Squeeze a massive 8.2 litre supercharged V8 monster truck engine with as much power as a Bugatti Veyron into a motorcycle and you have the Rapom V8.... The Rapom V8 1000 bhp motorcycle - gizmag Article

this is madness, imagine this besides our rx100

1000 bhp in a car is obscene!
1000 bhp in a bike is AMERICAN!!!

All they like is BIG numbers!!

This gives our cars serious inferiority complex

nitroxx · 4th March 2007, 04:08

I'd second that Nitrous old bud' I mean take a dodge viper with that 500bhp figure and take a Nissan Skyline done perfectly or for that matter a honda NSX onto the strip and voila,Americano?Un Un..

Yup...Rapom is actually Mopar spelt backwards...the latter being the performance company for Dodge & Chrysler.

Thiis bike produces upto 1200 hp and is completely road legal.

Heat? Wouldnt sitting on this bike while it is running, be hot as *hell* ? To compare, a mere Maruti 800's bonnet feels plenty hot after an extended drive.

hemi · 4th March 2007, 12:34

what's the top speed of this bike?hope its does atleast 400kmph.

iraghava · 4th March 2007, 12:41

Did anybody mention this bike?

Vid6639 · 4th March 2007, 13:25

I wouldn't want to be riding those bikes. as mentioned heat and several factors may render someone incapable of certain activities.

pawan · 4th March 2007, 16:37

hey iraghava thats the pic of a dodge tomahawk love to see a drag between the two.

gonecase_01 · 4th March 2007, 16:40

i really doubt what would that old fella do if by chance it falls down......
will definitely need a fork lift or a mobile crane.....

No offenses to anyone...

It would take a real jerk to drop the Tomahawk.

And secondly, The Rapom V8 produces at least 700 horses more than the Tomy...Guess we all know the result of a drag then?

If it's able to put all the horses to the wheel; If the the tyres dont shred or burst; If the rider doesnt has his b4lls boiled off;
Frankly, I think it's just a "Why not" kinda project; not really meant to run anywhere.
