In latest issue of AM magazine is a rider report by Chris Maida on one of 3 bikes made by Sabertooth motorcycles called the Wildcat. One badass bike! If I have peaked your curosity, it has a Ford V-8 engine, top speed is 170. Their web site is: www.sabertoothmotorcycles.com

 

Nice indeed. I wonder how Boss Hoss feels about them though.

 

the look nice,,, but a ford? i know,,, to each his own,, Hoss's latest competition is more from the V8 Choppers Motorcycles and there are getting to be more and more switching to them. They are one speed bikes. http://v8choppers.com/

Another extremely nice V8 bike is Vanquish. http://www.vanquishv8.com/
Mike Kelly is building a 632 Donovan Aluminum Big Block that looks wild. From my understanding Vanquish uses an actual modified powerglide transmission that is as they say indestructible.

That was really cool when Boss Hoss started the whole thing...Looks like a copy to me..

 

Looks like a Boss Hoss for the Blue Oval crowd. You can get anything you want for enough money. I've seen a few Boss Hoss bikes and I always ask my self why. Last one I saw, I talked to the owner. It had a big block Chevy motor and looked good but at full wick you would light up the rear tire even at 120mph. So the point is ?

 

It's just another " Hey, look at me, I've got the biggest and baddest one". Whatever . A lightweight 600cc sport bike would eat it's lunch since you can't get enough traction to fully use the power.

 

You're right, carpetride. In the AI article Chris Maida was talking about when ever he stopped for gas or whatever, where was always a crowd looking at it. Whoooeee, look at me & my badass bike. It's an ego trip bike, not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

Wrong, when you twist that throttle you better be hanging on because that rear tire, if it is anything like the Boss, will hook right up and away you go if you are still attached. Granted, they won't hang in the twisties but they sure will launch in a straight line.

 

They took the youtube vid down, but it was a Boss Hoss vs a zx12, it wasn't even close. They raced two or three times and the zx was nearly halfway before the Boss got traction. The smoke was pretty impressive.

 

If you look at this clip, the ZX-12 was no where near half way and something went really wrong with the launch for that Boss.
