A Boss Hoss motorcycle

Boss Hoss bikes and trikes are noted not only for their power and size but also for their low vibration, especially when compared to that of V-twin or single-cylinder motorcycles. The damping effect of the unusually great mass and relatively high number of engine cylinders combines with the very tall gears of the semi-automatic transmission to provide what is often described as "vibration-free acceleration". This has led some dealers and riders to affectionately describe the Boss Hoss as a "big scooter".[3] Despite their size, power and weight, Boss Hoss motorcycles offer good ride comfort and driving dynamics.[4]
