Wow I didn't know they made that much power.

Dunno how fast they are, but they sure weigh enough!

heres a pic

 

[proud dad]

choices are a 350 or a ZZ502.That 502 is damn neer bullet proof.A very strong engine.Just a bad azz Chevy.

Just saw one tonight nice looking in its own small block bike.

 

[tinbender0]

surely the busa is faster ......right

i wouldn't think they could hook up with all those ponies

 

[heavybusa]

These things are crazy balls fast, and get up like a champ.

Just like stomping the gas pedal in a mustang or a camaro with a quarter the weight.

Got to take one out a few years back. Swore it had a 327 small block. Very uncomfortable. Very heavy. Very awkward. Very, very fast.

I saw one light the rear up in smoke at around 50 mph just by gassing it. Has a tranny like an old power glide. The side to side torque swing at idle is wicked but at speed it must be a real handful.

I have some pics of the three I saw this weekend. They don't do it justice with the sheer size of these bikes. You can play a board game on the tank alone. Let me know if you want them.

Couple of guys here have one. They're a PIG to handle. You've got to be real careful when you add throttle. To pass a car you just add throttle and the torque will pull you to the left REAL QUICK ! I don't know how you keep your legs from being burned off with the pipes right by them ! Anyway, they look

 weird and BIG, and you have to be real careful when doing slow turns. Did I say they were BIG  

. They're sure not going to be easy to pick up if you tip over

. They do SOUND GREAT thought  

 

[spkerhed]

we have a dealer here and my buddy paints all of there bikes ( they order them without paint ) so every one is costom. the trikes look real sweet

 

[Professor]

I took one out several years ago (92-93) with a small block in it. It ran a decent straight line but a ZX-11 that was hot at that time would have taken it.

 

[Blue Streak]

I saw a test online that someone did a while back with a zx12 and a Boss Hoss where they did a bunch of different races and the zx12 won every time.

 

[Fate]

I was just talking to a guy that has been saving up for one, did not even know what one was till he described it.

 

[1300hemibusa]

We had one at our 1/8 mile track last year ..This one had the small block motor ... He lined up with a piped busa about 3 times .. I would have thought the Busa would get him ...But that was not the case ..The Busa would hole shot him and the Boss Hoss would go up in smoke to about the 330 mark and then the tire hooked and then drove by the busa ....The Boss Hoss only used first gear in the 1/8 mile...lol....If i had not seen it first hand i would not have believed it ..

[frisbee]

Then the guy on the busa can't ride because every result i've seen the boss can't hook up good enough. I ran one on the freeway from 60 he is all over you but at about 110 you'll leave him . haven't ran the big block version yet . they only got 2 gears and a crap load of torque.

vs. Boss Hoss Vid. [/url]

 

[Big Red]

Then there are those with even deeper pockets that take those big block Boss Hoss motors and have then totaly rebuilt with performance parts and race tuned!
