Homebuilt 500hp V10 Motorcycle

It takes a serious modder to look at his motorcycle and think “I could put a Viper motor in there.” This thing is truly badass and totally street legal. This bike seriously reminds me of the old Dodge Tomahawk concept bike.

Crotch Rocket has a whole different meaning now. And it is street legal!

I wonder how he's got it geared, I know the Dodge Tomahawk had a theoretical top speed of nearly 400 mph.

VERY well done.

Pretty awesome. I'd love to see him try and pull the throttle a bit. I can cruise that fast on a scooter.. lets see some speed

This.

The concept is somewhat cool but totally impractical. It would be like dropping off your kids at school in a 4 second funny car.

Impractical yes, insane yes... but it's still cool =) I've helped build at least three turbo 'busa's and they put down over 400hp when all said and done... this bike is just as insane

its a show bike. he can barely even ride that thing... and god forbid you tip it over- even with the leathers he was wearing that exhaust is all over his legs

it must be geared very high though, you hear it when hes taking off... i would imagine in a normal 1st gear ratio that motor wouldnt even bog at idle.

Yeah, I was looking for him to mash the throttle a bit and see what happens.....

I work on Vipers daily, and you can hardly keep them going in a straight line in 1st and 2nd gear if your on the gas hard......I would imagine that bike would be pretty uncontrollable under hard throttle....

very cool to look at but quite worthless as a ridng bike.

i imagine if he even revved it quickly in neutral he wouldn't be able to keep it from falling over. Think of how an engine pulls up one side of a car.

The torque is so huge it looks like it pulls the guy to the side when he first starts it. This reminds me of the guy that was building the harleys with chevy big blocks in them durring the 80s and 90s. Unfortunatly they were crappy because they were so heavy and there was no room for a transmission, just a clutch.

I drove a Triumph Rocket 3 one time and it was way too heavy so I imagine this thing handles like a boat. The Rocket 3 is 2.3L and the one I drove was modded and even at a weight of almost 2000LBS it could pull the front tire off the ground a couple inches in first.

That radiator looks woefully small to deal with a motor that size? Am I right?

Just because someone mods something does not mean it needs to be practical. +1 Fail for all the haters.

It's cool, but I must agree that it seemed quite bad to ride.
