Max is back!

[Hogbear]

I remember when the Yamaha V-Max first came out in the early '80's. I wound up buying a Honda V65 Magana instead but I've always liked the Max too. Well now Star/Yamaha has updated the V-Max to a 1700 cc V4 engine with a claimed 197 hp. Nice burnout video of the press intro here: video

Rumors are that the solid rocket boosters that strap on the sides are optional...

Two of the meanest bikes i ever got on as a adult was a YZ80 and a V-MAX. They both will stay on the back wheel.
