Has anyone seen this Vmax concept bike??? Looks great to me. I'm not into the power of that bike but it's looks have always intrigued me.

Bought 4 bike mags this month and every one was all over the unveilling of the concept bike. Most of them noted that it's likely to arrive sooner rather than later. Like for 07.

I've always had a fetish for the V-Max. Not a fan of the ultra upright riding position. But overall, that's a pure muscle bike. Though, it's overdue for a change in design. Not sure how i like the comic book design exhaust though.

Sweeeet! Perfect blend between streetfighter and cruiser! Makes the triumph rocket look like a granny bike.

I have always thought that the V max had too many after thoughts, probably too many people with too much input. it looks like there are bits just stuck on it because they forgot to do it in the first place.

I'm not crazy about this version either. I saw another version that looked a bit more like the current version except it had an 1800cc V-4 that was said to produce 200 rear wheel HP. That's the one I want to see in the showrooms!

I think the Yammie MT-01 looks way better.

The Max has never really been a smooth/slick looking machine IMO.

I think batman might like it. As for me I'd been thinking of getting the regular one to add to the Suz RF900. :D

I personally love the look of the current V-max... I would really like to get one one of these days, just needs some suspension upgrades, then it is more than fine for me!

Yamaha just needs to quit screwing around already and build a new one. They've only been talking about doing it for ten years now. What are they waiting for?

I think it looks great and if it has 175 H.P. or more at the rear whl. I will buy one. My current Max pulls 120 at the rear whl. Ride a Max for an afternoon and you will be hooked.
