I saw a film clip of it on Speed Chanel. It was very "porpoisey", kinda rolling up and down on its suspension as the test driver accelerated.

Is it called tomahawk because it's named after the cruise missle?

Ummm, how exactly do you turn? I mean, normally you lean slightly the opposite direction and the bike lays down and you turn the correct way... with the two tires...leaning... how? some weird suspension that keeps the other tire touching when you lean? It sounds like an insane machine built to make a point, but seriously - why would you ever even wanna touch it? YIKES!
