Dodge Tomahawk
| Model name | Dodge Tomahawk |
|---|---|
| Release date | 2003 |
| Engine | 6980 cc naturally aspirated 144-degree DOHC V10 engine |
| Top speed | 420 mph (rated) |
The Dodge Tomahawk is a sports motorcycle launched in 2003 by Dodge, a brand of the American Chrysler Automobile Company. This is a domineering motorcycle with a super powerful engine. The Dodge Tomahawk is equipped with a 500-horsepower V10 engine from the Dodge Viper. It is equipped with 10 cylinders, each cylinder has 2 valves, a displacement of 8277 cc, and a maximum horsepower of 507 HP.
It adopts a four-wheel design, equipped with two wheels at the front and rear, and is equipped with an independent suspension system. When turning, the special suspension system allows all the four wheels to touch the ground. The Dodge Tomahawk uses rear-wheel drive. It only takes 2.5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour, and the top speed can reach 676 kilometers per hour, and the Mach number is around 0.55.
Dodge Tomahawk uses leather seat material and single seat. The body length is 2590 mm, the width is 703 mm, the height is 937 mm, the seat height is 736 mm, the weight is 680 kg, and the fuel tank capacity is 7 liters.
However, this motorcycle is not allowed on the road, mainly because the it has a top speed of 676 kilometers per hour. The flight speed is faster than that of ordinary civil aviation aircraft, and the safety risks are great. Although it is not allowed on the road, many collectors are still competing to grab it since the speed of 2.5 seconds per 100 kilometers is unrivaled.

Lazareth LM847
| Model name | Lazareth LM847 |
|---|---|
| Release date | 2016 |
| Engine | 4.7-liter Maserati V8 engine |
| Top speed | 150km/h |
Lazareth, a French custom car/motorcycle manufacturer with a long history, released a 470-horsepower Lazareth LM847. The motorcycle has fierce styling and powerful performance. It is equipped with a V8 engine from the Italian sports car brand Maserati.
The company Chrysler mentioned above was the parent company of Maserati, so the LM847 is very similar to the Dodge Tomahawk, and it’s also said that the Lazareth LM847 is successor of the Tomahawk. But the LM847 is actually not as powerful as the Tomahawk motorcycle.
As one of the top 5 biggest motorcycle in the world, the biggest feature of this motorcycle is that it uses Maserati’s 4.7L V8 engine. Because this engine is too large, this motorcycle looks like a large mobile engine. This motorcycle was first unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, and it aroused huge exclamation from motorcycle enthusiasts upon its debut.
LM847 is equipped with Maserati’s 4.7-liter V-8-cylinder engine, with a maximum horsepower of 470 HP (7000 rpm) and a peak torque of 620 Nm (4750 rpm). The car weighs 400kg, and its length, width and height are 2650mm, 900mm and 1000mm respectively.
In addition, the LM847 is equipped with Michelin tires, the front brake uses Nissin’s 420mm dual disc 8-piston caliper, and the rear brake uses Brembo’s 255mm dual disc 4-piston caliper. Although the performance of this motorcycle is very powerful, it should be a big challenge for the driver to control this amazingly fast model.
Compared to the LM847, the flying motorcycle produced by Lazareth Auto Moto is more eye-catching. In appearance, it looks very much like a derivative of the Lazareth LM-847. It’s a tilting four-wheeler powered by a fire-breathing 470-horsepower Maserati engine.
However, in order to “fly”, the Moto Volante installed a 96,000-rpm JetCat jet turbine and hydraulic actuator in the middle of each wheel hub, forming a configuration similar to a jet-powered quadcopter. To carry more weight, two additional jets were installed in the middle of the motorcycle. The vehicle weighs only 140 kilograms (308 pounds) and can produce 240 kilograms (529 pounds) of thrust in flight mode.
Lazareth said that the flying motorcycle can also be ridden normally on the road, or transported to a suitable airborne area by other vehicles. The transformation from motorcycle to airplane mode can be completed at the push of a button.
The motorcycle, although still in its early stages, has already passed testing. However, for safety reasons, they still controlled the height to 1 meter (3.3 feet) and hung a safety rope. The Lazareth team will bring the Moto Volante to Gitex in Dubai, with a pre-order price of 496,000 euros (approximately US$560,000). Moto Volante (flying motorcycle) will be the team’s most ambitious project in the future.
