Overview

Introducing the 2010 Boss Hoss BHC-3 LS3, a titanic force in the custom-cruiser market that redefines the very essence of power and performance on two wheels. With a lineage steeped in American muscle, this motorcycle is not just a means of transportation; it’s an experience crafted for those who crave the thrill of the open road. Boss Hoss, a name synonymous with innovation and audacity, has created a stunning machine that balances a classic cruiser aesthetic with the raw intensity of automotive engineering. If you’re looking for a motorcycle that demands attention and offers exhilarating performance, the BHC-3 LS3 is a standout choice. At the heart of the BHC-3 LS3 lies a monstrous 6.2-liter V8 engine, delivering an astonishing 445 horsepower at 5,750 RPM and a torque output of 603.42 Nm at just 4,750 RPM. This powerhouse allows riders to accelerate with a ferocity that few motorcycles can match, propelling the hefty cruiser forward with thrilling speed and authority. The multi-port fuel injection system ensures smooth power delivery, while the liquid cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures even during spirited rides. The Boss Hoss’s robust frame, paired with its belt final drive, provides a unique riding experience that fuses the smoothness of a motorcycle with the raw energy of a muscle car, making each twist of the throttle a heart-pounding adventure. The BHC-3 LS3 is not just about brute force; it also boasts a range of features that enhance both comfort and handling. The inverted front forks with adjustable preload offer superior handling characteristics, while the dual 13-inch coilover shocks at the rear ensure a plush ride, even on bumpy roads. With its impressive braking system featuring dual 4-piston calipers in front and a single 4-piston caliper in the rear, riders can trust in the stopping power that matches its incredible speed. The motorcycle's lengthy wheelbase and a rake of 33 degrees contribute to stability, making it a surprisingly nimble beast for its size. Additionally, with a fuel capacity of 32.17 liters, long rides become a feasible venture without the constant need to refuel. **
