2016 Boss Hoss BHC-3 LS3 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Boss Hoss's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2016 Boss Hoss BHC-3 LS3 relies on a 6200 cc (378.3 cu in) liquid-cooled v8, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 445 HP (324.8 kW) at 5,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 603.4 Nm (445.1 lb-ft) at 4,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 71.8 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (4,750 rpm) and peak power (5,750 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the BHC-3 LS3 measures 528.4 kg (1165 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.84 HP/kg (1.19 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 2,032 mm (80 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 32.17-liter (8.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 8.55 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 376 km (234 miles) between fill-ups.
