    eek New V-Max -- have your say!

    Yamaha is going to launch a new V-Max. Apparently they're interested in what people out there in motorcycle land think.

    That satin sure is smooth.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I agree. A bit bloated.

    Reckon it looks like more than a couple of people designed it, with than a couple of different ideas/designs each.

    Thanks for posting Hitcher, I enjoyed the look in but the bike simply has no appeal to me.
    I would of course like to be offered a test ride on one but that goes for any bike, big or small. Cheers John.

    Not bad - much better than the first incarnation aesthetically.

    It will lack the 'hard core' street cred that it's trying to engender because it is Japanese however.

    i'll tell you but I wouldn't be arsed telling yam mar har.

    Will buy one

    Very nice but from the looks of it I'm not too sure about the seating comfort, however I'll start saving for one.

    Owned a Vmax back in 91 and it was a fun bike, unbeatable power + Shocking handling, had so much fun back in the old day

    Vmax is not a civilized machine!!! I thought the bike is crazy, hmmm maybe it was just me back then, glad I am still alive !!!

    My signature back then would go like "Harsh and Dangerous Riding - Ride like there's no tomorrow"

    Is that actually a genuine motorbike? Doesn't look like it's real, almost like a manga cartoon eh? I bet it's straight out of one, if you think about an RX-7 Batman, you'll notice it's very manga like.

    I think it looks very nice, I don't like those big shiny things though (air intakes?)

    Arrow Blimmin heck.

    I really don't know if I like or hate it. Might be the latter, don't really know. Definitely looks like something out of the sci-fi. Maybe Neo riding it on the Matrix is where its better served?
