Check this one out that you can actually buy.

There are 2 of them are in my neck of the woods. My best friend talked to one of the owners at a stop light. The reply to "How does it ride?" was "Imagine god pulling you down the road while trying not to let go of the handle bars!"

I saw the Tomahawk in person at a vintage motorsports event at Watkins Glen. It's an impressive piece of engineering, especially the front wheels (dual wheels that turn independently to keep the same angle) and the V-10 packaging. They started it up and it was real loud. Nobody got to drive it though, probably too dangerous if you stepped on the throttle too far!

I really don't think the tomahwak is an actual working motorcycle. All pics out there of it nobody is seen riding it.
