Boss Hoss Cycles is creating a stir with the sleek BHC-3 502, named for
the displacement of its powerful General Motors big-block engine. The BHC-3 502
produces an astounding 502 hp and 567 ft lbs of torque. You might think that all
this power would make it awkward to ride, but the BHC-3 502’s low center of
gravity provides exceptional balance and maneuvering capabilities. “Once anyone
takes a ride, they realize that the clutch-free Boss Hoss handles and maneuvers
as well as most bikes half its size,” says says Rad Hunsley, the company’s COO.
The bike’s upturned telescoping front end and dual rear coil-over shocks
smooth the rider’s journey, and race-inspired weight distribution means every
ounce of the BHC-3 502 works together to improve handling. You might never
realize that you are driving a half-ton machine. The two-speed, semi-automatic
transmission with a real reverse makes riding this 1,300-pound bike a
cinch—first gear will take you all the way to 100 mph; you can regard second as
overdrive. And with an 8.5-gallon fuel tank, 502 riders can cruise for
approximately 130 uninterrupted miles. Fill’er up and go!
