Those are for people who are dying for attention.  They're stupid (the machine, not the people).

 I saw a guy run a Boss Hoss in the slow race at a rally  then he had his woman drive it with him on the back for the balloon toss I was really impressed with the amount of control at slow speed  . must be the automatic transmission

So, it's titled as a 1996, but the build didn't start until 2005 and took 4 years (2009). WTF is with that?
383 stroker motor built by a dead guy and the bike comes with no warranty. Big surprise
One bid for 15,000 and reserve has not been met yet. Bet he made the bid himself

Sure looks like a real expensive paperweight to me.

Sounds to me like there was to many hands in the soup. We all know what they say about that.

  They handle a lot better than you might think. The low center of gravity really makes a difference. A small block weighs in at 1100lbs. The newer ones have a two speed automatic trans. I have ridden several, but never owned one (can't afford it). They will get from 35mph to 120mph in a hurry and are a real rush doing it. There is a video on you tube of a big block doing 5.90 in the 1/8 mile. That figures out to a 9 second quarter mile. Gotta be a lot of fun.

The one's I've seen handle very well.

just doesnt look right to me,a 4 cy v tec motor would trim it down to resemble a motor bike and still have the horsepower,but that would negatate the wow factor,also a small block comes in at 525 pounds,add alum heads will knock 75 pounds off it. e j potter had the mecanicl look i like,the [bling kills it for me]

They actually do demo rides on them at Daytona.

Last year there did seem to be a few of them dropped over the time I was there.
