This thing is just insane
 

Chrysler Group Chief Operating Officer Wolfgang Bernhard motors along the stage aboard the brand-new Dodge Tomahawk V-10, 8.3-liter (505 cubic inch) concept motorcycle at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 6, 2003. The Tomahawk features four-wheel independent suspension, and the superbike's engine, borrowed from the Viper sports car, can propel it at speeds of nearly 400 mph.

Kind of like those Chevy V8 powered Harleys or the turbine powered sportbike shown below riden by Jay Leno.

Why on earth does anyone need something like this? How do you gear a motocycle with that much torque?

I don't know much about them but I think the Boss Hoss Harleys use some type of automatic transmission. It may say on their site. I've seen the tubine cruising through the paddock at Road Atlanta. Strange, just a constant pitch whistle blowing a huge amount of air out that pipe.

Somehow Ijust don't think you are going to see many of them on the road. If someone can do it they will......

The guy in the top picture kinda looks like Conan O'Brien
