Post 500HP Viper Motorcycle
Just saw a video of this on the MSN home page at the Detroit auto show. Top speed over 300MPH!!!! They talked about a limited production run. Also said it was "carved" out of ONE BIG PIECE of billet aluminum!!!!

Not that it really makes a big freakin difference. I have never understood excess, but I think I am beginning to see the light.

EDIT: on one page it says 300, and the other 400. Once again, not that it matters.

That's one of the goofiest things I've seen in a while. Hard to believe it will make it to production.

I agree how would you turn that thing? The article says that it has 4 wheel independent suspension (4 wheels would make it an open car not a motorcycle). Just do not drop the bike, I bet that v10 would be heavy to pickup.
