Dodge Tomahawk

The cylinder used in these bikes is Viper V10 engine. It is 500 Horse Power Engine with 10 Cylinders. Thw Shaft Speed is 5600 to 6000 rpm. It has Roller type Hydraulic Lifters and two Pushrod overhead valves per cylinder. It has sequential Fuel Injection. It takes 60 mph speed in just 2.5 seconds. The compression ratio is 9:6:1. Unleaded gasoline and 93 octane is used as fuel. It has twin cooling radiators so that they take 11 hertz .

According to the Tomahawk Authorities, The top speed of Dodge Tomahawk is 600 kmph but after test drives, it is stated that this top speed is decreased to 300 mph ( 480 knph). No one has attempted to ride this bike at this top speed. On the other hand, The skeptical that this bike may hardly achieve nearly 200mph (300 kmph) speed as there will always be some safety problems of riders like the driver can be lifted right off the bike or problem of steering with four wheels.

So, After the Various Tests and Experiments, The Common result of all the statements by the riders was that Dodge Tomahawk can run Most Nearly to 320 Kilometer per Hour.

Dodge Tomahawk Price:

The price of Dodge Tomahawk is US$ 700,000. The Price of Super Model is 700,000 US Dollars. Dodge has Launched Nine Units of these Bikes. But due to the reason that these Bikes were not proved to meet the legal requirements to be classified as a motorcycle by the U.S. government.

The Viper-powered Dodge Tomahawk concept vehicle shatters all the barriers of conventional thinking about personal transportation. This four-wheel, single-passenger vehicle is a sleek, rolling sculpture that combines art-deco styling with engineering. The 500-horsepower Viper V-10 engine powering the dual rear wheels.

Gives this radical vehicle a potential top speed of nearly 400 miles per hour -

for anyone who wants to test it. The Tomahawk roared into public view at the

North American International Auto Show.

Initial reaction to the concept vehicle typically comes in two words: 'Wow' and 'why.' The 'wow' is to understand from Dodge, the brand that continues to drive its foot to the floor - most recently with the all-new 2003 Viper, Heavy Duty and Light Duty Rams and an SRT lineup dedicated to engineering the most powerful production vehicles in their segments. But 'why' would a company, famous for its innovative car and truck designs, go down this particular path?

Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird

A future investment can take many shapes. It can be a bike to stick in a climate controlled bag and never touch. A machine to use only on sunny days but not worry too much about the mileage or a vehicle that you can buy, use whatever the weather and not be concerned about depreciation. The wonderful Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird falls into the latter category – it is a bike that you can own, run and be fairly confident your original investment is safe.

Launched in 1996 the Blackbird was a bold move by Honda. Powered by a thumping 1137cc inline four engine, this was a bike whose sole purpose in life was to transport the rider, and pillion if required, across vast distances in total comfort while doing catastrophic speeds. Something it accomplished, in typical Honda fashion, with an incredible amount of style and sophistication. Can you really build a bike with a genuine 170mph top speed that doesn’t feel like a total hooligan? In 1996 Honda managed it.

The Blackbird marks a glorious time in motorcycling. In some ways it is a relic of a bygone age where speeding wasn’t such an evil crime, a throw back to an era where big engined monsters such as the ZZ-R1100 ruled the earth. But in other ways it highlights the errors in modern motorcycles. Its top speed may have created the headlines, but there is so much more to a Blackbird than simply going fast.

Anyone who has owned a Blackbird will tell you the level of build quality and finish on the bike is simply outstanding, which is why so many are still on the roads today. True, it has a few niggles - the cam chain tensioner is weak and the usefulness of the linked brakes is open to debate - but other than that the whole machine is incredibly robust. Owners report mileages of over 100,000 with no major mechanical issues and a few have even topped 250,000 hassle free miles. And then there is the ride.

