US-based Boss Hoss has fitted its 2026 cruiser lineup with the brand's largest-ever engine, an 8.1-liter V8 producing 600 horsepower (441kW). That it goes into the brand's "entry-level" model captures the outrageous scale that defines the company.
The very idea of putting a car's V8 into a motorcycle blows right past my sense of normal. How they fit and control 8.1 liters and 600 horsepower in a bike frame -- looking at the spec sheet doesn't even feel real, and that's exactly what makes it irresistible. This is basically an engineering delicacy on two wheels.

With this much horsepower, it seems like it'd be overkill for long-distance touring.
Even as a cruiser, it's in a completely different category from Harley.
8.1 liters is basically a straight-up car engine figure at this point.
Does that mean it literally has a car engine dropped straight into the bike?
Calling this an 'entry-level' bike is basically false advertising given the power output.
Boss Hoss was built from the start around dropping car engines in, so being off the charts is just business as usual for them.
An entry-level bike with 600hp is such an insane spec, it's amazing.
