Riggin,
I have looked at these. Spoke with a guy on one at a show recently. The looks kind of turned me off, a bit bulky - but I did wonder what it would be like to have a V8 under me. Could not get him to hand over the keys for a test ride! Sounded real nasty which is a good thing.
What was it like - weight-wise? Looks like it would be a handful at low speeds. Was it a small block or a older big block or a new LS3?

It was an 07 not sure if it was a small block or not. I was able to test ride only with signing of a waiver . It is very bulky and heavy definitely not for the light hearted. I was at the ocean city maryland bike week at the race track.ohh and by the way he held the keys to my road king! I believe the starting price was 45,000. The ride is awesome once moving but very hard handling at low speeds and parking lots! I would never be able to legally ride one of these to it potential except on a drag strip!

Hey RK, when you went to the show, did they have their big Red Trailer there? If they did, I painted that at work, thats what I do or a living. I went to Sturgis one year, and they were doing free test rides on the Boss Hoss Bikes.

I rode and early version of one with a 350 small block. I was actually quite surprised at the manners. I was also very careful not to let the weight get away from me at low speeds. Awsome power rush though.

You cant see the trailer but it was on the right side of the pic!!

Riggin,
What is bike week like in Ocean City Maryland? I am about 7.5 hrs from there. In your opinion is it worth the trip?

Sorry Big Daddy - the guy I spoke to was a private owner - no Boss Hoss company display or trailer at this show. Hey, you aren't Don Garlits by any chance? He's my hero!

If you book ahead and stay local it is a blast! I go every year. It can be expensive of course but i love the ocean and the rides out of ocean city are cool! I lived in MD. At the time so it was easier now in VT. It takes about 10 hours but a good ride!
