V-Max has not changed since 1984. Granted in 1984 the V-Max was the king. But today a V-Max is slow compared to the rest of the liter plus sport bikes and most of the 600cc middle weights.
It is simple math that will tell you there is no contest.
The v-max has 116hp and weighs 631lbs
Yamaha GSXR750 has 127hp and weighs 430lbs
That is simple math and that is just an example. Dozens and dozens of japaneze and italian bikes have better numbers than that.
A Harley V-Rod has 109hp and weighs 620lbs. Thats no contest......and it costs $20,000.
V-Max days are over. Unless they totally redesign that bike, they are stuck in 1984 times. The V-Rod is a start in the right direction for Harley. But for the money......
HaHa, if you think so more power to ya. You spend your time telling everyone why they are better than an American Vtwin, the American Vtwin owners don't have to do that and theres a reason they don't have to.

I own both a VMAX and a CBR929. The VMAX is a pig compared the the CBR but I can't take the wife for a ride on the rocket. But - The VMAX is the only bike I've ever owned that every time I ride it I get asked if it's for sale.
