I don't like it. 
why would a person need 500 HP on a cycle. even in a a 500 HP is insane but in a cycle that's stupid. My dad has 90 Goldwing 1500 cc with 6 cylinder 6 carbs. and he's a pretty big guy (6 ft 280 lbs) and i'm a little bigger (6 ft 4 300 lbs) we both rode(he drove as i rode on the back) up a pretty steep hill(this was in June) he ran 70 up that hill like it was nothing. so to me anything more than 2000 cc is foolish. cause all that V-10 is gonna do is either kill the rider or chug gas.

I would never ride this thing. Take a look at how close the V10 engine is to your "precious" part. Imaging what a blown engine will do to you... OUCH!!

Forget the blown engine...Dodge's don't blow...er..wait..nevermind. Read about how hot that engine gets in the Viper, they say that even top down and A/C on the cabin is still warm(I'm sure that a lot has to do with poorly insulated exhaust pipes, but still)...ok...now straddle that same engine. Fried Oysters anyone?

The the engine and door panels get so hot in the wiper that they cooked eggs and bacon on it. Imagine sitting on that thing. Dodge has to be joking becuz that hog will never make production and is a waste of time.
