New 500bhp US/UK bike
The Millyard Viper V10, sports an engine from a (your guessed it!) Dodge Viper.
You would need similar proportions to Shaquille O'Neal or Yao Ming
(the worlds two tallest ever Basketballers)
for the ergos to be perfect, as it is almost a long as a Dodge Viper.
The bike has however been sucessfully
tested by more modestly-proportioned riders in it's first official speed
test earlier this month, which produced a staggering 333k/ph run.
The Motorcycle, built by Allen Millyard of the UK, boasts a whopping
500bhp, a power-to-weight ratio of 1000bhp per tonne and 525lb/ft of
Torque.
It is rumored the bike likely not be a one-off, but may be produced in limited numbers from wrecked Dodge Vipers and surplus.
You would be somewhat concerned about the physics involved with riding
such a machine - namely the massive weight, relatively high centre of
gravity and the reputation which all things Viper carry or not being
able to handle or corner. But there are a few videos out there showing
us that indeed it can, be it cautiously, lean.
We're fairly certain though, that millions of
NBA superstars around the world will be wanting one of these.
