Boss Hoss: World's most powerful production motorcycle

Most powerful "Production Motorcycle":

The GSX1300R Hayabusa ? Kawasaki 14R ? The Triumph iii Rocket?
Well yeah these are fast and powerful machines but the big daddy of all production motorcycles is the lesser known Boss Hoss. If you have never heard about it, good for you cause this is something that will freak you out.

Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc. was established in 1990 when Monte Warne, the founder and president of Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc., created his first Chevy V-8 powered motorcycle in his 5000 square foot shop in Dyersburg, TN. Monte, a commercial aircraft pilot and degreed Aviation Airframe and Power plant technician, was the first to design a V-8 powered motorcycle that has a traditional cruiser motorcycle style, look and feel.

Over the past seventeen years Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc. has grown from its humble beginnings in Monte’s shop to a 22,000 square foot manufacturing facility. Boss Hoss has continued to broaden and expand the V8 motorcycling horizons. In January of 2006 Boss Hoss motorcycles and manufacturing facility received full vehicle type-approval from the European Commission (EC), effectively making Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc. the only globally approved V8 motorcycle manufacturer.
