Thanks for the review. I’ve been a owner and rider of Boss Hoss since 2006 and I really like them. I’ve owned the trikes, big blocks, small blocks and the SS models. So you could say I know the bikes pretty well. Your comments are 100% accurate about these machines and it’s good to see someone else who isn’t making fun of those of us who happen to be fortunate enough to own them and appreciate them for what they are. In my opinion they are a motorcycle that’s in a class all by itself. It looks like you get what I’m saying. Hope you keep riding for many years.
Story Time: 15+ years ago or so I was working a third job on the weekends working the door and checking ID's at a local club in Dyersburg, TN. One Tuesday afternoon I walk in to pick up my check and there's this one guy in the entire place eating lunch with the manager, so I sit down and join them. We shook hands and introduced ourselves. This was pre-smartphone days, and the name didn't ring a bell, but his shop shirt said Monte on it and Boss Hoss as the business. Anyway, we talked casually for a few minutes as Monte finished his cold ones and eventually he said he had to get back to work. I said something to the effect of, "You think your supervisor's gonna bust you for having a few with lunch?" He shrugged it off as no big deal, replying, "Nah, I should be okay." I asked him if he got to build any bikes there, to which he replied: "I just sweep the floors, brother." The club manager burst out laughing at this, but didn't say anything. As Monte got up to leave, we shook hands and off he went, presumably back to sweep the floors. Only after he was gone did the manager tell me that he didn't sweep the floors at all, and that I had just sat down with Monte Warne--the founder of Boss Hoss Motorcycles. To this day, I still have trust issues believing people when we first meet. My social life thanks you, Monte.
I have a Boss Hoss dealership a few miles away in Harbor City, CA. I went to an event held at the store, easily 100+ custom Boss Hoss bikes and trikes. It was an amazing sight!
I had the pleasure of meeting one of those monstrosities on the Autobahn a couple of weeks back. I was driving somewhere around 115-120mph and after moving out of his way he took of again as if I'm at a standstill. Never seen a chopper do anything close to that. Im since fascinated with these things. It's beyond me, how you even manage to stay put in the seat on a machine like that.
That statement is fake news. The world of motorcycles crosses all national borders. There have been car-engined motorcycles in many places. Some are one-offs, some were regular production models. Off the top of my head I can name the following production models: Brough Superior with an Austin engine built in the UK, the Amazonas with a VW engine built in Brazil, the BFG and MF, two French brands that used Citroen motors. Then, there's Allen Millyard, the king of one-offs, over in the UK who built himself a beautiful bike around a Viper V10 and for good measure a V-Twin using two cylinders off of an aircraft radial engine. He has his own YT channel: ua-cam.com/users/millyardviper
@indytbird People who say "buy a real bike" did not graduate Highschool. A bike, in this context, is a motor vehicle with two wheels. This video showcases multiple two wheeled vehicles that are powered by a motor, thus defining them as a motorcycle or "bike."
I still would rather own a suki C 50 , I rode one once in 2016 and did not want to give it back to my buddy, it really was an awesome get around bike , wish I could afford one , can;t even sneak up on the money right now ,
These motors are never gonna see their peak HP use ever, these are engines for trucks and top fuel dragsters on a very lightweight motorcycle frame, literally just pulling its own weight it'll never be even close to breaking a sweat...Hence the fuel efficiency of such a beast...
@@michellemorrison5841 You could probably get more mileage doing an aggressive Econo-tune and downsizing injectors, but that's nerfing the engine further.
@@shapshooter7769 Even with that trike anything over 250 horsepower is probably wasted anyway so you could really lean that engine out pretty well you would think.
You changed my entire thinking about BossHoss. I always thought BossHoss were very big overlydone and perhaps not so comfortable bikes but your vid changed that completely.
