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 inch (5.7 liters) to 502 cubic inch (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.〔http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/roadtests/boss_hoss_v8/〕 , Boss Hoss has sold over 4,000 vehicles.〔http://www.americanrider.com/output.cfm?id=1106983〕 Boss Hoss bikes and trikes are noted not only for their enormous 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".〔http://www.wildrosefarmandauto.com/bh/bosshoss.html〕 Despite their size, power and weight Boss Hoss motorcycles offer outstanding ride comfort and driving dynamics. For example the build quality as well as the driving dynamics were cited as follows: "The build quality is comparable to some other major manufacturers' products, and the bike functions far better than we ever expected, and reasonably well by any criteria. The motorcycle is not only fun to ride, it's easy to ride. The automatic transmission may actually make it easier to ride for some people than other big bikes.〔http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/1998-boss-hoss-riding-v-8-motorcycle〕 many people think that the torque thrust of the engine would make it difficult to handle but actually if you crack the throttle it is completely gone; straight line only . ==Products== Boss Hoss offers motorcycles and trikes equipped with either a small block or big block V8 engine. Both are equipped with a semi-automatic transmission with reverse. They also offer a number of accessories for their bikes and trikes. Despite a car-sized fuel tank, the bikes only get motorcycle-like distance on a single tank, due to maximum fuel economy for the small block and maximum fuel economy for the big block. The trikes have an additional of reserve. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boss Hoss Cycles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
