Tron motorbike becomes a reality
If you remember the movie Tron, and the motorbikes that were in the movie, you'll understand why I made the connection.

DaimlerChrysler has created a concept bike called the Dodge Tomahawk. Its powered by a 8.3 liter (505 cubic inch) 500Hp V-10 engine from a Dodge Viper mated to a motorcycle frame.

The 1,500-pound Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of 300-400 mph.

Great news for those rich enough to afford one, Chrysler is actually thinking of producing these for sale at $250k a piece.

Great picture here:

Looks like a good way to get killed. Not to attractive either. (Yuck) IMO.

Mein Gott, they even had to retro style that? Chrysler's designers need some help. Personally, I'd rather have the Viper the motor came from.

I like the idea very much, but I don't like the design of this particular bike. I loved the movie tron, and I thought the bikes they used in the movie looked very cool.

Looks like it would gulp gas like a Hummer.
