World's First Chainsaw-Powered Motorcycle


The DOLMETTE is the unique motorcycle that is powered by 24 DOLMAR chainsaw engines. It is using a 5-speed Harley-Davidson transmission by a series of twelve toothed belts. The engines were tuned and tweaked to deliver 5.2 kW of power (7.1 PS) at 10,000 rpm. Maximum torque delivery is 5.5 Nm at 7,750 rpm. When all 24 are combined, the result is a 24-cylinder power plant with a total displacement of 1.9 litres, a power output of 125 kW (170 PS) and 130 Nm of torque at the centrifugal clutches. Let’s watch the videos after the jump!

Dodge Tomahawk Motorcycle


At the 2003 Detroit Motor Show Dodge unveiled a monstrous creation called the Tomahawk; a unique motorcycle with two front wheels and two rear wheels powered by a 500HP 8.3L V10 engine from the Viper. Although the Tomahawk was never intended to for production, Chrysler actually built 10 running (but not road-legal) examples that were sold for $550,000 a piece through Neiman Marcus. Now, a Chinese maker decided it was time that someone re-introduced the Tomahawk into the market as a cheap knock-off called the KMD K-007 Tron Bike MC-06. How cheap? Well, $1,398 will buy you a poorly executed Tomahawk replica. For that kind of money don’t expect any mechanical wonders as the original concept’s 500 HP V10 engine has been replaced by a… 150cc single cylinder engine that pumps out a staggering 10 HP

2009 Yamaha VMax


It looks as sexy as sexy can be! It weighs 683lbs wet and is powered by a 1679cc liquid-cooled 65° V-4, DOHC, 4 valves/cylinder engine. There’s no chain on the ride, it is shaft driven. It is a 5 speed standard transmission (sorry not automatic). But the transmission does have a multiplate slipper clutch. Which is essential I think when you have to slow down a 683lb motorcycle. Every little bit of braking power helps. The amount of power the engine can induce is a whopping 197.4hp! And the estimated fuel efficiency is around 47Mpg! With a 4 gallon fuel tank you can expect to travel about 180 miles on one tank of gas. For more
