Personally I would rather be dragged naked through a field of nettles than ride that.

These are more interesting.

that tomahawk is the gayest bike there is ....

that hydrogen power thing is a good idea too, their doing it on cars too

[Trojan]

Dude, that Tomahawk would look good in my garage. I think it's bad ass.

My sentiments exactly.

I'll say it right now, screw pollution. If I want to ride a gas powered bike, I'm going to. It makes me mad that they took away the 2-strokers.

All hail rumbly, loud, gas powered bikes!

EDIT: And there's nothing I'd rather ride more than that Tomahawk. Think what you will...

[atholon]

Ohh that top one looks like crap.

Wonder what the top speed is.

[EL_BASTARDO]

lmao, well if they want to try & encourage people to convert to hydro-power thne they'd better rethink their design strategy lol

[SilentTrigger]

The tomahawk is great if you want to go forward the whole time, if not then its just pointless.

The first posted bike is real ugly!

This one on the other hand: http://ghostridermovie.net/images/r1000carbon_1.jpg *drools*

You can win it at that site if I remember it right.

(Note below is an engine that has nothing to do with the above bike!)

Hear and see this laidy performing (the engine)

http://www.mc-xpress.com/movies/hayabusa274.mpg

130 HP Hayabusa modified to top 685 hp at around 10200 rpms.

They are now up at around 750 HP without breaking the engine. They are pushing it.

They are doing this to push the record higher and higher, its their selling point. And yeah if you need a turbo for your motorcycle, get in tuch with them

[atholon]

Does that one take hydrogen power?

I wanted to work on developing hydrogen powered things.

[SilentTrigger]

It uses a turbo. Thats it, besides strenhening the engine it self to hold.

[EL_BASTARDO]

sheeesh, nice bit of kit..

[BADDOG]

Seems to have got a fair amount of negative feedback. I guess that design and development will improve as hydrogen powered motorcycles become more common.

[SilentTrigger]

And hopefully the design will be more like todays motorcycles, that one looks terrible!

They should look like that carbon fiber gixxer!

[Dr. Bullet]

Yes, but there's only one true GSXR

[atholon]

I wonder what HP is compaired to a gas engine.

It is using fuel cells right?

[BADDOG]

Yep it uses fuel cells but from what I've seen of teh responces here I don't think it will catch on lol!!!!

Warm Regards

[~MOUSE~]

Probably as successful as this.

[atholon]

lol that is sad...

fuel cells would make sense since they just supply electricity as opposed to an internal cumbustion type...

I honestly think fuel cells are not the way to go for cars since they are soooooooooooo expensive to repair.
