Boss Hoss motorcycles are an international phenomenon and a benchmark of American craftsmanship. No other production motorcycle offers the same combination of:
- The nostalgia and mystique of a classic cruiser.
- Balance, comfort, and reliability on par with the finest touring bikes.
- The dependability and serviceability of a Chevy V8 engine.
- 3-4 times the power of any other production bike in the world.
Experience a Boss Hoss to discover it's not a monster, but the ultimate motorcycle. Engineered for total performance, its low center of gravity and even weight distribution ensure easy handling and smooth tracking through curves and city streets.
The 2-Speed Semi-Automatic Transmission with reverse offers smooth, clutch-free operation and makes maneuvering in tight spaces easier.