My grandfather owned a fab shop down the road from the first boss hoss location and made the first couple of frames for the bikes so this is cool for me to see
Good morning gentlemen. This is your friend and fan Ted from Texas. I received your shirt the other day, that I had purchased during your contest. Thank you for shipping promptly. As to this show, video, it was awesome. I think the sound that the V8 motorcycles make is a beautiful sound. I like it better than the sound of a Harley Davidson. And I work at a Harley-Davidson store. I work at Cowboys Harley-Davidson in San Antonio. And proud of it. Stay safe and enjoy your videos all the time. And stay healthy
After 42 yrs riding a bike, my 2018 Boss Hoss 383 Roadster is my first trike and I love it. Keeping off of the throttle is my main problem yet it definitely elevates my adrenaline. I ride all year long and I live in the upper Midwest. It’s a great bike in all aspects. Thanks BH 👍
I once saw an ad for the Triumph Rocket 3 that said "So you bought a 1,000cc motorcycle, how cute". I thought that if I were the chief of Boss Hoss and I saw that, the ads for Boss Hoss would say "So you bought a 2,300cc motorcycle, how cute" and I'd make sure Triumph saw them. As for the bikes themselves, I've seen these with 572 ci engines. Much as I love bikes and tons of power, when a bike gets to be this big (and the trike even more so) you may as well drive a car. You like being in the wind, having tons of power, making lots of noise, and having people notice you so not just any car, but a T-bucket. Think about it, you don't need a special licence, you don't need to wear a helmet and other riding gear like jacket and boots, your wife sits beside you rather than behind so you can talk as you go along, you can eat and drink as you drive and you have a roof over you if it rains. A T-bucket has very limited luggage space as cars go but about the same as the bagger, and no chance of it falling over. Here's the kicker, a T-bucket can have any engine you like. It wouldn't weigh much more than the trike and can out-accelerate any car on the road and if you really want to out-accelerate a Boss Hoss, put a blower on it and have 900 hp.
@@richardstoffel6585 The Tomahawk has 2 wheels at the front and 2 at the back, so I would suggest it isn't really a motorcycle.

Hey man I just wanna say thank you! I commented a few months ago saying I was saving to get a bike I’ve been riding on a ‘83 Yamaha 500 for awhile now and finally pulled the trigger on a “real bike” 😂😂 just got myself a Harley 48 yesterday and watching your videos made me fall in love with bikes and just wanting to ride
I agree with you talking about challenging yourself. I moved to another country, learned the language, found and married the love of my life, worked my ass off to go from rags to riches. In a little over a year and a half I accomplished it. It was not a totally planned out achievement but I took it step by step and now I live my dreams. Nobody should count themselves out on making their dreams come true. Keep up the great work!
I would love an explanation, description, of what the transmission and shifting is like. Are they automatics? I’ve owned and rode bikes for 50 years but never a beast like those. Love it!
That bike looks and seems completely AWESOME! I was impressed when I gave the 2017 HD Freewheeler a test ride, with its 1747 cc (106 ci) engine, but your Boss is generating even more power. That's incredible!
@@kermit8619 : I wanted to but they wouldn't hire me when they found out I was released from a "Looney-Bin". Something about insurance costs and the mental strain I'd put on the other employees. I dunno, so I wished them a "Happy Day", went back out to my rig and started driving again. At least the cops didn't look at me with a "Sour Face" when I told them about my "Stint in the joint" 🙃🤪😜😝😊😀😁😂🤣🤣🤣
This is just a great and enjoyable review of these bikes! I have heard of these years ago, but this is the first review I have seen. Everything I wanted to know, you have reviewed it! Thank you for the review and the fun entertainment in watching you enjoy your ride! Peace!
I have a 502 Kannon. I love it! It’s actually very easy to ride, smooth and pleasant. Gets a little scary when the rear tire breaks loose, otherwise it’s easier to ride than a Harley bagger In my opinion.
I am a car guy, who has started to be little interested in bikes lately and man... I can tell you, this power to weight ratio is a dream. Like you get PW ratio of a doubled fricking Bugatti Veryon, and "only" for 50k or so. Incredible
When you really sit down and think about it, it makes perfectly good sense. A V8 motorcycle ticks all of the boxes. If I could afford it, this would be my first choice. But ummm...dare I say it... Is there a Hemi version? 🙏😀
That's complete bullshit. The most American thing is slavery. Also, a friendly reminder that America is a large group of islands that span 2 continents, and anything on said islands is American.
@@joe125ful You said American when you clearly meant the US. I'm pretty sure no other place on the American continents manufacture and sell V8 motorcycles.
Sean fired up the big block Boss Hoss and all I could think was “sounds like Independence from Vice Grip Garage”. But it’s a motorcycle. Insane. I loike it.
