My girls father got one over the winter and it is gorgeous. Im just curious to what you guys think of them?

1679cc four-valve, DOHC liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine that uses YCC-T fly-by-wire throttle and YCC-I variable intake length technologies, a five-speed transmission with slipper-type clutch, shaft drive and 200/50 R18 rear tire.

VMAX Returns for 2010

 

It is a different looking bike. I would like to ride it though to see what it is like.

 

I love those they sound wicked and theyre blazing fast

 

I think this should be in the sights and sounds section. :icon_sarcasm:

Thing looks pretty neat man. I haven't seen one in person so hard to make a judgement call. I know its not something I personally would ever buy, but i'd love to ride one.

 

These things have the rep of being the kings of grunt. Their the sort of bike you ride around the roads of the city or suburbia, scaring old ladies, small children, dogs & trucks. And to make those that drive Porche's/Ferrari's question the relative value of spending great sums of money to achieve ultimate ****** status, only to be blown off at the lights by a two wheeled behemoth that cost less than their insurance premium.

 

I was thinking the same thing

 

I've seen some in person. They look very distinctive. As a public declaration of one's opinion of one's own ultimate-ness (kinda like owning a semi-exotic car), they're pretty darned effective. Not my style or preference, but I'd take one for a spin if offered.

 

lol.. Well said, Pace.

I've always thought the VMax was a neat bike. You can't mistake one, that's for sure. It's just a cool/unique metric power cruiser. The older ones can be had for pretty cheap, too.

 

love em. test drove a 1986 and it was just as fast if not faster, than my 1996 cbr1000f, but they wanted $3500

 

I've seen one at the local dealership and sat on it a few times (a black, gray one. Not really into the red). It's so rediculous it's actually pretty cool. 200 bhp anyone?

I'm sure it could give my Blackbird a run fot it's money. It also seemed to keep up with a friends K7 1000 when a guy on one was cruising along with us. I also love how the V4 sounds.
