Most Expensive Motorcycle

Dodge Tomahawk is the most expensive motorcycle in the world. It can cost upto $555.000 each.


The Dodge Tomahawk is a concept motorcycle produced by Dodge. Featuring the 500 hp 8.3 L V10 engine from the Dodge Viper. The motorcycle has two front wheels and two rear wheels to aid in turning and stability at highest rate of speed. While the Tomahawk is not street legal, it could, theoretically, be ridden. Chrysler sold nine replicas through Neiman Marcus (Neiman Marcus is an upscale, specialty retail department store, operated by the Neiman Marcus Group in the United States), for up to $555,000 each.



The motorcycles cannot be legally driven on public roads. A Chrysler spokesman told Reuters they were meant as rolling sculptures - but they can probably still be driven on private roads. The Dodge Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of nearly 400 mph. Each pair of wheels is separated by a few inches and each wheel has an independent suspension. Bernhard said four wheels were necessary to handle the power from the engine.
