Boss Hoss 5.7 L V8 ZZ4 / 350 hp / Beautifully built /, Nokia

For sale: a genuine American dream — motorcycle powered by a Chevrolet Corvette 5.7 L V8 (350 cui ZZ4) crate engine with tasteful, high-end upgrades! This bike sports impressive custom paintwork and was built from start to finish with great taste and considerable expense. Previously used as a show bike by a tour company in Saariselkä, where most of the build was carried out. It has enough power to leave Japanese bikes behind — after this, nothing else feels the same. The mechanics work as they should: no smoking, no fluid leaks or other issues. Ignition and carburettor were tuned at JM Garage on 25 June. Oils have just been changed. Ready to ride!
