Default New V-Max

Stolen from other site...

Details are still a bit hush hush, but rumors are spreading that it will be 1800cc, over 200hp and run the 1/4 in a sub 10sec pass. Here's official pics



Me - Something about it I really like

I think the sub 10sec pass is the only thing I can honestly say I like abou it.

1800cc... that would be stupidly heavy to move around.
And imagine the heat produced... if you were getting stuck through traffic you'd just melt!

You forgot the over 12grand bit!!!

I think Yamaha have done a good job on it. Showed Suzuki how to take a bike from concept - production. Joke B-king thing. I hope they have not made it soft like the MT-01. Not as "tassle-barred" as the RocketIII either.

**** more than a few sportsbike riders off I bet.

Which is nice.

Doubt it. Especially when the riders realises this fugly pig of a bike doesn't do corners.
