I'm hearing it's the quickest stock bike ever made. I just wish a customer would order one so we could get one in the dealership. |

It's pretty badass. Kinda out of my price range. and ability range. I know people have gotten higher HP numbers out of bikes before, but I can't imagine hanging on to pretty much 200 horses. Lotsa respect for the guys and gals that can. |

Wow. I think it stinks. I wonder if it'll get bagged out like the 1125CR? |

I've always liked the Vmax look. The air scoops look "sinister". |

Not sure about the looks...BUT very impressed with the package. Mega power, great brakes, handles OK. The package was designed as a unit, chassis and engine made for a single purpose (not mix'n match parts bin engineering). Not for me, buy one hell of a cool machine. |

That thing is seriously heavy metal. Hats off to Yamaha for getting it right, and extra kudos for making the air scoops functional. |

19 grand for a bike that I can't ride a passenger with isn't going to fly in my house. Yes it has pegs, but even a Chinese woman would have her knees in her throat. I do think its bad ass though. |

You could buy a Vrod and go slow for 17. Put 2 grand into it adding pipes ECM or what have you and still be slow. Comparing it two any cruiser on the market for what you get its not all that bad. But I'm seeing 17 for it not 19. Got a customer that has an order in. |

"But I'm seeing 17 for it not 19" I saw $18,999.00 at one point. Then I saw $17,999.00. Either way. Ain't happen'n for me. Especially now that I'm building an R. |

I read an article comparing the last gen V-Max against the Rocket III, and they said the V-Max still held it's own despite being SO old. Pretty impressive. I dig the new one as well, but DAYUM at the price! ~SM |
