These Bikes (Tomahawk and Boss Hog) are pointless!!! If we pick all motorcycles brands including maxi scooters to race the oldest motorcycle race in the world the TT or Isle on Man race what position they get at the end? When you build something with so much HP is because you intended to race it even if its a chopper. I love motorcycles, please leave making motorcycles to the engineers who know what are they doing not these jerks who have done these travesti hahahaha.

the tomahawk is not a bike. it has 4 wheels. period. And it's so damn heavy that many 1000cc bikes will out accelerate it. And it wont go 300mph. in theory it might go 200+. A 350 chevy can easily put out 500+Hp. Power to weight ratio is what matters, not Hp. The road dog had about 100hp and at 3000 lbs would do 60 in about 18 seconds, like a VW bug......
