Wish I could read german...
286hp V8 VROOM

Plenty of room on that seat for a fatass like me!

Looks like a slightly better looking version of a Boss Hoss.

Here's a taste of what it says:

"Water-cooled eight cylinder, four stroke, 90 degree engine with, dual overhead cam shafts, four valves per cylinder, injection, regulated catalytic converter, mechanically operated dry clutch, two-speed transmission, toothed belt"

286 HP

"Engine is stressed member(?), Inverted fork, two shock struts, double disk brake in front, ÃƒËœ 320 mm, six-piston calipers, disc brake in the back, ÃƒËœ 220 mm, two-piston caliper"

A little over 88 inches wheelbase. 1080+ pounds. Truely a monster...

Trying to out Munch the Mammoth, I guess. Seems to me that there isn't enough stop on either end 'cause half a ton at speed should require a bunch of stoppage. Might be good on the Autobahn, but I wouldn't want to try the Cento Passi...

I picked up a brochure in Daytona for a new Viper powered Boss-Hoss!
Butt ugly in a very beautiful, fast sort of way...

Some system cases, a nice tankbag...

I'll wait for the GS version.