I always loved that someone actually produced a v8 bike... but it's not like I would ever buy one. (I like to go around corners too) But, you did prove a point... there is just so much engine... you really can't use it. (0-60 times) Heck... even when I'm on my B-King... I can't mash the throttle... even in 3rd gear for fear of spinning, or going over. But all that torque is a good time.
The acceleration you must feel reminds me of how I felt when I had my Suzuki M109R...the pull on that bike was tremendous. THESE Boss Hoss bikes must feel like a jet fighter doing Mach I.
When are you going to pick up a 2020 Rocket? I can't wait to get your take on it! 0 - 60 in 2.7 secs and its my daily commuter. The Boss Hoss looks and sound ace by the way! Great Vid as always.
My father has the trike boss hoss with the 57 Chevy bellair rear with the rear storage, it’s a pretty neat bike Him and my mother have taking it cross country several times Unique bike for sure
"They say, everyday you should do something to scare yourself" - have to admit I've never met "them" who say that. More like "every day, brush your teeth, call your mother and wipe your shoes before coming in the house." If I get a Boss Hoss, can I quit doing those things?
You still have to do those things, just a bit differently. Every day, brush your teeth with whiskey, call your mother and let her know you aren't dead yet, and kick your feet up on the table in the house.
Ya know everyone tries to say a turbo busa is the best starter bike. I'd have to disagree and say the 600hp boss hoss is the best starter bike. Its got everything you need and then some lol. And its comfortable lol.
I remember back in the day a dude rolled up on one down at Biloxi Mississippi during a bike rally. It was an old school one with a small block Chevy 350. That thing was HUGE!! But man did it sound good
I got to try one very slowly down Brighton strip. Fella swore blind all the weight disappeared as soon as you move. He was right , handled real nice... and I was a litre sport bike guy back then. Bit large for our roads here unfortunately. Lovely bikes tho. So well-made
I'm pretty sure every component is based and built around the engine and it's weight, so shouldn't be any worse for maintenance then a regular car, truck, or motorcycle...And parts will be cheaper and more readily available since this is a Chevy pushrod v8 a timeless century old design...
Nice to see them, glad they are making them, but I find all three of my cruisers are faster where it counts, lighter weight and more fuel efficient, however I do like that trike alot, that should be boss hog's it's calling
In the late 1960’s wanted to buy a Munch Monmouth! The bike used a NSU four cylinder car engine! Malcomb Forbes of Forbes Magazine was the distributor! The showroom in Atlanta was for fitting the bike to your body! Yes, they measured your arms, hight, weight, rear end and leg length so the bike fit the rider! My 30 minute demonstration ride sold me! Expensive it was, but what a bike! Twin head lights, incredible smooth shifting and enough power to any driving situation! It was hand made basically in Germany! The company failed, but refunded my money! The reason it failed was the builder was a German perfectionist and took his time to build each bike one by one! It wasn’t gliztzy but really incredibly beautiful and practical! There are still a few in the US running about!
I don't have much experience with the Boss Hoss, but I did have some friends who owned them. One had the 350, I think there were 2 400 cu in and one had a 500 block. The gas tanks held I was told on the 500, it had an 11 gal tank. Also claimed it was a 706 hp. We all were on a ride from the Pentagon to the WTC site. The issue was the 500 with its gas milage. Seems that bike only got like 8 or 9 mpg. So, in a group of over 2500 motorcycles, our small group had to pull over so that Boss Hoss could refuel. Then we had to try to catch up to the group. We had to ride along the shoulder to do that since a large group of motorcycles caused a freakin large back up of cars. We managed to do that a few times, once we were able to catch up on a scheduled refuel for most of the bikes that needed it. Also, if you decide to buy a Boss Hoss, you are looking at over 1000 lbs to pick up if you drop it. Something to consider.
Brain child of Monte Warne, out of Tennessee, worked a short time at Lawrenceville Ga. Boss Hoss. My friend designed the emblem . I remember that red, white ,and blue machine.the paint jobs generally totally unique, bike to bike.
You may think that this is the largest motorcycle you can buy, but did you know you can buy a Semi Truck motorcycle?

Only problem I'm noticing is how blurry the display gets when you're really getting on the throttle. Weird. Boss Hoss should look into that.

