300-800hp isnt good for anything but bragging rites when your roasting the tire off going 12 mph..

You accidentally drop that thing and youre calling a tow truck. No way youre picking it back up again. Power is cool but 500?? Come on. Unless youre drag racing I personally cant ever wanting more than about 150. Whats the point?

I think its LOTS uglier than the Boss Hoss. And is there really enough market share for another V-8 motor bike company? I would be really scared in starting one up right now.
No pun intended.

Other than bragging right to those who would care, what problem is this solving?

Solves the problem for those that want to pull a camper trailer rv on their ride to Sturgis.

That would be hilarious a bike pulling a trailer with a car or a rv