Despite being built for speed the Blackbird is a very comfortable sports tourer, far more so than the bike that knocked it off its perch as the fastest production machine. Suzuki’s Hayabusa may have been able to hit 190mph (before it was electronically neutered to 186mph), but it did so by sacrificing comport for performance. Hop on a Blackbird and you can be 600 miles away from home before you know it, attempt something similar on a Busa and you wrists will be aching by the time you have used up your first tank of fuel.

Some riders are put off owning the Blackbird because of its reputation for speed, however this is only a very small part of its vast repertoire. The inline four engine has a vast spread of torque that makes single or two-up touring a very relaxed affair while the handling is sporty without ever threatening to get out of hand. In short, it’s just a damn fine motorcycle to ride and enjoy.

If you are looking for a used Blackbird you might be slightly surprised to see machines that are over fifteen years old still commanding prices in the region of £2500. This is actually a good thing as it shows how strong the used market is for the bike. Pay a bit more and you can get the updated 1999 fuel-injected model with a larger fuel tank, however it isn’t as economical on fuel as the carbed machine and a lot of owners search out the older bike because of this. Whichever model you plump for, any Blackbird with an MOT will fetch £2500, irrespective of mileage, so you can buy one, enjoy it for a few years, and realistically expect to get back what you paid for it. You can’t say fairer than that.

Suzuki Hayabusa

The Suzuki Hayabusa is quite simply the Ultimate Sportbike. Twist the throttle and it responds with awesome acceleration and crisp throttle response in every gear with an unbelievable top-end charge. Thanks to a lightweight and rigid twin-spar aluminum frame and state-of-the-art suspension, that performance is matched by equally impressive handling, providing exceptional control in tight corners, reassuring stability in sweeping turns and a smooth ride on the highway. The sleek, aerodynamic body work functions as it appears so the Hayabusa slips through the wind like a Peregrine Falcon.

If you're a big film buff, then you'll remember the Hayabusa making its debut in Dhoom and has been one of the most popular bikes in India. This is Suzuki's flagship bike and is massive in terms of dimensions. The twin headlamps on the Hayabusa are vertically stacked and this is how you instantly recognize that it's the big bike. The motorcycle features a new ABS system and Brembo Monobloc front brake calipers. Up front, there are four analog meters for speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature with an S-DMS mode indicator, gear position indicator and an adjustable engine-rpm indicator. Suzuki's Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) system helps to choose between one of three engine control maps. Powering the beast is a four-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC 1300cc engine that churns out 197bhp.

Hayabusa came into existence long back and ever since it has been a constant favourite among bike enthusiasts. The flag bearer from Suzuki motorcycles was introduced in India sometime towards the end of 2007 and has been receiving regular upgrades in alignment with rivals as well as the global model. Dimensionally, the bike measures 2190mm long, 735mm wide and 1165mm high. Wheelbase and ground clearance stand at 1480mm and 120mm respectively, whereas the seat height is around 805mm. Weighing heavy, Hayabusa has a curb mass of 266kg which rests on 120/70ZR17M/C front and 190/50ZR17M/C rear tyres. For power generation, Suzuki has employed a four-stroke, 4 cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC powertrain displacing 1340cc. The high capacity engine is good for pinnacle power

With the release of Bollywood blockbuster movie “Dhoom”, the amazing Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa amazed the youths of the country with its glamour quite well. This bike became a craze among the buyers who want to buy a high-end sports bike. It is propelled by a 1340cc, four-stroke, four-cylinder motor that pumps out a maximum power of 197 bhp at 9500 rpm along with a peak torque of 155 Nm at 7200 rpm. The engine of the bike comes mated to a six-speed constant mesh gearbox which helps the bike to achieve a top speed of 299 kmph.

