Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc. was established in 1990 when Monte
Warne, the founder and president of Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc.,
created his first Chevy V-8 powered motorcycle in his 5000
square foot shop in Dyersburg, TN. Monte, a commercial aircraft
pilot and degreed Aviation Airframe and Power plant technician,
was the first to design a V-8 powered motorcycle that has a
traditional cruiser motorcycle style, look and feel. This was
accomplished by his unique approach to the motorcycles single
speed (one gear) transmission design. The right angle drive
transmission allows the length of the bike to be kept to a
minimum and the engine-mounting inline with the frame made for a
well-balanced design that is unequaled by any other V-8 powered
motorcycles.
Over the past seventeen years Boss Hoss Cycles,
Inc. has grown from its humble beginnings in Monte’s shop to a 22,000 square
foot manufacturing facility. The product line has also grown from the
conventional two-wheeled motorcycle to include three wheeled vehicles commonly
referred to as trikes.
The product has seen significant improvements over the
years through the R&D efforts of Boss Hoss Cycles’ in house engineering
personnel and specialty contractors. Features like a 2-speed transmission with
reverse, inverted front suspension, vacuum formed body panels, investment cast
structural frame components, and many other specially designed components have
helped improve the rigidity and ride of the Boss Hoss motorcycles.
Boss Hoss has continued to broaden and expand the V8 motorcycling horizons. In
January of 2006 Boss Hoss motorcycles and manufacturing facility received full
vehicle type-approval from the European Commission (EC), effectively making Boss
Hoss Cycles, Inc. the only globally approved V8 motorcycle manufacturer. At the
release of the 2007 model production in August of 2006, Boss Hoss once again put
the motorcycling world on its toes with the introduction of the new Boss Hoss
Super Sport model. The Super Sport is the first new model design by Boss Hoss
since the release of the 502 model in 2000. The lower seat height, shorter
wheelbase and increased suspension travel, makes it feel like you’re part of the
Super Sport... not just on it. This latest creation from Boss Hoss was designed
to attract a wider range of motorcycle enthusiasts. In the true innovative
spirit that brought the Boss Hoss to life, these dream machines will continue to
astonish the most diehard motorcyclist.
Boss Hoss motorcycles are becoming an
international phenomenon, as well as a benchmark of America caftsmanship. No
other production motorcycle in the world brings as much to the road as a Boss
Hoss:
- All the nostalgia and mystique of a classic cruiser
- Balance, comfort and reliability on par with the finest import touring bikes
- The dependability and serviceability of a Chevy V8
- 3 - 4 times the power of any other production bike in the world... period.
You have to experience a Boss Hoss for yourself to realize it's not a monster on
two wheels... it's the ultimate motorcycle.
Every Boss Hoss is engineered for
total performance, not just speed. Anyone into performance knows that all the
power in the world is useless if it's unwieldy, unmanageable and unsafe. Every
Boss Hoss is engineered for total performance.
Control-designed low centre of gravity makes the Boss Hoss easy to handle.
And its Race-bike inspired weight distribution formula makes every ounce of the
Boss Hoss work together for smoother, more controlled tracking of curves and
city streets compared to many bikes half its size.
2-Speed Automatic
Transmission (with reverse) gives you smooth, clutch-free operation. And with
reverse, you have far fewer worries about tight spaces than with many other
prodution cruisers or touring bikes.
Even the Boss Hoss's extended wheel-base
was engineered for more than just good looks. The ride height and length also
work to ensure that all that power goes where it belongs... straight ahead.
