It was first unveiled at NAIS (North American International Auto Show) in 2003 by well-known performance car manufacturer – Dodge Motors. Although, it was not a street legal motorcycle but still achieved the record as the fastest motorcycle in the world.

As we know, Dodge motors doesn’t make motorcycles. The Dodge Tomahawk was a result out of an experimentation cum idea given by two employees of Chrysler Group. Meet Bob Schroeder, a motorcyclist, and Dave Chyz, a technician, build specialist, and bike racer and Mark Walters, a professional designer. Bob and Dave showed first rough sketches to the Freeman Thomas, VP advanced design of Daimler Chrysler.  Mr Freeman Thomas suggested some changes related to the design and engine configuration part. Finally, in 2002 Walters prepared a full-scale model of Dodge Tomahawk and showed it to the senior executives of Chrysler Group and guess what happened? They had gotten instant approval to make this bike functional for roads.
