Does anybody remember when Dodge took the engine out of a viper and built a motorcycle around it?  If you don't here's the stats on something like that.

500 bhp (373 kW) @ 5600 rpm (45 kW/L); 525 ft·lbf (712 Nm) @ 4200 rpm
10-cylinder 90-degree V-type, liquid-cooled, 505 in³ (8275 cc)
356-T6 aluminum alloy block with cast-iron liners, aluminum alloy cylinder heads
Bore x Stroke: 4.03 by 3.96 in (102 x 101 mm)
Two pushrod-actuated overhead valves per cylinder with roller-type hydraulic lifters
Sequential, multi-port electronic fuel injection with individual runners
Compression Ratio: 9.6:1
Max Engine Speed: 6000 rpm
Fuel Requirement: Unleaded premium, 93 octane (R+M/2)

Isn't that the one that just barely functioned, it was more of just a display piece than anything. If I remember right it didn't really turn, and they wouldn't let hardly anyone ride it because they knew it was so unstable.

I saw a guy this morning on my way into work that was riding one of those bikes with the Ford Flathead V8. It just looks rediculous the engine is so huge. You have to sit so far behind it, and you sit low so it looks like your riding along violating a big motor. If that doesn't scream compensation I don't what does. I respect fast bikes, but soemthing like that is just rediculous, especially when you have a giant V8 and some guy on his 600cc sport bike will still hand you your ***  

Yeah, not to mention with the 600 you can TURN.