@@mantis3574 yeah but be sure to slap a cat and some road tires on and you'll be good to go :)

I agree with you talking about challenging yourself. I moved to another country, learned the language, found and married the love of my life, worked my ass off to go from rags to riches. In a little over a year and a half I accomplished it. It was not a totally planned out achievement but I took it step by step and now I live my dreams. Nobody should count themselves out on making their dreams come true. Keep up the great work!
This is the most American motorcycle I’ve ever seen😂😂😂
obnoxious
@@jokeeffe2006 you say it like that's a bad thing. Any sport bike is louder than this thing.
When you REALLY want that potato potato sound from your motorcycle
When in doubt, add more cubic inches.
Some guy thats not all that far from SRK has a custom boss hoss trike with a Cummins in it i believe
i need it
@@BikesandBeards buy it!
He needs it!
@@BikesandBeards go make a video on it
Rolling coal on a trike....nice
I would love an explanation, description, of what the transmission and shifting is like. Are they automatics? I’ve owned and rode bikes for 50 years but never a beast like those. Love it!
Yes, I believe they are all automatics now.
If I recall correctly, the earlier ones had a two speed power glide. Not sure what they use now.
Every time I come back to this video, I laugh even harder every time he brings out another Boss Hoss😂 love your content!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Does anyone notice that white long stick thing falling because the sound of the bike at 8:06? 😂
No one? Just me? 😂
Yah I just noticed it
Lol
Doesnt have to be the sound.
Then what would it be
Btw nice mo mo profile pic
I love that you guys post so early, it gives me entertainment during these early morning’s
Wow, the sound from that big block is just mesmerizing. 🥰
That trike made me cry! Absolutely beautiful.
Still not seeing why I would “need” one. My 1200GS has more than enough go for me, and it doesn’t need a reverse gear…
The red & black Boss Hoss is stunning!
Yeah it is
the trike just makes sense on this platform
"Closed course track" only shows speedo lol gotta love it.
His 2017 personal Boss Hoss is absolutely beautiful!
That bike looks and seems completely AWESOME! I was impressed when I gave the 2017 HD Freewheeler a test ride, with its 1747 cc (106 ci) engine, but your Boss is generating even more power. That's incredible!
"Only 500 horsepower" on a motorcycle
500hp is insane even in a car
😱 insane
Well you know... If you REALLY wanted to "Get Stupid" you could always have a turbocharger or super charger on it and add NOS!!!!
@@thomaspigg306 You should work for Boss Hoss 😊👍
@@kermit8619 : I wanted to but they wouldn't hire me when they found out I was released from a "Looney-Bin". Something about insurance costs and the mental strain I'd put on the other employees. I dunno, so I wished them a "Happy Day", went back out to my rig and started driving again. At least the cops didn't look at me with a "Sour Face" when I told them about my "Stint in the joint" 🙃🤪😜😝😊😀😁😂🤣🤣🤣
This is just a great and enjoyable review of these bikes! I have heard of these years ago, but this is the first review I have seen. Everything I wanted to know, you have reviewed it! Thank you for the review and the fun entertainment in watching you enjoy your ride! Peace!
I have a 502 Kannon. I love it! It’s actually very easy to ride, smooth and pleasant. Gets a little scary when the rear tire breaks loose, otherwise it’s easier to ride than a Harley bagger In my opinion.
Wow super rare
the sound reverberating off the wall knocked over the pool thing in the back from the big block 😭😭
I am a car guy, who has started to be little interested in bikes lately and man... I can tell you, this power to weight ratio is a dream. Like you get PW ratio of a doubled fricking Bugatti Veryon, and "only" for 50k or so. Incredible
After seeing the 92 boss hoss, last night I had a dream of driving one. That 600hp looks amazing. I wish I could have the chance to drive one
When you really sit down and think about it, it makes perfectly good sense. A V8 motorcycle ticks all of the boxes. If I could afford it, this would be my first choice.
But ummm...dare I say it...
Is there a Hemi version? 🙏😀
Lmfao, a frickin hellcat boss hoss would be insane, I love it!!!
DUDE !! Put a turbo on your boss hoss. 😁 he said his Harley was fast an then i said braaappppp lol nice one. 500 hp on 2 wheels is insane. Killer vid.
What about twins?
@@SacrificeForYourSins now that would be scary lol
Or just get a stock hayabusa....0-60 is a LOT faster, it's a lot lighter, gets better fuel economy as well.
