When I was in the dealership for my switch recall, they had one of the limited edition VMax's on the showroom floor. Apparently someone had ordered one, but had to back out of the deal. If I could have figured out how to explain to my wife that I now have a motorcycle loan where I didn't before, that Vmax would have been mine. Got to be the baddest looking bike out there.

how about that motor in a feejer frame?
v65
ouch
Ooh, I want one! In five years the used might be cheap enough.

How bout a 25mpg SPORT/tourer with poor low speed manners? Once they had screwed around with it enough to work well as a wide band torque producer, the things that made it legendary would be gone I think.

God point Rad, then how about the feejer motor in the max frame? Just kiddin'...

Don't forget, Yammie used to use the V4 motor in their touring turd. It was the V-Max and the "what-the-hell-was-it-called" (Venture Royale?).
Kawi didn't lose too much when they reworked the top end of the ZX14 for the C14. I suspect that a rework of the new Max would get a Feej into the 10s pretty solidly.
BUT, as Rad said, the mileage would be LOUSY and I need a 10 second touring bike like I need another hole in my head.

What would DoG do?
Yeah, but the part of me that used to enjoy the occasional trouble-free ride on the Harley sure wants a 9 second cruiser bike. I'd probably get one before a dual-sport.
Seen the AMA review?
I'd be afraid to be sucked into those intakes. Maybe that's where his fingers went.wow...that guy has three fingers and his thumb missing! How does he use the throttle on that thing?

Nope, but there are lots of them still around. There is a guy in town here with a burgundy one that is in great shape.

Yes this bike is very interesting to say the least and the motor in person is awesome. Sat on one at the Cycle World show and while the seating position is somewhat sporty it is comfy and seating comparable to the FJ. The only drawback is premium fuel at 100 mi. per tank but hey, were not going to Winnemucca on it are we? Yes I would love to own this beast but I must restrain for now......waaaaaaaaaa. :cray: PM. <>< :crazy:

they could base a sport tourer on the Vmax without changin the engine a bit. usually the engines are detuned for more torque but that engine ALEREADY has the most torque of any stock cycle engine in history.
when they make a sport tourer based on that engine I'll probably buy one (as long as it doesn't weigh 800 or 900 pounds)
