The motorcycle nuts at ICON Motorsports make an interesting observation about their Warthog bike, inspired by the USAF's A-10 ground-attack fighter that shares the same nickname: "Obviously the first thing that grabs one's attention is the 800-watt MTX audio system." Well, sure, that's impressive — but I think the minigun mounted to the front of the 'cycle caught my eye first. That, and it's hard to miss that the whole thing is decal'd to the nines with ammunition. But I'm sure that audio system sounds killer, too.
The Warthog does everything it can to look mean and fast, and has a few added, nutty frills, such as an 8-inch LCD screen "to view Full Metal Jacket, Iron Eagle, or Top Gun and the ability to broadcast a view of the victims left in its wake via an integrated rear view camera."
Worried you won't be able to rock a bike like the Warthog? Well, a matching helmet should give you the confidence you need. Check out the gallery below for more of the Icon Warthog, and click through for a video of the bike in action.

That is a killer bike! Hopefully you took a look at the helmets. They come in green and black, and look as good as the bike.
Do you know if this has a forward-looking camera also? It would be pretty sweet if it was integrated into the LCD in a heads-up style display. Also, any idea on the gauges? Are they digital and show on the display, or are they just not there?
I couldn't help but comment on this bike on my blog... =)

Not the first bike with a simulated minigun. Check out the Orange County Choppers Comanche Bike:
