Yamaha Concept V-max **your opinions**

[naughtygirl]

Whats your opinions on this bike? The first time i layed eyes on it my first word was "wow" Its a beast, persoanlly tho i dont like the front, and the short stumpy pipes kinda made me .... "hmmm"

But yeah, what do you think?

Heres a few pics:

[SARGE]

oh yea.. i'd have one ... had an 85 from new... loved it but the damn thing wouldnt turn... hopefully that has been sorted out on the concept


if you dig the stumpy pipe .. check out the new GSX-r750 k6 (http://motorcycletrader.co.nz/DesktopDefault.aspx?UsedBikeID=1470479&TabID=3553&Alias=motorcycletradernz)

Looks like a modern mad max type machine. I'd own one.

[SARGE]

the StreetFighter look is coming on hard nowdays..Suzuki's GSR600, Kawasaki's Z1000, Cagiva's X-Raptor.. KTM, heaps more coming out in the muscular / high tech-industreal look... im all for it .. i love a well thought out streetfighter..

[Fishy]

I agree with ya there Sarge!. Streetfighter style bikes are bad ass!.

[Motu]

The V Max is motorcycling's Porche 911,just keep making the same bike with bigger tyres to handle increases in HP.

I agree with ya there Sarge!. Streetfighter style bikes are bad ass!.


ive seen some complete $100,000 abortions though

[WRT]

I'm not big on the new style vmax. There's a lot of it that I do like, the engine looks wicked as to the pipes, and I dont mind the front, but the back of it?

Looks like its squezing out a big turd if you ask me.

LOL, nice way of explaining! I looked at it again, and i guess your kinda right! :rofl: :pinch:

[Edbear]

Maybe the pics don't do it justice, but that thing is so mean and ugly it might just take off! Liked the original V-Max.

[WickedOne]

Mostly looks good, pitty about the pipes and horrible ass-end.:nono:

[Bonez]

I like the gravel catchers.

[Jantar]

Doesn't look too comfortable for the pillion though.

[zadok]

I don't like the look of it. Plus the radiator behind the front wheel doesn't thrill me.:sick:

[Highlander]

Does nothing for me.

[LXS]

It does everything for me. I need one. I want one.

[beyond]

It's one mean looking machine.
Don't like the opposum catcher behind the front wheel and they over cooked the exhaust a little bit. Looks like they liked the new exhaust on the K6 GSXR 600 and 750 and thought they might improve it by making it bigger.

Be interesting to see what the specs are like and how it handles.

Nice, I like those stubby pipes - look sweet on the new gixxer too. Good on Suzuki for starting the trend, was getting a bit tired of all the manufactures going sheeplike with them. Those ones on the new Fazer look so naff.

[jonbuoy]

Is that a single sided swingarm? Or dual shocks?? Don't get your hopes up in the handling department if its twin shocks.

[zadok]

MT-01 far nicer.

[ajturbo]

mmm i like that!!!
always had a soft spot for them.......

[Danboy]

Man, that bike rocks!! I thought the MT-01 looked the shit, but this is way way WAY way better!! More please. Mmmm.....sugar. :drinkup:
Long live the V-Max.

D.

Cool bike. But the rear end needs tidying up. It'd be cool if it handled. I hope the engine is totally nuts and not strangled. When it comes out the proof will be in the flesh, but at this stage I likes it.
