Yes, it is bigger and will kick our Valks in the butt.
Maybe not the blower bike, but it would be a good toss up.

I remember talking to a guy once that had nitros on his Hiyabusa. I asked him "why, you have the fastest production bike made". He said it was not fast ENOUGH.

You could make a bike with unlimited horsepower and there would be guys that would want more. I thought that bike was cool. Have never seen one up close. Kinda goofy looking but cool at the same time.

Several years ago a couple of the VRCC members went to Boss Hosses. One got a 350 and the other a 502. I remember the one with the 502 saying that the 350 would take this bike. It hooked up quicker. I guess in that power to weight range, it becomes more about traction than HP.

In one of my Hot Rod Power Tours we had a 502 with a blower and nitrous on it.
At most of the venues we had a watering hole. To see who could make the most smoke. This Blower Boss wasn't in the pit more than 40 seconds and he had put a big hole in that rear tire. And so damn much smoke you could hardly breath.
I rode the route with him a couple of days on my Chevy Trike. Think he was from Idaho if I remember correctly. He kind of reminded me of Crazy Rick, from these boards..
I bought one of the damn contraptions one year at Daytona Bike Week. Told my son to take the truck and trailer and go on. If he lost sight of me come back. He choose to ride behind me. After 50 miles, we unloaded the Valk and put the Hoss on the trailer. Riding that thing was WORSE than riding my old hard-tail from San Fran to Florida when in the service.
I had the Hoss home about 2 weeks and some one came in the shop and asked if it was for sale. Told him yes, and the price. He said price was too steep. Told him wouldn't take any less. He left and came back 6 days later with cold cash.

I don't believe I'll ever get rid of the Valk as its the best bike I've ever had and I think it'll become a rare classic some day to be passed down through the family.. I've seriously thought the same thing about a Hoss,, I still think about getting one just to hang on to.. The couple small block Hoss's I've been on, I've liked [ except for the very early chain drive one]..

This bike is a very early model as determined by the clutch cable. Probably a 95 or 96, my 97 had the automatic Nesco transmission in it. No clutch. The Boss was fun, scraped the floorboards on it a few times, it had a car tire on it. Wouldn't want to ride it in the mountains but in flat as a board Fla. it was fun to hear that 4 barrel open and by God, you better hang on when it did. After 6 years, I sold it. Had my fun with it but Mr Valk is the one I hung on to, and always will,  as long as I'm riding!  |
