The new V-Max may not
be available until 2009...trouble with the new 1800cc 295hp V-4..it rips up tires.
They are detuning it down to 210 hp! Here's a video of the prototype from the Tokyo show: http://video.aol.com/video-detail/ne...-360/315284130

I'm sure it's really awesome, but it looks strange enough to be a Vespa.

It needs to be fast enough that no one will be able to recognize you on the bike. Otherwise no one will buy them.

I'm sorry, but I cannot afford to discuss the insurance required to ride that thing with my agent. I might also lose my chewing gum taking off with that thing from a dead stop.

that bike doesn't trip my trigger at all. styling looks odd to me. yeah, it goes like a raped ape, but I dunno...I guess to each his own. never have been a fan of the crotch rocket type bikes. not sure what they are trying to make this out to be...

I consider the Sportster the first of the bad boys. After that came Mr Max. The V-MAX was so influential that it remained unchallenged for someting like 18 years. Hell, it doesn't take a genius to look at a VMAX and a VROD side by side and note the styling similarities. I wont be buying one, but I am glad to see that Cushman is back in the fray. This will only spurn HD on as they are a company that will just sit on their asses and add conchos to bikes if that is all it takes. Their customers are aging rapidly and they need to some up with something younger guys are gonna wanna ride if they are to stay alive. That and the death of the air-cooled engine in '10.
