My mates bike, 5.3litre v 8 boss hoss, i want one.

[Thom]

I dont like it.

It won't go round corners,
It won't be that fast, even compared to my Divvy,
It'll be heavy,
It'll drink fuel like a drink cider,
It looks like every other cruiser,
It's likely never ridden,
And it's probably a pig to stop.

Whats the appeal, is it just because its slightly different or am i missing something?

but other than that your right really. Not really my thing i wouldn't mind a go for a little play around on but there no way i could live with one.

But if your happy with it and thats what you think will attract the guys who am i to judge.

Ok so its faster than the divvy, but its not like the ninja was going flat out at the point it passed the camera either

Sorry i just dont like cruisers.

Admittedly I do like some cruisers, but this one's trying too hard with the silly size engine. A mid-sized (600-1000) Japanese cruiser will have similar power to weight ratio as the stupid sized one's, and just as much everything else. I wouldn't mind a vn900 or a dragstar 650, so long as I also owned a maneuverable bike, but it would only be pointing out how small my penis was if I were to buy a Boss Hoss or a Rocket III.

I must confess the engine i like.

In the video it spins up the rear wheel something rotten.

[STONEY!]

The question is have you ridden a rocket 3?

I wouldnt have touched one for the life of me prior to riding one but now I really would quite like one (not saying it'd be my first choice but I would have one )

They handle surprisingly well and are a lot light to ride than I ever expected (bear in mind im not a big fella at 9stone) I found myself hurtling round roundabouts sparks flying from the pegs no problem

Not tried the boss hoss so cant comment

[Fahd]

Awesome stuff. I normally hate choppers but this is an exception for me, mostly because the engine is just so over the top and they sound amazing.

To the Divvy rider, in terms of speed that bike would shit on yours.

Saw one up at Box a couple of weeks back.

Made an 'interesting' noise.

Boss Hoss handle? Erm....no.

I'm loving the chap in the Danger Mouse t-shirt, I recon that's his spiderman ped in the background...
