New V-MAX, a legend soon to be reborn? could well be, i'm not big on criusers but this muscle cruiser is going to be interesting for sure just as long as Yamaha dont over price it.

It's a premium product don't forget!

Just bikes like the MT-01 were waayyy over priced! I think (don't quote me) you can pick one up new for around the $19-20k mark now which is much more like it...

Valkyrie, V Max - clearly the best. But I'd rather have a RocketIII.

Always liked the VN800 - not too large, light (for a cruiser) and powerful enough to have fun with.

Now replaced with the larger VN900 (have not ridden this).

I've see pictures of a few modded VN800's as well - my favourite is below.

I had a vn900 for a day while my vn800 was in for a service, nice ride didn't seem that much bigger than the vn800
