I'm assuming it's just a fantasy and will never actually hit the road right? How do the LEO's pull that over?

That is some sissy bike. Now you want power do a www search for Boss Hoss. Thier smallest bike as pictured here uses a V8 350 Corvette LT1 engine at 345 HP they go up to the 454 Chev. and 502 Cadilac engine then add Nitros injection as an option.

Oh yea? How about this one...And it IS street legal!
[img]http://www.marineturbine.com/superbike/bikesidefastinnov.jpg[/img] "The Y2K is the world's first turbine powered street legal motorcycle of its type, powered by a Rolls Royce Allison gas turbine engine running on diesel fuel, the Y2K has demonstrated over 300 horsepower and 425 ft/lbs of torque on the Dyno Jet 200."

"I was sitting at a traffic light," Leno says in slightly hushed tones. "I looked in my rear-view mirror and saw this Infinity car bumper kind of fold in on itself. I thought, 'Oh jeez, let's just pull away from here...'" [url]http://popularmechanics.com/automotive/sub_coll_leno/2001/8/recycled_jet_setter/[/url] |

Cool, a turbine powered bike! But an 8.5 gallon tank and a 50 mile range? Jezz...

It's no BMW! Lots of BossHoss's down here, especially during Bike Week. I haven't seen any BH's doing burnouts at the bars though [;D]

I would bet there is a bit of a difference in cornering ability between the Boss and the rice burner though?

What good is a bike that you can't even carry your ol' lady on the back??
Seen on a biker friend's helmet: "If you can read this, the bitch must have fell off". Seriously, I don't have the self restraint to own a fast bike. I don't have the sense not to go as fast as possible, and would die within a few short miles. Might order a new HD Fat Boy next year though..... |

Buddy of mine rides (daily) a Suzuki GSXR 750 that is turbocharged and intercooled. The one and only time we took it to the track, it went 9.71 at 152mph with me on board (he doesn't have an NHRA Comp. Drivers License, I do) on a radial with no wheelie bar. The bike retains its stock swingarm. That bike is quite a rush.

I wish I'd had a camera last summer.
This guy had taken a Chevy 350 and mounted it on a Hawg frame. |

Yeah, it's nice and pretty. And I'm sure extremely fast... but I prefer a bike I can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride and the scenery. That's what Harley's were made for (unless you hopped-up your Sportster or bought one of those new V-Rods).
Edited because my fingers are still greasy from putting new tires on my bike and repacking the wheel bearings... causing me to misspell words. |

Fuuny thing is that's better looking than the current Busa.
There have been turbo/FI kits out for the ZX-11 for many years now that have had Bored/stroked ZXs putting out 450HP...insane power, they say anything over 250HP is pretty much unstreetable. BrenLover |

My '85 Vmax seems anemic after looking at those bikes...but it's in the garage and bought and paid for. Now if only if it were summer outside!

There's also a turbo kit for the Hayabusa that bumps it to about 240 hp.

BOSS HOSS.
[url]http://www.bosshosscountry.com/[/url] Can you think of anything more American than a big-ass V-8 on two wheels? Mine would be flat black and I'd ask to use the AR15.com logo. This'd be more fun than the RoadGlide I lust after. Yeah, baby! |
