Can you imagine what it would be like to ride this and nail it.

Some days it\'s not worth chewing through the restraints.

I saw a youtube video. Pretty easy to smoke the tire until there was nothing left.

Yeah, there was one at a local car show a while back, they are big, don't think it would be much of a canyon carver. I do believe though that Jay Lenos jet powered bike could beat it top end... :lol:

They had a display at the Detroit Autorama a few years ago. The lady I talked to said she preferred the small block as the big block made you spread your legs too wide. She also said that the center of gravity is low enough that a woman can ride one of these without any problems.

The jet powered bike has been run to 249 mph   that I saw on Utube.

There are some videos of guys that run large displacement all aluminum small blocks in the Boss Hoss bikes.  The videos show show these guys whacking the throttle wide open at speed around 45 - 60 mph.  The rear tire goes up in smoke.


Looks like fun

I looked into them a few years ago, thought they were pretty neat.  The small block on weighs less than a Honda Goldwing by 50 pounds or so.  There was a 502 one here a couple of years ago at a show too.  I like them because they are my size.  I look like a monkey with a football on most bikes.

that would be incorrect on the  weight..

A Goldwing 1800 ( I owned 2 of them) is around 850 - 900  wet.

The Boss Hoss is a  fuzz over 1100 pounds
