Triumph RocketIII is a pig, but it's fast - especially w/ a turbocharger!

The AMA record for Top Fuel Is held by a Kawasaki at 245.36mph

...

Pretty much every bike over 150cc is Fast. Unless you think 80mph is slow.

that dodge tomahawk is rumored to have 500hp and is only a concept bike for now.

modified 550 hp busas are being raced in drag racing.

and like said, there was a 700hp busa dyno test vid somewhere in the net.

Dodge Tomahawk has 4 wheels and cannot turn by itself.

It's a big model, nothing more.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
