i was about to ask if I was the only one who thought batman when they saw it

A little understated in my opinion

I don't want my crotch anywhere near a blower... wait.
HnngRightInTheFeels
That's not a blower, just a naturally aspirated intake manifold.
PingPongPlayer
Hmmm maybe I DO want my crotch next to it then...
Normy08
So they made a bat cycle. Cool.
DinoHimself
And yet the video shows the rider just kinda cruising... Let that thing off its leash!!
FelixG
I wanna see the thing try to turn
DespiseEveryone
It has 1 gear it seems.
SpaghettiFox
It has 470hp. It only needs 1 gear.

In swedish "lasarett" is a kind of hospital. I guess that makes sense.
ItaliansDoItBetterButIAmLazy
from Italian: lazzaretto is a quarantine station for maritime travellers. First one was in Venice.
Copstuff
How many kinds of hospitals are there is Sweden?
Zap117
Basic medium heavy and yogonnadie
TheFrenchGirl
Weird thing: In France too, it was: an hospital for leprous.

Now featuring a fuel tank big enough to finish backing it out of your driveway.

Pssh. My skyrim character has more than 470 HP

The tomahawk was first.

I'm not going to lie. This made me hard.
jvanhoos
Can it go 185? Will I lose my license?
Cosmogonic
mostly your life.
Textuality
*facepalms* I saw 470 HP and the first thing that popped into my head was "a motorcycle has hit points?" :)
MaddPainting
Reminds me of Warhammer Forgeworld Legion Bikes
skongebob
turning radius..nope
Cosmogonic
yup. like a tomahawk. or a bus. your take.
Ch3vali3r
Soo... Dodge Tomahawk?
rubbarz
4 wheels and a car engine (LS engine swap from the looks) its not a bike anymore. Its a suicide car
jvanhoos
It's a Maserati engine
Cosmogonic
i'm amazed how any V8 becomes an LS here.

