Boss Hoss Cycles is a US motorcycle manufacturer founded by Monte Warne in 1990 and based in Dyersburg, Tennessee.

Overview

The company manufactures extraordinarily large displacement motorcycles and motorized tricycles with 376 to 496 cu in (6,160 to 8,130 cm3) Chevrolet V8 engines, and semi-automatic transmissions.[1][2] By the mid-1990s, Boss Hoss was selling 300 vehicles per year.[3] As of 2006[update], Boss Hoss has sold over 4,000 vehicles.[4]

Boss Hoss motorcycles' and tricycles' mass has a vibration damping effect, which combined with having eight engine cylinders and the very tall gears of the semi-automatic transmission results in what has been described as "vibration-free acceleration".[5][6][7]
