Re: Motorcycle wish list... 3 Years, 1 Month ago  
While I don't think I'd want to own one - I'd love to take the new Triumph Rocket III out for a spin.  The grin factor is supposed to be pretty huge on this bike. ;D

i think i would go for the ktm super duke and a v-rod. but unfrotunatly in the real world i think im gonna buy a drz 400s.<br />the triumph rocket III would rock but while i was at it i might as well try one of those bikes with the small block chevys in it. that would be nuts.

Re: Motorcycle wish list... 3 Years, 1 Month ago  
You mean the &quot;Boss Hoss&quot;.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been on one at Sturgis. The owner of the company is out of Texas and had his version of the Boss Hoss there as well.&nbsp; He&#039;d taken the 600 ci engine from a Corvette and THEN dumped $30K US to enhance the engine.&nbsp; Apparently, his bike generated around 700HP and could light the rear tire up going up the mountain to Mt. Rushmore (better than a 12 percent grade for those who haven&#039;t been there).<br /><br />I&#039;ve got pictures of some of the Boss Hoss bikes at home including the owners.

Re: Motorcycle wish list... 3 Years, 1 Month ago  
Am I missing something? Wouldn&#039;t it be easier to spin a tire while going up hill?<br /><br />I&#039;m not saying that thing doesn&#039;t have mad power, but I think that any bike would be more likely to spin a tire while going up hill than on a flat surface or a downgrade.&nbsp; I never took physics but I think that would be right..no?

<br /><br />You are right in that its easier to start to spin a tire going uphill.&nbsp; Then when the tire starts to catch traction and the torque required to move the bike up a mountain kicks in, you slow down fairly fast.&nbsp; What I meant was he was able to lay black rubber down almost the entire ride up - slightly over a kilometer- or at least until his tire went BOOM - whichever happened first.&nbsp; The guy had more torque in his bike than most pickup trucks.&nbsp; <br /><br />His power to weight ratio on this bike is slightly better than a Suzuki Hyabusa AND he has WAY more of the power available on the low end.&nbsp; I&#039;m not saying a Hyabusa couldn&#039;t dust him over the long haul, aerodynamics and a more sustainable high rpm - just that this bikes pickup would be unbelievable.

Re: Motorcycle wish list... 3 Years, 1 Month ago  
This is the Triumph I was talking about.&nbsp; Again, wouldn&#039;t want to own one even if money was no object, but I&#039;d sure like to ride it.<br /><br />From the Calgary bike show this past January.<br /><br />