Now I have to break out my memorabilia.
Cosmogonic
yeah...no. nothing in common.
whiskeytango73
Cursory search says 'dry' weight is about 900 lbs. And has better power to weight ratio than a cruise missle. Sounds about right.
Cosmogonic
900lbs/480hp. below 1kg/hp. we're between a LMP1 car (1800lbs and about 700-900hp) and a Formula 1 (which has 900+ for 450kgs/1000lbs)
whiskeytango73
So, basically, not a cruise missile (explosive payload) but a rail gun (kinetic energy)? ;)
Cosmogonic
in terms of kinetic energy, you dont have a lot to talk about. 280fps to 350fps, you're in the airgun ranges at best.
Arcticgamez
so is it a bike or a car cuz its got 4 wheels
bsilly00
i was hoping for a motorbike/quad transformer
CallMeJerryBecauseIAmJerry
At this point no one gives a heck
Achibot
4 wheels is for all legal purposes (ie insurance) a car.
ipreferdarkchocolate
technical it's a quad bike or ATV (but obviously without the A)
eroso
Sacrebleu! -France
Osarphi
But ... nobody says that anymore ...
shadowdasher210
4 wheels = car. France fails again.
chickenonaanairplane
Good point! "quadricycle"
ImmaNeedBoutTreeFiddy
Or quadbike
Android2711
That would be oxymoronic. Quad=4 bi=2. That would make it a four-two
Guy451
Actually not, since the configuration matters, it is in Bike Configuration with 4 wheels. A truck with 4 rear wheels is still a truck.
Guy451
Or a 2x4 Truck, so that would be a 2x2 Bike. There are also 4x4, 4x6 and 6x6 trucks as well.
muttonchoppa
Doesn't matter cause it probably handles like a boat
DoubleNubbin
Definitely. Wheels as wide as that you're not leaning it, and with that length it's basically a bus.
tehtaxidriver
Would corner like one with that length
EscarFrazzle
It has 4 wheels so it technically can't be licensed for the road in the states.
MiketheD
Depends on the state. In my state I see quads and side by sides licensed on the road all the time.
EscarFrazzle
Man, my state sucks. I'd gladly trade my KLR for a licensed quad.
EscarFrazzle
Wait, it might be a farm license. In Iowa you don't even to have them licensed for farm use.
MiketheD
They are definitely normal licenses. We have tons of farmland close by (idaho potatoes) but they are legal for city roads as well.
EscarFrazzle
Did you report me? My message got deleted.
ronjohnson
done in ´03- the dodge tomahawk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XehkMQpeyA
quartatiousofmars
Yeah i thought I remembered a couple magazines featuring this in the early 2000s
Skynet2xx
I remember seeing this thing at an Auto show in Toronto around this time, blew my mind when I was 10, even if it was crap
SirSnickleFritz
I remember watching this when I was 12.
TheLords
NotThatJoeYouKnow
I was thinking the same thing
Cosmogonic
only lazareth made several of these. which work, are road legal and can be driven fast. the tomahawk cannot.
TekPriest1975
I concur, definitely a redux
BrbnOnTheRox
Yeah, what this guy said!
Darrions
But the tomahawk was badly made and couldn't be used because it was impossible to handle correctly
WhatzitTooya
Well, how does the french one perform?
ChaosandChaos
My guess? Exactly the same. Since it's pretty much exactly the same.
Darrions
They say it's better but since I never saw it nor read a real review sooo idk
Razgriz3RogerThat
But this one can change direction!
BigAdam
They where also sold to customers disabled. For safety.
gsw30
Fun fact:never figured the on road top speed of the tomahawk because the rider could not hold done beyond a certain point. Lab says >400mph
LosPer
With the right fairings and tuck they could...
LacquerHead
Nobody has driven the tomahawk faster than 100 mph. Apparently it's "an automotive sculpture" and not intended to be ridden.
BigBadBillyBoy
It shipped without the chain installed so buyers couldn't assemble the "kit" themselves.
Enoch1
I'd like to give it a try...
Turdnado
Considering the all-out land-speed record for a motorcycle is over 376mph for a 2.6L bike -- maybe, but there are a LOT of factors.
WhatzitTooya
I feel obliged to remind you that the 2.6 liter bike featured over 1000 horsepowers and had a much more aerodynamic body.
Turdnado
I think that would go under "a LOT of factors" wouldn't you?
WhatzitTooya
The two most important factors. I would not like to file them under "further details", contrary to the displacement of the engine.
WhatzitTooya
Not with the aerodynamics of a barn door. Fastest bike ever gets close to 400 mph, but with twice the horsepowers and a much sleeker design.
Cosmogonic
376mph. and we're talking about an aerodynamic pill with 1000hp.
WhatzitTooya
It even made it to 394 mph, but only on single runs. Anyway, that tomahawk would never even get close to that. No fucking way.
Cosmogonic
i double that.
justlivinthedream
Nice. So what's its zero to death?

Depending on where you're coming from, you could easily get shot in Chicago on the way.
cuteandcuddly
Heh. Classic Detroit.
Koshunae
This bike is the epitome of "put an LS in it."
Cosmogonic
b-but it's a quad cam mazeratti engine D:
Koshunae
It has red valve covers so like basically the same thing.
TheMonkeysAngst
He's thinking of the boss hoss I think
Cosmogonic
that i doubt. and an LS powered boss hoss? Cmon you need at least a Merlin or a Arias to qualify.
moto192834
sort of unrelated, but there are a number of sport bikes you can buy for under 10 grand that have sub 3 second 0-60s
mindroeder
We bought a cbr600rr new for 9k. Granted it was a two year old model still left on the floor, but 0-60 with a capable rider is 2.9s
moto192834
nice. If motorcycles were invented today, there is no way in hell they'd get the OK for street legal use
mindroeder
Lol you're probably right.
OverratedUserName
Not brand new. But some used yes. You can almost have one with turbo and NOS. I think the cheapest one in finland was like 11k€. Hayabusa.
[deleted]
[deleted]
OverratedUserName
I know that those bikes can under 3s but busa with turbo+nos is just one step ahead. And you can almost have it also with 10k.
[deleted]
[deleted]
Achibot
Nonsense. A strong negotiator could get an R6 and and a soft rear slick for €10k. All's left now is practising them clutchless upshifts.
OverratedUserName
You are saying theres some country where you can buy brand new r6 with 10k€? I want to move there.
Achibot
Saw a floor model at a main dealer in Dublin for 10.8k last month. Used for demos/testdrives and had some nicks on the paint tho.
Fyros
Well if I did the exchange rate right you can get one in the US for less than that.
