So power to weight ratio is about 1/1?

There was a reason the tomahawk never made it past a prototype

triving position makes it look like you are humping the bike. Some may want to do just that but the vibratioin on long trips would lead to numbness and I am not intereted in numbness THERE.

Example of doing something just because you can.
The whole point of motorcycles (to me anyway) is agility and acceleration, that bike would fulfill only one of those.

Most cruisers fulfill neither.

Andy Millyard, the guy who built that thing, has a pretty impressive resume of motorcycle specials. He started out cutting and pasting Kawasaki triples into 4, 5 and 6 cylinder engines, and then built a V8 using two Kawasaki Z-1 engines and I believe a V-12 out of two KZ1300 engines. He even built a V-twin Honda minitrail.

The Tomahawk isn't a motorbike. It has four wheels and weights 1500 lbs.

How would you control it, having to stretch like that to reach the handgrips? I'm just comparing it to riding a horse, I'd feel like I had the saddle on its rump. Not a confident position. Sounded great when it fired up.
