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

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

    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.

    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.

    Mostly looks good, pitty about the pipes and horrible ass-end.
    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

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