This was the first high-powered motorcycle that was for cruising. In the last 28 years, the company has grown with two- and three-wheeled motorcycles. In 2006, Boss Hoss Cycles received full vehicle-type approval from the European Commission. The company is the only company recognized globally as a V8 motorcycle manufacturer. One thing that is special about Boss Moss motorcycles is the low vibration. With the size and power, they are less vibrational when compared to single cylinder bikes. Extra cylinders combined with the tall gears of the transmission creates a damper. All the bikes feature a semi-automatic transmission. It makes it easy and enjoyable to ride.

Advertise your inventory with us. None of these words aptly describes the 2007 ZZ4 Super Sport Boss Hoss I am riding across bits of Missouri and Arkansas this chilly October day. Standard also doesn’t describe the grin that breaks out on my face with every blip of the throttle. It’s as wide as the Mississippi River just disappearing below, and emanates from deep down in the 355-horsepower General Motors V-8 that I straddle, thankful for every degree of heat radiating off its chrome and stainless-steel fittings. After all, both vehicles put out about the same horsepower, and the very unrestricted exhaust on the Hoss would give any modern-day big rig a run for the most decibels. Boss Hoss models destined for California and export have catalytic converters and longer pipes to better contain the snarl. No clutch needed on this semi-automatic. All worked well and meshed with the styling of the bike. Because morning temps were in the high 30s, I was wearing heavy gloves, which proved clumsy in operating the small turn-signal buttons. Slightly above the large and centrally mounted speedometer are gauges for water temperature, oil pressure, volts and engine rpm. The small tachometer was out of my normal scan but it’s a non-issue on this bike. The billet grips with rubber inserts blend with the styling, but I found them slippery when wearing heavy gloves. You can start the bike on the sidestand, but it’s better to do so with both feet on the ground to get the full torque effect. Lifting it off the sidestand is surprisingly easy. You can leave the Hoss in drive to about 100 mph, if you like, or shift down into overdrive at any time. Recommended procedure is to get the bike to desired cruising speed, then shift. Revs drop around 1,000 rpm when engaging overdrive, great for fuel mileage, and up- and downshifts were smooth. Drive is by a wide Gates belt, with an easy and unique manual tension adjustment. The Avon Venom motorcycle tires used on the ZZ4 work well, and after a short ride through downtown Dyersburg and turns around a parking lot the machine felt almost natural. I cautiously used the throttle, building up speed from 55 to 60, 65, and then to the 70-mph speed limit. Our test bike had no windscreen (both a quick-release windscreen and an upper fairing are available as touring options) and the combination of a wide handlebar, slippery grips and windblast created a sensation of just hanging on. Over the two days I rode the Hoss, stops were made for gasoline and warmth, but never because of saddle soreness. A small passenger seat pad attaches quickly and served as a mount for my gear. The SS model needs better attachment points for tiedowns if it is to be used for touring, and it has no compartments to stash a wallet, sunglasses or gloves. Thankfully, this Hoss bucked the trend of many cruisers and had footpegs instead of floorboards. Aftermarket trailer hitches are available and the Hoss would make an awesome towing machine. Its average fuel economy was just short of 23 mpg. I jumped railroad tracks (KA-BOOM) and backed it across slippery grass lawns. The grin became a grimace only when traversing rough roads, and expansion joints in concrete highways were felt front and rear, but it’s no harsher than several other big-bore cruisers. I whoa’d it down from 50 mph at a changing stoplight using only front brake and it stopped quickly, without complaint, but that’s a lot of inertia and a gentle application of both brakes works just fine. Heck, I don’t know! The speedo tops out at 120 mph and the Boss Hoss folks aren’t saying. The 355-horsepower version is so powerful that it’s hard to contemplate the 502-horse option. There is also a high-lift cam kit available as a factory install, and many dealers modify the engines for even more power. I rode two motorcycles prior to the Hoss test, a Yamaha V-Max and a Honda VTX1800, neither slouches in power and torque. My impression was that either bike’s chance against the BH would be about that of