Boss Hoss Cycles is an American motorcycle manufacturer,
founded by Monte Warne in 1990 and based in Dyersburg, Tennessee. The
company manufactures special high performance motorcycles and trikes equipped
with V8 engines, produced by Chevrolet, ranging in size from 350
cubic inches (5.7 liters) to 502 cubic inches (8.2 liters), equipped with semi-automatic
transmissions, making them by far the most powerful motorcycles in the world.
By the mid-1990s, Boss Hoss was selling 300 vehicles per year. As of 2006, Boss
Hoss has sold over 4,000 vehicles.
Boss Hoss bikes and trikes are noted not only for
their power and size but also for their low vibration, especially when compared
to that of V-twin or single cylinder motorcycles. The damping effect
of the unusually great mass and relatively high number of engine cylinders
combines with the very tall gears of the semi-automatic transmission to provide
what is often described as vibration free acceleration. This has
led some dealers and riders to affectionately describe the Boss Hoss as a big scooter. Despite their
size, power and weight, Boss Hoss motorcycles offer good ride comfort and
driving dynamics.
