Boss Hoss Motorcycles - 2008 BCH-3 LS2 - $60K

Boss Hoss Motorcycles - The new Hoss motorcycle  trades raw cubic inches for technology, and is powered by a General Motors LS2 small block that cranks out 425 hp and 425 lb.-ft. of torque—an updated engine introduced in the 2005 Corvette. So consider this: If the ’Vette weighs approximately 3200 pounds with reported top speed of 186 mph, and you figure the LS2-powered Hoss weighs somewhere around one-third as much, you get an idea of how hard this new pony can gallop.

The BHC-3 Boss Hoss Cycle is also a lighter and sleeker steed than the big-block bike. The LS2 shaves off 235 pounds and incorporates the lower seat height and shorter wheelbase of the popular Boss Hoss Super Sport—updates that should contribute to better handling while the optional Legend Air Suspension softens the ride. All Boss Hoss 2008 models are fuel injected, too.

Boss Hoss Motorcycle History

Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc. was established in 1990 when Monte Warne, the founder and president of created his first Chevy V-8 powered motorcycle in his 5000 square foot shop in Dyersburg, TN. Monte, a commercial aircraft pilot and degreed Aviation Airframe and Power plant technician, was the first to design a V-8 powered motorcycle that has a traditional cruiser motorcycle style, look and feel. This was accomplished by his unique approach to the motorcycles single speed (one gear) transmission design. The right angle drive transmission allows the length of the bike to be kept to a minimum and the engine-mounting inline with the frame made for a well-balanced design that is unequaled by any other V-8 powered motorcycles.

In the true innovative spirit that brought the Boss Hoss to life, these dream machines will continue to astonish the most diehard motorcyclist. Some of the their most recognized customers include Jay Leno, Mark Martin, Vince McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin. For more information visit Boss Hoss Motorcycles.
