2009 Yamaha VMAX

I don't know why, but I feel like I need one of these.



Rumored output is ~200hp, propelling the bike to a 1/4 mile time of around 10 seconds flat.

Doesn't that sound like fun?

my brother just sold his

Why did he sell?

[Grampa]

Why did he sell?

he's a tard. He buys stuff.... keeps it for a lil bit then gets something different. He's got a Harley XLFLYTHB%$# something.

He put pipes on the vmax, and had the engine tweeked a bit, but said he was never happy with how the bike ran.

[Thudias]

Ahh so it wasn't because it was a bad bike.

I've ridden on the 'old' Vmax, and it wasn't very satisfying.  I can understand why your bro sold it, BP.  That bike was available for ~20 years, with very few changes/improvements made to it during its lifetime. 

The new one is due in showrooms in November.

Not that I ever heard him say. It's a point and go fast bike.... not a turner.

Weren't the old models 10.5 seconds or so in the quarter? So she only gained 1/2 sec. I'd hope them mean more like 9 flat.

It could very well do a 1/4 mile in the 9's.  I don't think that the magazines have had a chance to test the new VMAX yet, but that should come soon.

The old VMAX had what, 145 hp?  The new one makes 197 hp.  I'd expect it to be a bit quicker...

Awesome - I like it.  Plus I can swap headlights with my 696 if it ever breaks !
