Talk:Boss Hoss Cycles

Deletion debate

clearly a popular article, with various edits etc. No reason to delete in my view.

It does seem worth noting that the AfD took place in January 2006 -- eight months ago. The version being discussed at the time was also very different from the current version. With that in mind, I'm opting not to speedy the article; anybody is welcome to start {{prod}} or {{afdx}} efforts if they so choose. Luna Santin 18:56, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for nipping the speedy in the bud. There was another deletion review in August 2006 where the prejudice against a new article was removed. Unfortunately, this doesn't show up in the logs, so well-meaning exclusionists are effectively invited to speedy this article by the seemingly clear evidence that it needs to be deleted. I'm trying to keep a watch on it to keep it alive while keeping my flamethrower pilot light lit. —BozoTheScary 22:05, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

What is missing

• current production rate
  • preferably broken down by engines types (do they sell any more kits?)
  • what transmission options are sold?
  • broken down by bikes v. trikes
  • trikes broken down by rear ends
• sources of stock parts
  • aren't the pegs Kuryakyn?, etc.
• sources of aftermarket parts
  • does Lehman do a trike kit for Boss Hoss?
• (non-copyvio) photos! photos! photos! (old models and new models)
• special kit builds (like the V10 in the "external links")
• more info about the stock nitrous kits and what if any performance numbers are applicable
• famous owners?
• performance stats
  • 0-60
  • 0-100
  • quarter mile
• hp/torque ratings for all engines/models (possibly with nitrous)

Not wikipedic

Article reads as an advert, especially in the first and second paras:

...ranging in size from 350 cubic inches (5.7 liters) to 502 cubic inches (8.2 liters), equipped with semi-automatic transmissions, making them by far the most powerful motorcycles in the world

Despite their size, power and weight, Boss Hoss motorcycles offer outstanding ride comfort and driving dynamics.

...many people think that the torque thrust of the engine would make it difficult to handle, but actually if you crack the throttle it is completely gone; straight line only.
