And this week's offering...

[AD345]

Continuing our occasional series of "out there" bikes we have this interestingly styled Boss Hog:

[AD345]

Haven't been able to find out much about it but it seems the motor may be a GM 364 LS2 engine putting out around 425 HP

[The Lone Rider]

.. that would be Boss Hoss

and a lot of them are painted up with themes. Of the 4-6 of them at the Ashburton Rally, flame job and old WW2 bomber paint jobs come to mind at the moment.

[Big Dave]

I'd sure like to try one.

Not so sure dude. I snapped this in Ashburton, it's a 502ci big block. Both machines look to have identical valve cover bolt arrangements. My guess is big block.

[AD345]

Ok

So...

Boss Hoss - not Hog. Gottit

Big block not small block. Gottit

I too really really wanna try one

I believe this offers a very similar experience:

If you get to ride either, I'm sure it will make an entertaing read. On second thoughts this may be a job better suited to Moroney.... :lol:

Google 'seems' to indicate it has a 502.

A fine looking bike indeed and this heavily-modded one is a superb example - I looked it over carefully when it first appeared on TradeMe last year. Regretfully passed it by due to the necessity to pull a clutch... compared to the (potentially less robust) drivetrain of the BH which has a 2-stage semi-auto excellent in traffic. That said, the latest 2008 BH transmission mods appear to have solved many of the trans woes of the past.

Love the Boss Hoss bikes...of the local ones this one has to be my favorite...

[RDJ]

Brian Ford's bike! Yep, that is state of the BH Art.

I just like the way it looks compered to the boss but in sayin that I do like the boss & with the 2spd it must be a bit easyer to control all that power

Something from our friends across the ditch this week

Standing 10 feet tall and weighing 13 tonnes it is one way to establish "road presence"

Note the lack of a side stand
