That would be fun to play around with... But... For a cross country trip... or a daily commute to work... Or a quick run to get some milk... I'd still take the Valk...

Had a matching Viper pulling the trailer. The guy started it up.....HOLY SH##!
The trailer it was on rocked every time he cracked the throttle, hard to imagine riding that monster.

I have a somewhat subdued version of that engine in Big Iron...my pick-em-up-truck (I AM a Texan)...
The chipset I've got in there yields around 450 hp and 600 ft/pounds of torque...and the curves are near flat...makes for some kick-ass acceleration and towing capability (hey, when you have to drive a cage, it may as well be a fun one, yes?)
I would LOVE to goose the throttle on that beastie...I can't even imagine...

I've had a woody for this one since the first time I saw it a few years ago. Last time I saw LaMonster up at Deals Gap he claimed he was thinking about buying a V-8 Chopper.

I have to agree with Serk. I've test rode a lot of bikes in the 11 years that I've had my Valk and the only one that I even considered was a Boss Hoss that I test rode at Biketoberfest - until they told me it was $45K and got 8 to 12 MPG around town  Brought me back to reality and made me remember just how great a bike the Valk is! Enjoy... VP

Bob's new Boss, AKA, Smokey, I met Bob on a VRCC new England ride years back, He had a Valkyrie and road with us, He sold his 502 Boss and bought this, he lives down in Florida now, but comes up here to visit now and then, i ran into him last summer and did some riding with him and his new bike, it is over the top LOL!! he has also added 350 shot of NOS with 2 polished bottles by his rear springs, Oh yeah Bob rides the heck out of his Boss it does not sit long. this bike is radical sounds like a funny car. http://www.mountainbosshoss.com/new_09/09_606/09_606.htm

BH built 2 of these Viper powered bikes. The first one was bought by the BH dealer in Scottsdale, AZ. He'd bring it down to the local bike night till it sold. From those visits, they got another one sold so the 2nd one came about. I've seen both out here in AZ. Both have disappeared in the last couple of years. I guess the buyers don't ride much or moved them out of state. They're not very rideable. It took the whole parking lot to get it to turn around and had to be walked around as it turned.
