Overview
Boss-Hoss street legal V8 motorcycle

The meanest, nastiest, fastest, and most outrageous motorcycle born out of American steel with a Chevy V8 502cid big block sitting between your legs. You haven't ridden a true red, white, and blue motorcycle made in the USA unless the name etched in the steel says Boss Hoss.
The unmistakable power from these hogs is delivered via a ram air cowl induction cnc designed, machined, and matched for ultimate performance that sits atop the iron horse's heart and center grafted to the feul tank. Allowing the fuel delivery for stronger and denser octane for optimum horsepower. Looking for horsepower then look no further with the two wheeled version reaching in excess of 700 HP and the Low Boy Trike edition exceeding 1600 HP your sure to have enough muscle traveling through America's Greatland... keep riding safe. Drop the base stock equipped Boss Hoss Chevy v8 350 in a car and you have an instant hot rod. Put one in a motorcycle, and you have instant insanity.

For comparison, the 1999 Suzuki Hayabusa, the speed king of mass-produced bikes, has a 79 cubic-inch motor that produces around 160 horsepower good for nearly 190 m.p.h. A run-of-the-mill Harley-Davidson has a 88 cubic-inch motor that makes around 65 HP, enough for 100 to 115 mph on most models. The Boss Hoss power plant dwarfs them combined. If you come across the owner of the Boss Hoss edition that sports the license plate "221 m.p.h." ask him if it's good for it. The owner says "You hold you breath, roll your wrist as far forward as you can and open it up." Along with his words of experience are "At speeds of more than 120 or so, it's hard for most mortals to process sensory information fast enough to ride and react proficiently [so don't try this at home]".

is this a production bike?

about 15 years ago in KC, I met a guy who had a home made bike with a v-8 oldsmobile engine (460 I think). he used the rearend from a triumph(car) for his 1-speed tranny.  his' 'longhorn' pullback style handle bars came back about 3 1/2' to reach back over the engine and huge gas tank. he had a trailer hitch on the back.  not sure what he pulled with it.  anything he wanted I suppose.

Yes, they are production bikes,  there a several dealers around the States.

Do a search for Boss Hoss ( the brand name)

I've seen these on the road here in Arizona.


They make a trike version that has 1200 or 1700 hp ( I forget)



Nothing else is as fast as one of these.
