Boss Hoss 502 (http://www.bosshoss.com/images/PRODUCTS/two_on.jpg)

502 HP on a bike.... that is fucking insane!! :eek:

has anyone had a chance to ride one?? i'd like to know how the hell you would hang on!!

[Labora]

There was on up at kellers awhile ago. Looked cool. I'd like to see it race a real sport bike from a stop thou.

[Red93Notch]

I friend of mine back in Florida had one.. He was a total psycho and didn't have the balls to take it to it's limits. That bike has an unreal top end..

[barronj]

I thought that was the cubic" # and not the hp rating... I dunno

Sounds outlandish either way ( but I don't know squat about what can be done w/a 454 (bore and stroke) and I guess it's conceivable.)

I saw an orange one once about 4 years ago when I was at the Hula Hut on Lake Austin, and it looked cooler in person than that attatched pic...

i have seen one at lake texoma, and they sound mean as shit, but that has to be one heavy mother

500hp sounds outlandish for a bbc?? That wouldnt be hard to do at all.

Those things are for people to brag about and thats about it. Yeah, they are kinda neat but they have to handle like crap. I just cannot see it being that enjoyable to ride like a normal bike. Who knows though.

[openroadracer3]

this guy that owns it lives in Heath and he owns Lonestar Forklift in garland. i was at a party at house saturday night. the guy had Rusty Wier playing live. for those that don't know, Rusty Wier is a texas music legend that is from austin. i think i drained the margerita machine!! :D

[Chrm10SPkZ28]

my uncle just sold his, he had an '04, loud as hell but sounded mean as hell. he said he used to give guys on "crotch rockets" a few second head starts from stand stills and he said he still dusted their ass. My uncle is one of those guys who has enough money that he is getting a new car every 2-3 months. he has a lot of bad ass toys and i believe him. they go from 0-100 in 2.xx seconds

i'm curious about the traction it gets or doesn't get when he goes from a stop. did he say anything about that??

[Super Coupe]

500 hp at 1300 pounds would smoke most crotch rockets.

[barronj]

500 horsepower on a 2 wheeler is what I have a hard time getting my head around. Not the hp/cubic inch part.

What's a 'busa or a gixxer have? 1/2 that?

[Lason]

Yeah there was a pic I saw on the net a while back of a small block bike with a 6-71 blower coming up and the tank wrapped around it. Looked scarey just sitting there but it couldnt have been comfortable to ride.

[SOLOW55]

They may go,but they don't stop for shit. I seen a guy in Mansfield a few years back going about 10 mph and a car stopped I guess 3 car lenths in front of him. I seen him pull the brake and stomped the rear and still rear ended the car.Didn't damage either it was just funny as hell.

[bucky]

I met Alonzo Spellman out at Whataburger in like 2001 on one of those.He jumped on it leaving the parking lot and it seemed to run pretty good.Definately a different looking bike especially with some 6'8" black dude on it.
