    Seen all the talk about the new Vmax?

    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 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.

            TBH, I liked the looks of the old one.
            If it doesn't have an engine, it's not a sport, it's only a game.

                  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 ΒΌ 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.
