It's kind of a toss up.  Heritage Softail, Kawasaki Ninja, Norton 850 Commando, 48 Indian Chief .  Different categories to be sure, but hey, they all have two wheels... Grin

1948 Indian Chief

Well I'm a Kawasaki and Honda man myself (but I've owned a Suzuki and a Yamaha in my time).
I just like Japanese bikes as I know when I leap on and hit the starter they'll fire up and work.
Also I'm a sports bike fanatic, although my Yamaha was a moto-crosser.

I have my doubts about the dodge tomahawk, mostly about its performance, I dont want to take this too far in arguing about it, but its just a skinny single seat car/4-wheeler, (it does have 4 wheels) motorcycles are supposed to have 2 wheels Wink
edit: looking at it again, how are you suppose to turn it? does it have suspension? usually bike companies make a big deal about having suspension in the spec's document....
oh well, just my opinion...
