I think it looks awesome. A lot better than the B-King.

The view from the back is real badass! 8)

I remember quite a few years ago reading about some crazy Nordic dude putting a NOS system on a V-Max. I wonder if he would be content leaving this new V-Max alone. Somehow I doubt it...

It's a little less ugly than the B-King...

You're going to buy the V-Max but you think the B-King is too much bike?

Well maybe I misunderstood but isn't the B-King tuned more like my shiver and the V-Max more like a cruiser?

the v-max is not like a cruiser

standard riding position and it makes an amazing amount of power at higher rpms.

if it's any more comfortable than the previous v-max's i think i may have found my next bike (that or the softail cross bones :drool2: )
