Yep, I think they they shuld be used for going in a strait line at the race track . think the guy at 9:35 did a burn out at like 40 mph ! I would like to know the safty record of these things .
@OldGrounds93 It's junk. It's not a motorcycle by any logical means. It's a brick that can't even turn like a real bike. It only LOOKS like a motorcycle ...in a cartoonish way.
Yes I would recommend this for a beginner! Forget about a Honda Rebel or anything like that. Go big or go home! Just buy the motorman's videos and you'll be turning that thing around on a dime in no time at all. You're not serious...... are you?
Well fuck yeah. There's no way you're getting more than 20 miles on one of those, before your pant leg burns off, and your back needs a chiropractor. Any bike that isn't at least practical, is worthless. Even those showy choppers from OCC and WCC are at least feasible to ride. Then again, I'll never understand why you need more than 2 cylinders to move a motorcycle.
Christopher Smith you miss the point. The loud & overweight America is both a stereotype of their tourist abroad and and archetype of America as it projects itself around world. There are lots of people who are large from overeating in many countries. But they rarely take up space ( physically and metaphorically) the way many Americans do, regardless of their physical size. Specifically carbon footprints and cultural hegemony. This bike is the epitome of that.
@@paulroberts3639 Well in a sense you are right, but most of that has nothing to do with the car's that Americans drive. A lot of it has to do with all of the shipping to and from China, and the fact that our waste management system isn't very good at all, most of our garbage ends up in the ocean or in third world countries that burn it.
On some of these you can go till 150 mph in reverse, although they have a kill switch which needs to be engaged before using reverse to stop this from happening.
Nice bikes, but all that power put on the ground with a 2" x 4" contact patch...no make sense. If you get just a tiny tiny bit off center at a stop, your going to fall right over and three people could not pick that cow up. Its a good engineering exercise but about as practical as tits on a bull. Maybe thats why you never see any.
I love it when People move and explore the Limits of Size and Power. A genuine "Chariot of Fire". Keep going and keep the Rubberside down. Thumps up from me!
I dont think that a lot of people understand the feeling of joy and excitement that goes with riding one of these,...I mean I not going to buy one myself but you have to respect the thrill of owning and riding one.
I own a Harley Street Glide and I saw one of those guys pass me up on the road and I was floored by how badass it was. Truly impressed by its performance and power. My hog looked like a tricycle against that beast.
I like small bikes and I like big bikes. I think these would be fun to see in person. To the owners of these Boss Hosses, have fun on your unique and interesting bikes and ride safe. RIDE AND LET RIDE, people!
There is nothing badass about them. They're fuck-ugly, terrible fuel economy, handle worse than a chopper with ridiculous forks, cost more than any human should ever spend on a bike, and there's no way you're going to ride it more than 20 miles without stopping. I'll stick to my V-Twin Harley. Everything I need, nothing that I don't.
Amazing feat of engineering, but I have never ever seen any of these things being ridden. Only thing I saw were guys that seemed too short for the bike on tiptoe trying not to fall over while there was a ring of admiring spectators around the bike. You don't have to be short to look too small for this bike, mind. Everyone under 5.10 will tiptoe when sitting on that thing.
Funny isn't it, no matter what site you visit, no matter how awesome the the subject be it cars, planes, boats, bikes whatever, there are always without fail angry jealous trolls putting it down. Pathetic sad people. YES I'M TALKING TO YOU!!!
What am I supposed to be jealous of? I would have to actually want one, to be jealous. There is nothing there that I want. It's a piece of shit. A motorcycle should be functional. There's nothing functional about these things, outside of novelty, or maybe a day at the track.
These things are a joke. In the real world a 600 cc sport bike will perform better in all except straight-line acceleration over a short distance. Waste of money.
You know, maybe it's hard to believe, but some people don't give a flying fuck about performance, practicality, or whatever else you have in your mind. Some of them, have a "I like it so I'm gonna do it" mentality. Seriously, this shit is so nuts that it is amazing how fucking nuts it is, and I fucking love them for it. Besides, most of them are show bikes that are rarely ridden...people having these things do have at least 2 or 3 bikes in addition.
Yea but think they are unique not one is the same and think about it like this sure you could buy a Porsche but its not as cool as building a 500hp civic
I have ridden the small block Boss Hoss. I rode one right after they came out. A buddy had one and would let anyone on it. It came to a bad end, oddly enough. The small block chevy version was surprisingly well balanced and nimble. It really was not hard to ride at all. I probably put 300 miles on it one afternoon and came away impressed. Years later I have been around a couple of the big block version and was NOT impressed. Brag bikes strictly. Stupid looking clumsy things.....pffffffftttttttt.
For years I rode with a group who every Thursday, went for a lunch ride, usually less than 100 miles one way. We often rode the coast south of Monterey, CA, down to Big Sur. One of the group bought a Boss Hoss. So many pros and cons, but me thinks it would look so much better without the Mack truck radiator.
0:39 You should know that when there are flames at the exit of the exhaust pipes, this is due to poor combustion and therefore to incorrectly adjusted injection / carburation.
These big bikes are wayyyyy to expensive, far too big and powerful for most of you to handle. You simply don't have the physical strength or the skill to ride one of these bikes without getting yourself killed.
I didn't think it was possible for a Boss Hoss video could be boring. But you managed to do that. All you're showing are the Boss backing up or idling! All that power and nothing shown of it!
They would kick ass in a straight line. And no they're fine at idle. Like that one guy said it's just a super aggressive camshaft. And to add to it bigger displacement cars will sound "lumpier" naturally. If you go to a car show like Good Guys you would see that most dude's cars there sound like that.
@@bodvarson1933 I duess if you put full gas on it, it would just flip backwards. Not only a waste, but dangerous as well.. These engines even make SUVs overpowered, you just shouldnt have that power at two wheels

These bikes are smooth out on the road, but if you really crack the throttle you better hang on because its like they are on ice. Too me they are unique, but personally Id rather have a 100 to 150hp cruiser that is easy to handle for long trips and more controllable.
I'm surprised the BOSS-HOSS builder never thought about adding to the front suspension an extra OLHINS shock like modern BMW motorcycles have (GS)...it would be a game changer & add so much stability and ride control to this marvel cruiser..!!
yes... thats why you dont put such a heavy engin on a bike... those things are only for show off. dont get me wrong i ride a gl1100 and if i would drop it i would have a hard time picking it up but i could do it on my own if i had to. but i can use my bike every day and not just to drive it in a straight line to the next show room.
Yeah, I'm going to have to say that's why you don't put one on a MOTORCYCLE. You have to expect to drop it once in a while. What's the point in having a bike you literally couldn't pick back up, in a pinch? It's stupidity for the sake of stupidity.
And nobody cares about it, they like it, they do it, it's nuts, it's amazing how nuts it is, and you can't do anything about it. Not everybody goes for practicality or performance ^_^
Ferguson101 You can't really cruise with these things...the engines are thirsty AF, and the tank is basically non existent. If you hit 50-60 miles with a fill up you're lucky :'D These bikes are basically a huge FUCK YOU to everything that has to do with common sense, and I fucking love it :D
Sure, but imagine how annoying it would be to fill up every 20 minutes. And considering that you have parts of higways where there aren't many gas station, it's most likely that you have to fill up after 10 miles again, so you can reach the next gas station.

yeah all of them do. most have an automatic 2 speed with reverse
Most do.

I bet that's like riding a wood burning stove.
Lols for you
its not their actually very cool. huge radiator and fan and reservoir is in the wind while your driving. very smartly engineered to not bake you off.
