Positioned in Boss Hoss's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Boss Hoss BHC-9 ZZ4 Trike pairs a 5700 cc (347.8 cu in) liquid-cooled v8, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 355 HP (259.1 kW) at 5,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 549.2 Nm (405.1 lb-ft) at 4,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 62.3 HP per liter and a 1,050 rpm working window between peak torque (4,200 rpm) and peak power (5,250 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-9 ZZ4 Trike measures 680.4 kg (1500 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.52 HP/kg (1.92 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 737 mm (29 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 2,070 mm (81.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 32.17-liter (8.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
