The rear tire looks kinda scary not being rounded... Seems like that would create stability issues when turning... I'm no expert only a trail runner every now and then

Those bikes a pointless. This guy James that used to go ride with my dads group of buddies had one of those, he had more problems with that thing but thought he was the coolest guy in the world.

My dad said he'd always have to pull over because it was overheating on him or something broke...yadda yadda yadda

They actually had one here in Phoenix that was a custom built bike, not a boss hoss.

This one was built around a Viper engine. When this guy started up this bike it was sick how it would torque the bike from the torque it produced. I saw it first hand, wish I had gotten a picture of it!

My friend has one and loves it - - has lots of miles on it. Takes it on long trips rather than his Aspencade.

I was watching Car Crazy the other night and they had some guy that wrecked his old Mopar and had a bike frame just sitting around so he put the 2 together. It was a big block Hemi with a super charger. Thing was he couldnt se through the engine and had to lean to the side just to see around it. He did start it up and drive around the lot, but i bet thats as much as he drives.

Evidence once again that just because something CAN be done doesn't mean that it SHOULD be done.

There's an older guy around here who rides one of the 502 inch versions. Mileage was lousy too, but they are cool and sound better. Two of them would sound like my boat.

I guess that bike is one of those things that, if you can afford it and want it, its neat to have even if it can be difficult in living with day to day. Then again, now that I think about it, a tucked and lifted platinum blond usually rides with that older guy I mentioned above.

Bleh! See real bike in avatar. '02 race prep'ed Yamaha R6.

Guess its all in what you want and why you want it. BossHoss is not my cup of tea, but then an '02 R6 probably isn't most people's either.

All best,

If it's the bike that I think you're talking about it had two front tires. I think that Jay Leno bought it. I can't remember what they called it.

This is the one that I was thinking of. It's called the " Tomahawk". It's a V-10 Viper engine.
