Yeah I like.

Its one of the new hybrid looking bikes that takes some getting used to.

Modern Yamaha Cruiser and Suzuki B-King blended.

Leading to the release some day of other interesting concept bikes like this one, Yamaha term Power Crusier.

just spotted it on trade me, fuck the 1200 was fast enough.
with all that HP, i hope it corners better than the 1200.
still it would look bloody awesome sitting in my driveway.

here's the trademe link:

The v-max (especially the 09 by the looks) maybe shouldnt be classified as a "cruiser" imho.........

Yes, Vmax as I've voiced before should NEVER be called a cruiser. But that presents the problem of... WHAT IS IT!! a freak of nature

$99,999 for that one on trademe lol

I would class it as a Muscle-cruiser or for those of you who dont see any cruiser in it a muscle bike

**daytona 2** · 22nd June 2008, 16:37

its not a "muscle cruiser" it a stunt bike like the triumph speed triple,because the are like a street bike but have a short tail and naked....
