Video: Just another Viper V-10 powered motorcycle


What is it with people and their fascination when it comes to mating V10 engines and motorcycles? I'm not really sure if they have a death wish or they just crave attention.

The SHO packs 365hp thanks to it's twin turbo V6, a staggering number until you have the sobering realization that the car it lives in weighs 4,300 pounds. But that kind of power output still got this guy a respectable slip with a 13.92 1/4 mile time at 100mph.
