But the Tomahawk is a joke. Aside from ugly, it can't be ridden on public streets, at least not legally. And those who have ridden it have called it a handling nightmare. It's an embarrassment to the motorcycling world.

If 0-60 is your only criteria, there are far faster bikes that are affordable... in comparison... and handle. Like the MV Augusta F4 Tamburini, or the Ducati Desmosedici RR, both of which will run circles around the Tomahawk.