Suzuki Hayabusa moves on a 120/70-ZR17 front and 190/50-ZR17 rear tubeless tyres with black alloys wheels. The fierce stopping power is provided by a 320mm dual discs at the front incorporated with high-quality Brembo piston callipers and a single 240mm disc brake at the rear. Furthermore, it is equipped with a suspension system which consists of inverted telescopic forks at the front and spring loaded hydraulic monoshock at the rear. The Japanese Manufacturer has crafted it very artistically enhancing the aesthetic value of bike and placed it among the most prudent bikes in the world. The front section of the bike has a styled headlamp incorporated with an attractive projector light and stylish clear lens turn blinkers.

since the price drop of Rs 2.5 lakh due to CKD operations, Suzuki has achieved strong growth in sales with a waiting period of almost 3 months

The Suzuki Hayabusa is one of the most popular superbikes in India mainly due to the fan following it received in the Bollywood movie ‘Dhoom’. The superbike has been on sale in India for quite some time now and is surprisingly racking up good sales figures as well. To top it off, buyers are experiencing a waiting period of close to three months for the superbike. Read on to find out why it is so. Since its official launch in the country, the Hayabusa was brought to India as a CBU model which contributed to high import duty. The bike, back then, carried a sticker price of Rs 15.95 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi). However, last month, the company launched the 2017 model in the country with a price tag that was Rs 2.5 lakh less. This was achieved by shifting to CKD operations of the Hayabusa, which is now priced at Rs 13.88 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi). Speaking on the progress of the Hayabusa, Kenji Hirozawa, VP of strategic planning, SIMPL, said: “We are ensuring high levels of quality with the same tests for fit and finish as we do in Japan. Other bikes also have similar quality levels and we are exporting them to other countries as well. For

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R

september 23, 2005 For several years now, the 178bhp Kawasaki ZX12 has had the most horsepower of any production motorcycle, though it has played second fiddle to the 175 bhp Suzuki GSX1300 Hayabusa (named after the Japanese Peregrine falcon, one of the few animals on the planet which can travel at 300km per hour which it does during a dive) because the Hayabusa has a higher top speed – the Suzuki’s aerodynamics enable it to more than make up for the slight horsepower deficit and it has now held the title of the world’s fastest production motorcycle for six years since it launched. The Hayabusa’s top speed as measured by the Guiness Book of Records is 317 km/h. But Kawasaki’s just announced ZX14 company flagship boasts 1400cc, much slipperier aerodynamics and the most horsepower and highest top speed of any production motorcycle EVER! The publicity conscious Kawasaki is keeping mum on the exact figures but the rumours emanating from Japan indicate we are just about to see the world’s first 200bhp production motorcycle.

A manufacturer is defined by the motorcycles it makes, and the defining characteristic of Kawasaki motorcycles has always been power - lots of power. It became the horsepower king waaay back when it released the H1 500cc three cylinder two-stroke triple in the late sixties, and built on that reputation with the 750cc H2 three cylinder two-stroke triple and finally the Z1 900cc four cylinder machine and the family of big four cylinder four-strokes that bike spawned – the Z1000, Z1-R, GPZ900R and all the way through to the modern hyper-bikes like the ZZ-R1100 and Ninja ZX-12R, Kawasaki’s flagship machines have set performance standards.

There’s absolutely no doubt that Kawasaki has been getting ready to take on the Hayabusa for several years – the ZX12 was expected to be a Hayabusa-beater and despite its ram air induction system inflating real horsepower from 178 at low speed to 190 at high speed (the forced air induction acts has the same effect as a supercharger), its aerodynamics let it down. But the ZX14 has obviously spent a lot of time in the wind tunnel as Kawasaki prides itself on the performance factor and it wanted to be the fastest of the bunch again. And there is absolutely no doubt that despite the big K’s coyness, the new Ninja ZX-14will be the most powerful and the fastest ever and continue the tradition by delivering as-yet-unheard-of levels of performance and excitement. Its aerodynamics reminds users that Kawasaki is indeed an aircraft manufacturer.

Kawasaki engineers and designers have created a motorcycle that turns its Ram Air and fuel-injected engine into the core of a powerful, torque-producing, aerodynamic stunner that will draw attention from onlookers whether on the road, or parked on the roadside. The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 is a 1352cc motorcycle, that is its most powerful ever, and succeeds in setting the performance standards for others to follow.

