I was driving home from work on 523 and when a looked in my rearview I noticed that the bike behind me had a huge radiator behind the forks... I knew right away what it was and pulled to the side at an intersection so he could pass- sure enough, it was a Boss Hoss 502. Definetly unique and an attention getter but a bit funky looking with the radiator and huge fuel tank.

Don't matter how heavy that bitch is, the rear tire on that thing is so fat you will never have to worry about dropping the bike unless you're a total dumbass. I think the base model is a 235/65r whatever. If you drop this bike, you don't deserve to breed.

And lets just say it isn't geared properly LOL.

All that aside- it obviously is designed and made for one purpose- "Look at me". It wasn't built for performance, it was built for style, attention, and to be different. Kind of like building up a V6... :D
