Title: This V-max sounds downright evil! Post by: Oldfisti on May 08, 2010, 04:03:18 PM Like an angry small V8 [evil]
8 sec pass is nothing to sneeze at either... 2009 UFO Vmax 1/4 mile in 8secs .mp4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XulZIrFycmo&feature=player_embedded#lq-lq2-hq-vhq) Title: Re: This V-max sounds downright evil! Post by: IZ on May 08, 2010, 04:29:26 PM Saw a pack of them out in Phoenix awhile back. I think that one was louder than all 4!! :o
Once of the guys had his all blacked out. Looked nice! 156 in just over 8 sec. [thumbsup] Title: Re: This V-max sounds downright evil! Post by: Travman on May 08, 2010, 05:07:36 PM Wow, that was impressive. The sound at idle was most definitely evil [evil]. I've pretty much ignored the latest V-Max because it was too expensive, too heavy, and too over-the-top. It looked awesome in the profile shot in the beginning. It looks long and low like the dragster it is.

I will one day own a full-out Drag-racing motorcycle. That was simply too-cool! [evil] [evil] [evil] [evil] [evil] [evil] Title: Re: This V-max sounds downright evil! Post by: Slide Panda on May 09, 2010, 07:02:44 AM That's got a lot of the same sound characteristics that made those Sport Classic Zard pipes sound so bad ass. The revving right before the race launch.. yeah...
Title: Re: This V-max sounds downright evil! Post by: the_Journeyman on May 09, 2010, 11:44:29 AM My M750 sounds a bit like that. It's not going to be doing 156 in the quarter though!
JM Title: Re: This V-max sounds downright evil! Post by: TAftonomos on May 09, 2010, 06:08:44 PM It's cool and all...
But...can someone please explain to me why 2010 Vmax's price is EIGHTEEN LARGE? [laugh] Title: Re: This V-max sounds downright evil! Post by: He Man on May 09, 2010, 06:18:41 PM My M750 sounds a bit like that. JM keep telling yourself that. your missing 2 cylinders. 14 valves and like another 750ccs. [laugh] Vmax is suppose to have alot of high tech shit on it. fly by wire, or "ride by wire" slipper clutch etc.dont know wher ethey get 18 grand though, id expect some premium suspension at that point.

It did the 1/4 mile in 156.1 mph. I don't think that V-Max is bone stock . Dolph :) Title: Re: This V-max sounds downright evil! Post by: kopfjäger on May 09, 2010, 07:02:35 PM That does it.

I don't know if I can hang on at that speed and in that quick of acceleration. I don't really need to go that fast....0-135 is a pretty good rush. All that speed ...and it handles great !

[laugh] Have you ever actually heard my M750? It doesn't exactly sound like most other M750's... Or most other Ducatis, 2V or 4V for that matter. JM Title: Re: This V-max sounds downright evil!

I can attest to his bike somehow being louder than if it were straight pipes. Must be running it on moonshine or something.JM Title: Re: This V-max sounds downright evil!

JM it was hilarious. one dude on a japanese bike turned to see a couple of bikes coming up and was all happy until i got back on the gas in the turn. he jumped and nearly ran into a wall. i thought i was going to be deaf when we got out of the tunnell. lol. |
