WestTexasS2K Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Kevin and I had thought about doing this about 6 months ago. I guess we were a little late with our idea.

WestTexasS2K Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Bob that is pretty sharp. It certianly is much lower and lighter than the Shredder. But it is still powered by a Harley engine. I would have to ditch the harley engine and go with a Ducati or something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDrye Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Mazda: 6 liters vs 1.3 liters. What size rear tires and type of rear tires are you going to use? :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Bob, the Boss is using a P225/70R15. Definitely not enough tire. Boss is more of a statement than a performance bike. Still, I'd like to see a 100-140 race For now, I'm going to stick with P305/35R18 (yes, two of them :lol: ), since that's the size on my vette. When the time comes to get specific wheels for the Rotus, I'll probably go down to 17", or maybe even 16" rims. I do have enough room on the inside to go to 335's in the back. I will stick with R compound tires. I can't see myself spending 2 grand on slicks that will last one season and can't be used on the road. I will go with Toyo RA1's, or R888s if my sizes come out. BTW, I saw an article somewhere that said the Boss does the quarter in 10.4 seconds. I might be able to give that a run. Busa is solidly in the 9's, so you'll have to deal with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I never heard of a Boss Hoss before so I did a search and found this on their website. I just don't know what to say... http://www.bosshoss.net/images/BIKES_TRIKES/BHC9ZZ4/BHC9ZZ4_13.jpg http://www.bosshoss.net/images/BIKES_TRIKES/BHC9ZZ4/BHC9ZZ4_11.jpg -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandurath Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I rode a buddy of mines a while back, and one of the projects on my to do list is building a v8 chopper. They are cruisers, not generally racers. Though, one that won rats hole a few years back was pushing 850 hp. I imagine if you could get it stick, it would fly. Few things sould like a lumpy cammed v8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusaLoco Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I should think that from a purely technical point of view the electric bike would be faster. ... but equally silly! and Deadly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
