Well maybe I misunderstood but isn't the B-King tuned more like my shiver and the V-Max more like a cruiser?
If the new Max is indeed going to be putting out anything near 200 horses, it will spank the B-King beyond belief. Suzuki may have to go back to the Supercharger ala original concept B-King after all.
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 )
The Max is a Power Cruiser. A genre originally created by the Honda V65 Magna and permanently defined by the V-Max.
The original Max had a ton of torque as well as insane HP at the top as you said when the V-Boost kicked in. The unusual combination of busload of torque and the Hi-RPM HP made the Max an insane bike to ride.
I think it's just way, way overdesigned. The details are just way too busy. The engine covers, headlight housing, multi-piece front fender, etc etc. There are all sorts of little extraneous details and silly design bits that just make it ugly.
Looks like more bike than I'll ever be able to handle... Or afford for that matter.
