Dodge tomahawk the world's fastest motorcycle

The Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine with four wheels beneath it. The engine breathes through twin throttle bodies mounted right up front (the two round things above the front tires are). While the Tomahawk has the same number of tires as a car, it keeps the motorcycle form factor otherwise. This is no sedan...

Chrysler sold nine replicas through Neiman Marcus, for $555,000 each. The motorcycles cannot be driven on public roads. A spokesman told Reuters they were meant as rolling sculptures, presumably to avoid legal liability. They are driveable - just not (legally) on public roads.

The rear wheel drive machine uses monocoque construction; the engine is a stressed member. The body is made of billet aluminum.

The Tomahawk concept is an awesome-sounding machine; we saw it started and revved. Clouds of blue smoke vied for attention with the throaty rumble of the mighty V-10, and hitting the gas visibly opened the twin throttle body blades up front where the headlight would normally be. Though deeper and more rumbling than most motorcycles, it did not seem to be louder overall - just deeper, with no shrill overtones.

Wolfgang Bernhard, Chrysler's first mate at the time, was said to be enthusiastic about that project, so much so that hundreds were projected to be built at under $200,000 each (probably below breakeven). They reportedly cost Chrysler over $100,000 to build (the work is outsourced), not including engineering costs. 

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.

The Tomahawk remains on display at auto shows - well out of reach of the general public.

Memanfaatkan Stroke Tinggi Supra X 125

Berbicara tentang keiritan roda dua dalam soal bahan bakar sepertinya pabrikan Honda memang masih mempunyai nama, kesan tersebut seperti sudah terpatri dalam benak masyarakat umum. Seperti halnya keunggulan dari salah satu generasi motor Supra X 125, ternyata juga memiliki kelebihan dalam soal langkah mesin atau biasa dikenal dengan stroke. Senada dengan hal ini, mantan pebalap Road Race Tingkat Nasional, Ahmad Jayadi, mengakui hal tersebut dan menyatakan, "Supra X 125 ditinjau dari sisi mesin dan balap road race menurut saya merupakan motor sempurna karena secara stroke dia memiliki langkah paling besar", ujarnya saat ditemui di bengkel miliknya, kawasan Pondok Gede.

Para penggila motor dengan performa maksimal pasti akrab dengan istilah ini, stroke lazim dilakukan oleh para mekanik guna meningkatkan laju kendaraan. Supra X 125 memiliki mesin dengan stroke standar pabrikan berkisar 57,9. Angka ini sebenarnya merupakan salah satu nilai lebih, jika Anda ingin membangun motor agar lebih maksimal. Stroke dipercaya mampu meningkatkan kapasitas silinder mesin dan juga mampu mendukung tenaga besar pada putaran bawah mesin 4 Tak. Maka itulah tren stroke mesin sampai kini tidak pernah ditinggalkan.

Berkaitan dengan hal itu dalam dunia balap Road Race yang notabene memiliki aturan baku dalam hal ini, tentu Supra X 125 menjadi layak untuk diperhitungkan dalam jajaran motor-motor bebek racing dikelasnya. Kiprah Ahmad Jayadi ditahun kedua dengan Honda membuat ia banyak bercerita tentang motor yang satu ini. Ia menuturkan ada beberapa hal penting selain faktor stroke tersebut untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mesin. Beberapa hal yang wajib dipertimbangkan dalam upaya mendongkrak tenaga Supra X 125 Road Race yakni batas maksimal isi silinder hanya 130, karburator maksimal 28, dan lain sebagainya.

Mantan pebalap ternama ini berbagi tips ringan untuk meningkatkan performa Supra X 125 dalam dunia Road Race. Untuk klep umumnya memakai ukuran 28 mengingat lubang klep Supra X 125 tergolong kecil sehingga ukuran 28 dianggap cukup safety. Piston sudah tersedia aftermarket yakni Izumi dan sejauh ini masih cukup mendukung. Kemudian perangkat selanjutnya magnit racing OYZ juga berpengaruh terhadap kinerja mesin. Sementara itu untuk pengabutan bahan bakar rasanya karburator Keihin PE milik Honda NSR masih menjadi favorit pebalap yang sebelumnya bernaung dibawah pabrikan Suzuki ini.

Pesan lainnya, "komponen kopling juga penting, ubah sistem manual dengan per keras dan kampas berkualitas seperti Kevlar juga dianggap penting untuk dipertimbangkan. Meskipun banyak tersedia part racing aftermarket, tetapi seni dan skill seorang mekanik tetap harus diuji saat mengerjakan komponen gearbox dan juga rasio", demikian tegas Ahmad Jayadi.[nus/timBX]
