Since I have basically the same engine, I'd just like to have the "V-Boost" added to my bike...

I love it.

Yamaha carried the (waaay back in 1985) bad-boy look of the original forward.

If you look closely you can see the frame around the engine house is going to be much stiffer than the original, same with the front end.

This baby should offer a level of handling more closely matched to its power than the original.

Can't wait to try 'er out!!

I vaguely recall a project bike that Rider magazine(I think) stuffed a V-Max motor into a Venture(the old Goldwing like Venture, not the Electra Glide like Venture).

I like the look of both the B-King and new V-Max. They both look like they've got plenty of muscle.

I hope they paid as much attention to designing the chassis and suspension as they did the engine. Even when it was launched, the old one wasn't exactly praised for its handling or suspension.
