The Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine with four wheels beneath it. The engine breathes through twin throttle bodies mounted right up front. (That’s what the two round things above the front tires are).
Chrysler sold nine replicas through Neiman Marcus, for up to $555,000 each. The motorcycles cannot be legally driven on public roads.
*The Dodge Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of nearly 400 mph. Each pair of wheels is separated by a few inches and each wheel has an independent suspension. Bernhard said four wheels were necessary to handle the power from the engine.

It has four wheels hence it is not a bike. Why? Because bikes have two wheels, not four. Its more like an ATV with really tiny axles.
Anybody remember that jesse james show where he tried to make a motorbike using an eighteen-wheeler's actual engine? The engine itself was so big that it was just impossible to support it on two wheels, so he ended up making a trike instead (two wheels in the back, one in front). Whatever it was, it wasn't a bike.
