Seen all the talk about the new Vmax?

[saddle up]

Have seen the picture of the new Vmax on the internet. Some thing about June 4th as the debut. It's still hush hush but did see a picture, but am too computer stupid to send the link. ( I tried)file:///upload/210893/images/2009%20Yamaha%20Vmax.jpg

Over on the VMax forum there is an entire chat room devoted to "the new Max." People debating how much HP it will have, etc. It is/will be a fantastic bike. Most of the VMax crowd are hoping that it will be a Ninja and Busa beater. Consequently, many are unloading their Maxes right now in anticipation.

Yes, it is a hottie for sure

Yes she sure is purty. But I don't think that I'll be waiting inline for one,, maybe a couple of years down the road after the bugs are worked out. I think that I would be satisfied with an old VMAX. Heck the XS is fast enough for me,, I got two tickets in a three month period after returning to the fold after a 23 year absence, from the ole XS. Had lots of bikes in between, but its like a snicker's bar. Nothing else satisfies, except the maybe the '67 FLH chopped. That was a good one. Could kick start it with my hand.. lol. But all in all, over all the Queen of all motorcycle in my opinion is still the XS1100 Yamaha. I feel like I am 20 years old again. Who need drugs with a rush like that. It lasts for hours.

Just got this off of the Yamaha, or more correct the "Star" site. (I'll never get used to that)..
Anyhow here is a comparison between the new and the old. http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/...0/compare.aspx

There are several things that suck, in the following order:
1. price
2. speed limited to 220km/h "(*Disclaimer: The VMAX has a governed top speed of 220km/h, by a smart system, that still allows a complete ¼ mile run under full acceleration)"
3. weight

Everything else is mind blowing.

Unless I win the lottery and I don't buy the tickets so it is not likely gonna happen, I am not paying 18 grand for a bike.
