for anyone who wants to see it, it'll be at E3!!!
