[SVT666]

That's cool.  But when does it stop being a bike and become a car.

[Onslaught]

Interesting. Not sure if I like those rims however. They look kind of cheap on that thing.

[rohan]

If I ever have a terminal disease this is how I intend going out- on or in something that is so fast that when it crashes the world just goes "Wow that was awesome!"

[Byteme]

Kind of slow.


Boss Hoss



502 cuin Chevy engine. Does the quarter in about 10.4 at 140 mph.  0-60 anywere from 2.0 to 2.4 depending on who you believe.

Oh man with that I could die in style and still do it fast.  That thing is just sick!  I love the car tire on the back.

Anyone know anyone with a Boss Hoss? My friend's dad has one, but I've never had a chance to check it out.

I saw one on the highway last summer if that counts.

My dad's friend had one with a 502 but sold it in order to build himself a race car.  There are many 700ft burnouts on my street from that thing.

[FoMoJo]

It's a car with handlebars .

I've seen the Boss Hoss before, but since motorcycles fall down on their own, and those have car tires on the rear that don't allow for normal motorcycle corerning very well, they aren't very fun to use before they up and kill you. I'd think that the Brimstone would at least make the attempt at being fun to ride before your death sentence was delivered...  

Looks like fun. Was wondering about the choice of wheels, myself, but they are old school hot rod, which is the vibe they were going after (note the grille).

[S204STi]

BFG Sports eh?  Talk about cheapin' out.

I'd stick different rubber on that thing myself, and I bet it would improve its ETA by doing so.

What do you think Chris?  Do those tires have a good rep in the sporting world?

[MX793]

How much fuel does it hold?  My guess is it doesn't have much range with an engine that big and a fuel tank not much better than a touring bike.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I'll forgo the speedy road ATV of death, and take the cool cruiser.

They're good tires. I have them on the Z.

[S204STi]

Cool.  Good price, too.

[giant_mtb]

They need to get a backrest on the seat for the Brimstone.  With that sorta power, it'd be fuckin' hard to hang on, steer, and throttle that baby.

I'm getting them for my Focus in the spring.

+1, there are bikes on the market with a similar power/weight ratio that don't rip your arms off.

Yes, I have a friend that had one with athe 350 engine.  Looked and sounded awesome.

[Loro]

I like it better than this V10 powered death

[the Teuton]

Can anyone confirm how many Tomahawks Chrysler really made and at what price they were sold? I had heard something like $200,000 apiece.

To be honest, I'll bet that the tires on it do a damn fine job of breaking loose instead of gripping and causing the thing to pop a wheelie and flip over. Which would just be icing on the cake: grab a handful of throttle and it rears up, flips over and pounds you into the ground. 

[omicron]

Yes, I'd probably be flung into the scenery at four million miles per hour and killed.

But think of the entertainment value for the spectators.

Ah, excellent point.
