It's a POS crappy knockoff of the Dodge Tomahawk concept vehicle:

I think that is the newest release from Microsoft. I believe it replaces "Vista". They felt they needed something of "substance" in order to keep their hold on the market and the prices up! Not fussy on the colour myself.

It looks like a chinese clone of a Dodge Tomahawk- the 4 wheeled motorcycle that Dodge built with a Viper V-10. This is a chinese look-a-like with a 150cc engine.

Really dumb. Only a complete tool would buy one.

I don't know what is it, but I know that it's very ugly ... It's probably self made ...

That is another reason for people to hate scooters, especially governmental bodies who work with DOT and safety.

What is the point of it? It is not really a bike...more like a very narrow guage ATV.

I saw a thing on TV just the other day where they were interviewing people from the team that designed the Dodge Tomahawk. They put four wheels on it for two reasons. The first was for stability, since it weighs 1500 lbs. The second was because the motor was so wide, only one set of wheels would have made the massive engine bulging in the middle look really fat.

That said, there is no reason for this knock off to have two tires. Actually, there is no reason for that bike to exist at all.

At 1500 lbs you may as well run over yourself with a mini-cooper or something similar if you ever drop the thing. Crushed limbs anyone?