My vulcan 2000's motor has more displacement then my rav4 but this is a whole new level.
I love how the whole bike moves side to side when he cracks the throttle at a standstill. So much damn rotating mass.
You should see the big modded ones lol. Theres a video on yt of a bigblock with twin turbos and nitrous lmfao.
Ngl him giving his wife the milk and eggs was wholesome
Nothing more American then a Boss Hoss... That thing is a beast!
That's complete bullshit. The most American thing is slavery. Also, a friendly reminder that America is a large group of islands that span 2 continents, and anything on said islands is American.
Typical American stuff..ridicilous:)
@@joe125ful *US
@@LeakyTrees ??
@@joe125ful You said American when you clearly meant the US. I'm pretty sure no other place on the American continents manufacture and sell V8 motorcycles.
8:05 the rumble of the big block knocked something in the background over lol
Sean fired up the big block Boss Hoss and all I could think was “sounds like Independence from Vice Grip Garage”. But it’s a motorcycle. Insane. I loike it.
I always loved that someone actually produced a v8 bike... but it's not like I would ever buy one. (I like to go around corners too) But, you did prove a point... there is just so much engine... you really can't use it. (0-60 times) Heck... even when I'm on my B-King... I can't mash the throttle... even in 3rd gear for fear of spinning, or going over. But all that torque is a good time.
The acceleration you must feel reminds me of how I felt when I had my Suzuki M109R...the pull on that bike was tremendous. THESE Boss Hoss bikes must feel like a jet fighter doing Mach I.
An interesting collection of motorcycles in the garage
Why aren’t they advertised online for sale ?
When are you going to pick up a 2020 Rocket? I can't wait to get your take on it! 0 - 60 in 2.7 secs and its my daily commuter. The Boss Hoss looks and sound ace by the way! Great Vid as always.
My father has the trike boss hoss with the 57 Chevy bellair rear with the rear storage, it’s a pretty neat bike
Him and my mother have taking it cross country several times
Unique bike for sure
"Milk Eggs," my fav. Nice vid.
"They say, everyday you should do something to scare yourself" - have to admit I've never met "them" who say that. More like "every day, brush your teeth, call your mother and wipe your shoes before coming in the house." If I get a Boss Hoss, can I quit doing those things?
You still have to do those things, just a bit differently. Every day, brush your teeth with whiskey, call your mother and let her know you aren't dead yet, and kick your feet up on the table in the house.
Absolutely!!!!
No!, you'll still have to do those things except you can do them closer together... Cause you'll be at your destination at "Light Speed"!!!
Ya know everyone tries to say a turbo busa is the best starter bike. I'd have to disagree and say the 600hp boss hoss is the best starter bike. Its got everything you need and then some lol. And its comfortable lol.
I agree. You want something that you can grow into. You'll outgrow a turbo busa real quick
@@wigletron2846 absolutely, it'll take you a bit longer to outgrow the boss hoss.
@@parkersgarage4216 I'm thinking about throwing a Maggie on the boss hoss. Should hold me over for a few more weeks
@@wigletron2846 DO IT!!!!! When you tire of that time for compound boost 🤣 🤣 🤣
I am really sad to see a digital gauge has replaced the 13 beautiful analog gauges. Bring back the gauges!
Best motorcycle ever made as far as I'm concerned! Reliability at its best
I remember back in the day a dude rolled up on one down at Biloxi Mississippi during a bike rally. It was an old school one with a small block Chevy 350. That thing was HUGE!! But man did it sound good
That rectangular fan in front is a design killer, it's got to go.
Under that chrome is a radiator. It's very necessary to keep from overheating, not gonna get very far without it.
Beginner rider: looks for a beginner bike
Sean : This is a Starter Boss Hoss (2:00)
Beginner : *doubts existance*
Ah yes, I travel on a “closed track” on my way to work everyday. Sure is a nice thing to have access to. 😀
I got to try one very slowly down Brighton strip. Fella swore blind all the weight disappeared as soon as you move. He was right , handled real nice... and I was a litre sport bike guy back then. Bit large for our roads here unfortunately. Lovely bikes tho. So well-made
8:06 rake in the background fell over from the power
I think the maintenance on the boss boss will mostly be tires, wheel bearings, suspension, and breaks.
That weight has to take a toll on those things.
