The 1st one is silly as it's got a car engine with training wheels. Lol
The others are cool as they are real motorcycles. Trying to balance one of those bad boys at a stop light might get you squished. I wonder if anyone can really drive and control one of these or if it's just only for show? I know they are good show. |

Actually, the Dodge Tomahawk is the world's largest (not in physical size) motorcycle. It has a V10 8.3 liter, Dodge Viper engine, at a whopping 8500cc. This is an actual bike made by Dodge, not some Frankenstein throw-together.

Since neither of those bikes, the Monster or Tomahawk, run on 2 wheels, are they really motorcycles?
I used to see some Boss Hoss cycles in the states. True 2 wheeled bikes with a chevy block engine in them. Insane. |

I have $10 that says the owner of that bike hits a bump and is ripped off the back of the bike by the back tire. |

What appears as 2 tires on the front and back of the Tomahawk motorcycle are actually 1 as they are connected and do not rotate independently. So, technically speaking, the Tomahawk is a motorcycle.
On another note, have you seen Killacycle? It's the world's fastest electric-powered motorcycle.

The incredibly touching video with Tears in Heaven as its backdrop mentioned that it has four wheels with independent suspension. |