a pack mule winning the Kentucky Derby! A wide bar and tank but low seat height make it easy to straddle. Growing up in that era (’67 GTO), I think they’re right on. If you have a SS 396, GTO or Shelby 350 tattoo, a test ride on a BH should bring back old memories. The factory and 25 Boss Hoss dealers understand that potential owners need to ride before they buy. The company’s major advertising thrust is the Boss Hoss Road Show, a yearly 30-stop tour complete with a trailer of Boss Hoss two-wheelers and trikes. If you are 30 years of age and have a valid motorcycle license, you qualify to ride. The Boss Hoss website ( www.bosshoss.com ) has a schedule and dealer contact information, and lets you spec out a model online. Though expensive compared to mortal bikes, the Hoss seems a bargain compared to many custom- built machines that are much less rider friendly. Most buyers are well heeled and purchase the BH instead of a fancy boat or sports car. The majority of Boss Hosses leave the factory at a semi-finished stage, awaiting further customization by the dealer. The fastest-growing portion of the company’s business is trikes, and those prices are little higher than much less-powerful models sold by competitors. Boss Hoss trikes carry the same one-year unlimited mileage warranty as the two-wheelers. Seventeen years of production have refined the Hoss from a gargantuan traffic stopper into a well-functioning machine that gets thumbs up from those of an age to have muscle-car memories when they see it pass or hear it roar.

That exactly describes the motorcycle company Harley Davidson. Ever since starting in 1903, Harley Davidson has grown rapidly and has been able to stay on top of the American motorcycle scene with its loyal following that continues to this day. Despite over a century of success, Harley has started faltering with the rise of imports from Japan and Europe, an aging demographic, and the great recession. He worked with his friend Arthur Davidson and his brother Walter Davidson and finished it in 1903. While more of a prototype than anything it was a good base to quickly refine on. Limited sales continued until a factory was built in 1906 and Harley Davidson became incorporated in 1907. Many liked Harley’s for its reliable and powerful V-twin engine that beat every other engine on the market. From there production would only increase to where they built over 16,000 machines in 1914. And with USA’s inclement in WWI contracts for Harley Davidson motorcycles came in from Uncle Sam and Harley Davidson was more than happy to oblige, selling over 20,000 motorcycles for the war effort. Everything was going well until t he Great Depression devastated the US economy. While sales were cut by almost 75 Harley managed to survive by manufacturing power plants and simple motorcycle designs. In 1936, the legendary Knucklehead engine was introduced with overhead valves and a dry sump oil systems, both revolutions at the time. Harley Davidson and Indian were the only two motorcycle companies to survive the Great Depression. With the rise of WWII orders from the government came rolling in again and Harley Davidson ended up producing around 30,000 motorcycles. Once they started producing more civilian motorcycles they started growing again with young adults coming home from war wanting to purchase something that offered fun and freedom. And that’s exactly what the Harley Davidson motorcycle resembled. In fact, in 1953 Indian motorcycles closed its doors giving Harley a monopoly on domestic produced motorcycles. And Harley Davidson even took its company public in 1965. Harley was able to push through until the mid 1960s where it saw lower profits and decided to merge with American Machine and Foundry (AMF) in 1969. Once the gas crisis hit in the early 1970s, people started to buy these expensive toys less and instead had their attention drawn by the small and economical cars from Japan and Germany. In fact, in 1981 things were going so badly that Harley executives bought the company back from AMF. Just surviving the great recession and with a growing demographic Harley has started introducing more cafe racer style bikes. Along with this they have just released an all electric bike called the Livewire. Only time will tell if the motorcycle manufacture can capture that freedom that caused so many to buy them before, or if motorcycles are a dying machine in the age of growing safety and more technological based vehicles. While we strongly agree with the perks and benefits, not to mention creativity that can be found with vinyl wrapping your bike, we are also quite big fans of paint protection film.