This is all new in-line four has evolved from the Ninja ZX-12R and features a bore and stroke of 84 x 61mm packed into a purposefully designed compact outline that minimizes engine width, leaving it at virtually the same width as the 12R.

A twist of the throttle delivers a seamless spread of torque that is so linear, the "power band," per se, ceases to exist. Riders will pay particular attention to the impressive response that kicks in once the motor exceeds 6,000 rpm. Those that have ridden this newest Kawasaki flagship marvel at the torque response that makes pulling away from a total stop in almost any gear a possibility.

The engine uses a secondary balancer to tame unwanted vibrations, and a direct-actuation shift lever is lighter than conventional linkage-type set-ups, offering a more direct feel for the rider.

The ZX-14's chassis design is every bit the equal of its power plant. It is an advanced version of Kawasaki's unique aluminum monocoque frame, lightweight and very strong. This sophisticated approach gives the ZX-14 a responsive handling quality and incredible highway stability. By utilizing this frame technology, engineers were able to concentrate on delivering, as mentioned, a very slim, compact package. Inherently more rigid than twin-spar frames, and with the engine rigid-mounted, the monocoque's strength is greatly increased.

With the engine positioned forward in the frame, engineers were able to carefully select the wheelbase and front/rear wheel weight balance to achieve both high speed stability and responsive handling. The ZX-14 uses an inverted 43mm cartridge fork and new Uni-Trak linkage rear suspension to complement the highly rigid frame, thus offering both great controllability at high speeds and superb road holding when sport riding on twisting hill roads.

Does this ultimate combination of engine performance and chassis design make the Kawasaki ZX-14 rider-friendly?

The engineers and designers sought to combine the utmost elements of today's motorcycle technologies, yet still provide a package that is both approachable-and usable. The ZX-14 delivers seamless power, a smooth ride, and friendly ergonomics. Together, these characteristics are manifested in a ride that is surprisingly non-intimidating, yet still maintains the heart of the rebel so much a part of Kawasaki's brand heritage.

Offering a very relaxed sport riding position, it is compact without being cramped, and the bars are positioned so riders don't have to stretch to reach them. The narrow engine, monocoque frame, and fuel tank make it easy for the rider to keep his knees close together in any riding conditions. Footpegs are low-set to give ample legroom and the low seat height and narrow seat front make planting feet on the ground when stopped a cinch.

And when the rider is stopped, the motorcycle will be the center of attention. Because the monocoque frame goes over the engine and doesn't protrude through the fairing, the fairing design lines are uninterrupted, giving it a smooth, flowing appearance, from front to rear. Quadruple projector beam headlights adorn the ZX-14's front cowl, with the outer lights containing position lamps and high beams. Low beams are located in the two center lamps. The front and rear turn signals are integrated into the fairing and rear cowl, and the all new LED tail lamp features a unique "V" design.

Other key features of the Kawasaki ZX-14:

- Instrument cluster with easy-to-read, white-faced dual analogue speedometer and tachometer. - Shift indicator light and clutch engagement light. - Multi-function LCD digital display includes fuel gauge, gear indicator, dual trip meters, odometer, and clock. - Large diameter petal brake discs, radial mount front calipers and a radial pump brake master cylinder for impressive braking performance and superb feel. - Hydraulically operated clutch features a radial mount clutch master cylinder for worry-free, silky smooth clutch operation. - Fuel tank features a flush-surface tank cap. - Idling speed control system contributes to easy starting capability. - Lightweight Denso radiator with high-density cores provides efficient cooling. - Massive head pipe casting contributes to frame rigidity. - Airbox located in the frame, contributing to a very compact layout. - Engine and chassis components designed to maximize mass centralization. - Newly designed wheels feature center ribs which are slightly offset so that tire balance weights can be located at the wheel centerline.

All told, Kawasaki has once again brought its engineering and design expertise to the forefront of motorcycle creation. The Ninja ZX-14 lives up to its predecessors, and far surpasses them, as the meaning of the word "ultimate" has found a new definition, at least as far as roadgoing motorcycles go.
