Yes it is.

The tomahawk is not in production, if you knew what it was you wouldnt disagree. It is barely a motorcycle as you and i know more like a frame with truck tires in which u have to lean over. Either way, it has a 500+ HP dodge viper motor stuffed between the wheeles.

Also, the drag bikes do 200+ MPH consistantly.

I don't wouldn't ride that thing it is unsafe having 4 tires it isn't street legal or even classified as a motorcycle if it has 4 tires. I have seen video of a guy riding one and it didn't look very safe to me. I have never heard of a video of one going 200 Mph beside they dont have a fairing so the ride would have 200 Mph wind tring to blow him off the bike . That would make it very hard to hold on to.

As far as going 200 MPh hell my bike tops out at about 215Mph and is street legal.

no way that dodge creation has ever hit 200mph, maybe it is geared for it but it hasnt gone there. way too dangerous and too risky and too expensive to replace the rider and the bike if something happened.

its all a publicity stunt, and here we are talking it up

it is physically impossible for that bike to do 400 mph or even close to that. it doesnt matter how good the power to weight ratio is, that thing is not areodynamic... at all... top speed relies more on areodynamics than power. and i doubt a person riding that would be able to hang on/control it