Transmission....by far is the fragile part of these bikes
I'm pretty sure every component is based and built around the engine and it's weight, so shouldn't be any worse for maintenance then a regular car, truck, or motorcycle...And parts will be cheaper and more readily available since this is a Chevy pushrod v8 a timeless century old design...
Best bike channel in UA-cam!!
Nice to see them, glad they are making them, but I find all three of my cruisers are faster where it counts, lighter weight and more fuel efficient, however I do like that trike alot, that should be boss hog's it's calling
That is what I like, not to go high speed, but to use that power when is necessary.
In the late 1960’s wanted to buy a Munch Monmouth! The bike used a NSU four cylinder car engine! Malcomb Forbes of Forbes Magazine was the distributor! The showroom in Atlanta was for fitting the bike to your body! Yes, they measured your arms, hight, weight, rear end and leg length so the bike fit the rider! My 30 minute demonstration ride sold me! Expensive it was, but what a bike! Twin head lights, incredible smooth shifting and enough power to any driving situation! It was hand made basically in Germany! The company failed, but refunded my money! The reason it failed was the builder was a German perfectionist and took his time to build each bike one by one! It wasn’t gliztzy but really incredibly beautiful and practical! There are still a few in the US running about!
When are we going to see a motorcycle with a submarine engine?...
I hope they can find a motorcycle with one of these fighter plane engines, you know, the star shaped ones.
they did that last week
That's what hyosung bikes use
I had a range rover which had a perkins 4203 in it as used in a midget submarine used at end of ww2
I saw a one off bike that had a massive v8 from a semi in it. Detroit diesel 8v53 I believe. It was beyond obnoxious.
Bro when you fired up that big block, hell yeah I was laughing so hard
Can see myself rounding up livestock on top that trike. Gidday from Melbourne stage 4 lockdown Australia.
Are you sure Comrade Dan would want you on here enjoying yourself !? Ha ha ha
To hell with lockdowns. It's time for this lunacy to end.
6:45 - Best David Spade impression I’ve heard in a while!
I love Boss Hoss. Never owned one, I cannot afford it but sure as hell I would love the possibility to buy one.
That chocolate milk look had me laughing my ass off
I get that look regularly and for the same reason!
I just realized us boys never grow up and our wives see us as children.
Uh, what's that old saying, Oh Yeah; "The only difference between men and boys are the price of their toys!!!".
And the tolerance of the wife. LOL 😂
@@stephenbrown571 amen@that i know im a hot mess.
And your problem with that is what ???
I'm a 68 year old grandma, I ride a Dyna, and I want to check out a Boss Hoss. Move over boys, I'm coming through.
I love the "nnyeuuugh" every time he accelerates lol
I laughed every time.
I don't have much experience with the Boss Hoss, but I did have some friends who owned them. One had the 350, I think there were 2 400 cu in and one had a 500 block. The gas tanks held I was told on the 500, it had an 11 gal tank. Also claimed it was a 706 hp. We all were on a ride from the Pentagon to the WTC site. The issue was the 500 with its gas milage. Seems that bike only got like 8 or 9 mpg. So, in a group of over 2500 motorcycles, our small group had to pull over so that Boss Hoss could refuel. Then we had to try to catch up to the group. We had to ride along the shoulder to do that since a large group of motorcycles caused a freakin large back up of cars. We managed to do that a few times, once we were able to catch up on a scheduled refuel for most of the bikes that needed it. Also, if you decide to buy a Boss Hoss, you are looking at over 1000 lbs to pick up if you drop it. Something to consider.
One of my friend had second-degree burns from a crash on a boss hoss. Nayway he is still riding his beast.
I’d hate to get into a dangerous situation where I had to stop fast on that heavy thing. I wonder if they have antilock brakes.
I cant wait to see a heliphant on a bike. That would be a crazy ride.
Yes we need one with a mopar engine
i’m not a mopar guy, but thatd be absolutely insane
Look up the Dodge Tomahawk 🙂
@@racinjason99 that's a car
@@dietznutz1,
Tomahawk. That's a Motorcycle sitting on 4 wheels.
the flame when you tared the big block
Brain child of Monte Warne, out of Tennessee, worked a short time at Lawrenceville Ga. Boss Hoss. My friend designed the emblem . I remember that red, white ,and blue machine.the paint jobs generally totally unique, bike to bike.
