For some motorists this kind oftransport, like a motorcycle, is unacceptable, as it often hinders on the road. Some people think that a motorcycle does not even belong to the form of transport. But modern high-speed bikes can give odds to almost any sports car.
In the early 2000s, each companyThe production of motorcycles tried to invent a unique bike, which would be the fastest of all models. The pace grew very quickly, and some motor companies, which used to cooperate, became rivals, because of what began the struggle for the nomination "The fastest motorcycle."
Global problem
After a while on the roads appearedmotorcycles that reached incredible speeds, and because of this they were very difficult to manage. The number of accidents increased every day, and it was necessary to solve this problem. It is in this regard, many well-known brands of motorcycles gathered at one table in order to solve this problem and set the maximum permissible speed of the motorcycle.
Until then, on the roads,incredible speed - more than 450 km / h. In order to minimize accidents and to reduce the maximum number of dead motorcyclists, bike manufacturers decided to install a speed limiter on each model at 300 km / h. Even today, each motorcycle is equipped with a special electronic speed limiter, which at a mark of more than 300 km / h will block engine speed. But in 2013, the company Dodge released a really powerful "beast", which is considered the fastest motorcycle in the world. Now we will talk more about it.
Dodge Tomahawk
This motorcycle is unique not only its ownmaximum speed, but also unique design. The length of the Dodge Tomahawk is about two meters, the width is over 65 centimeters, and the height is one meter. Also this motorcycle has not two wheels, like all the others, but four. All of them are doubled and are located a couple of centimeters apart. The eight-liter 500 horsepower engine speeds up to 500 km / h.
Options
The engine was developed by Dodge.They not only were able to invent a unique in its power engine, but also install it on a motorcycle. Ten-cylinder engine of 8.2 liters has a limiting power of 500 l / s. It is the most powerful engine in the world that has been installed on a motorcycle.
Demonstration of the revolutionary Dodge Tomahawk,The one in Detroit surprised everybody with its maximum speed. For 2.5 seconds, this "beast" was dispersed to hundreds of kilometers, and according to its designers, the maximum speed that it can develop is 640 km / h.
Specifications
The fastest motorcycle in the world is notserial. If you take into account that Dodge Tomahawk is assembled only manually, then in the world there is only one dozen such models. Only high-quality metals such as titanium, carbon and aluminum are used in the manufacture of the case.
If we talk about dry statistics, then the presented motorcycle has the following characteristics:
- The volume of the engine is 8.2 liters;
- power - 500 l / s;
- KP - mechanical two-stage;
- a tank of 13 liters.
Each pair of twin wheels is mounted on an independent suspension. Thanks to this Dodge Tomahawk can smoothly gain maximum speed and confidently keep on the road.
Interesting fact:this motorcycle is not intended for driving. Although this "beast" can fully move along the road, and even with incredible speed, the designers created it as a sculpture or monument.

Of course, in addition to the presented motorcycle, there are others that can impress with their high-speed characteristics.
- Bimota YB6.This motorcycle was created with the help of two manufacturers: Yamaha and Bimota.
