I'm guessing that we're talking 'production' bikes??

There's a chap over here that has built a bike around a Dodge Viper engine!!!

It comes to my local bike meet and appears to handle surprisingly well!!!

No it's parked next to Wonder Woman's invisible plane. You can't see it?

Me thinks this one's a little bigger.

Compared to what - a bulldozer???:D It does look like it has a low centre of gravity, but it doesn't look like it would take much to be scraping that exhaust along the black top... Probably does allright down the 1/4 mile, but not what i'd call a 'track day' bike for somewhere like Phillip Island...

I love the concept though - there are many who have done a V8, that is the first V10 I have seen.:) Looks like some good engineering - single sided swing arm and all.

Dayum, and I thought the first of the new "trumpies" was ugly.

Do kinda like the Viper powered bike though.

Hey, it's not all about ragging the nuts off something on a track-day. Just look at thing like Choppers, Hogs, etc... or even off-road bikes.

Anyway, yes... There is some fine engineering on that bike. I keep forgetting to ask him about how far he manages to go on one tank of fuel!