Aston Martin AMB 001
| Model name | Aston Martin AMB 001 |
|---|---|
| Release date | Announced in the latter half of 2022 |
| Engine | 997cc, V-twin, liquid-cooled |
This is the AMB 001 limited edition motorcycle created by Aston Martin and Brough Superior (motor vehicle brand). This limited-edition work of art with an advanced appearance design and limited to racing on the track may be displayed by many collectors throughout their lives. Limited to just 100 units worldwide, it represents the marriage of iconic Aston Martin design and state-of-the-art Brough Superior engineering to create a piece of automotive art for motorcycle connoisseurs.
The price of this motorcycle is as high as 108,000 euros (about US$118,000). The car is powered by a 997cc V-type water-cooled twin-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 138HP. The entire vehicle uses a large amount of carbon fiber, titanium alloy and forged aluminum alloy, so although it is one of the top 5 biggest motorcycle in the world, it weighs only 185kg.
The engine cover is machined from solid billet metal. The leather seats are handcrafted in the same way as luxury car interiors, using premium leather and stitching to match the handcrafted handlebar grips. Paired with the Aston Martin Wings logo, it is made from laser-cut thin sheet metal and contained within layers of paint.
MTT Y2k
| Model name | MTT Y2k |
|---|---|
| Release date | 2008 |
| Engine | Rolls Royce-Allison gas turbine engine |
| Top speed | 250 MPH |
| Product homepage | www.marineturbine.com/motorcycles |
The Y2K, known as the land “jet”, was built by the American MTT company. The engine is a Rolls-Roce Allison250, which is also the engine of Bell Helicopter. It uses oil residue as fuel, making the fuel more efficient. But the fuel consumption is high that 32 liters (85 gallons) can only be used for 20 minutes of running. And it has a maximum speed of more than 402km/h.
The 2008 Y2K has a maximum speed of more than 402km/h, but it complies with the traffic regulations of most countries in Europe and the United States, and can be driven on the road; more importantly, the Y2K is not a transportation tool, and most people do not have the ability to ride it. Only those top riders who already have experience in superbike racing can fully enjoy the fun brought by Y2K after proper technical training.
As soon as the engine is started, a powerful exhaust sound immediately pours out of the exhaust pipe, and surging power spurts out. It is worth mentioning that the dry mass of the Y2K motorcycle is as high as 226.8kg, but the power heart of it is the engine directly used to propel Bell helicopters. When a Bell helicopter carries 6 fully armed soldiers, its mass weight can exceed 2268kg, while the mass of the Y2K is only 1/10 of the Bell helicopter, so you can imagine that the power of the Y2K is amazing.
It can burst out a powerful torque of 575.8Nm at 2000r/min, and it can release an astonishing power of 238.6kW at 5200r/min, and the engine mass is only 60.75kg.

| Model name | LD1800ZD |
|---|---|
| Release date | 2000 |
| Engine | CVT automotive-grade, inline four-cylinder four-stroke water-cooled |
| Top speed | 180km/h |
This three-wheeled Luwei Landun LD1800ZD from a Chinese brand is the first ultra-large displacement motorcycle independently manufactured in China, also one of the top 5 biggest motorcycle in the world. (And you can also check the top 10 electric tricycle manufacturers in China.) The entire manufacturing process of this vehicle comes from Shandong Landun Motorcycle Manufacturing. It is currently the motorcycle with the largest displacement in China. The tricycle uses the same automatic transmission method as a car.
LD1800ZD is using 1800cc four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with maximum horsepower of 132HP, and maximum torque of 176NM. With 45L fuel tank, and the vehicle length, width and height are 3500/1500/1300MM, the ground clearance is 180mm.
The front face design of this LD1800ZD also follows the car’s front face design. The large air intake grille is paired with vertical chrome decorative strips. The suspension system of the entire vehicle also uses relatively advanced intelligent aviation aluminum materials and intelligent air suspension design.
In addition, some of the motorcycle parts are also lightweight, and the weight of the entire vehicle is about 600kg. The front part accounts for more than half of the weight of the whole vehicle. After all, the front part of this tricycle is relatively large, so that the center of gravity of the whole vehicle is biased toward the front to obtain better driving force.
In terms of configuration, it has front and rear electronic parking, and smart keyless starting. The body frame is made of aluminum alloy + stainless steel, and carbon fiber body coverings. The front suspension is using aluminum alloy double swingarm, and the rear suspension is using carbon fiber double arms, also equipped with shock absorbers, front and rear ABS anti-lock braking system, and automatic lighting system.
Of course, this motorcycle with a unique design and rich configurations is not cheap either. Its price starts at RMB289000 (about US$40,000), which is equivalent to the price of a car.
