This morning, a weblog post indicated Chrysler had approved production of the Dodge Tomahawk motorcycle — a concept vehicle that was previewed almost two years ago as a design study at the Detroit auto show. While many enthusiasts would surely love to see the Viper-powered bike produced, it’s unlikely the Tomahawk will ever be anything more than a concept. “There has been no decision to produce the Dodge Tomahawk,” Chrysler design spokesman Sam Locricchio told Leftlane. “The vehicle remains a design exercise to underscore — in an extreme fashion — the performance elements that make up the Dodge brand,” Mr. Locricchio said. “[The Tomahawk is] purely a concept to date.” Upon further research, it seems the weblog that started the Tomahawk rumor was citing outdated information from shortly after the concept’s debut.

You seem a little overly cautious NOT to mention Edmunds as the original source of todays rumor.
People everywhere were scratching their heads that they could make a business case for this and not for the Gladiator.
It has even been suggested that ‘Tomahawk’ may be the production name for the ‘Firepower!’
Gotta love the internet, where the only thing that spreads faster than information is misinformation.

Weather they build it or not, this thing rocks. Just as well, the dead body count on the public roads would probably take quite a jump if it were priced at anything close to affordable.
But I’d still like to take it for a run!

Go fetch us some fresh news then, Hal.
This thing would’ve been perfect. The fastest bike on the planet, powered by an amazing engine…what more could you ask for?

I love the look of it and the whole idea of designing something because you can and want to rather than because it’s practical, but I don’t know any bikers who’d actually want to ride it more than just the once for the experience. Too many wheels, you see?
I think that you can make a much better case for buying a Boss Hoss if you want a ridicuously powerful and oversized car engined bike.

The Tomahawk would be stupid and reckless to produce. I’m not worried about the idiot who buys it, but people like me who the idiot will slam into doing some insane speed. Doesn’t the thing in theory do 300? You shouldn’t ever give the general public something like that. I see to many idiots with Vipers that can’t handel them, God help us if there is a Viper bike out there.

That Bike showed that somewhere in the closets of American automakers lie people who are still ALIVE!! PLEASE PLEASE find those people and let them design every single car that DCX makes! That may seem a bit too radical but probably couldn’t do them any harm…

it’s not the designers that are the problem. the us has some of the worlds best design take a look at apple. detroit gives us stunnning concepts (especailly chrysler) but the production cars don’t realise these dreams. the edge that american car makers have against the japanese is stunning car design. this is why the chrysler 300 is doing so well. let the japanese do thier boring camrys and accords, and let america go back to making stylish, expressive, emotional cars, like they used to

Lucifer, I disagree. The exciting cars from the japs never made it to US as they figured Americans buy their stuff the way they are anyway. The ones that did are downgraded defaced versions of what they have there. Just check out the overseas Odyssey…

What is that 80/20 rule again? 80% of the victims will be hit by the 20% of customers in the market that can afford it?
Or was it 80% of the people who will potentially buy and ride this thing only carry 20% of the brain cells necssary to drive it properly…
