2009 VMax
Looks like this is going to be a real beast at a claimed 197hp. Though neither are my cup of tea I'd take this over the Suzuki B-King. 2009 Star Motorcycles VMax - First Look - MotorcycleUSA.com

Hmmm...$1,000 deposit, $320.00 or so a month, insurance premium $12,970 per year! What do you think insuring that beast will cost, Kirk??

Except for the exhausts, I like it. 197 hp? More like 165 at the rear wheel I'm guessing. If that is what it ends up, I will start a thread about the missing horsepower on the new V-Max and start a class action suit against Yamaha because of all the MPH I lost on the 'top end'.

Haha, LR you seriously need a beer, man. You're carrying around the chip on your shoulder (from another thread) like a suit case

197hp eh? Even deducting the usual manufacturer 10% BS factor that's still a lot of ponies. I guess I am officially old because I can't gen up even the slightest interest in that much HP. However I'm not too old because I'd never stand in the way of anyone else owning it. So... go for it crazy dudes!
