Here's a project where they put the best of the V-max into a more sporty handling package. Overkill to the max (get it, max), but I've wondered for years why they didn't improve the handling of the V-max without stealing all the cruiser looks.
This bike is cleary not a cruiser. They call it R-max and I read about it in this months Roadbike (ride metric). Sure is better than another custom chopper.

She certainly does look like a sporty ride.
I just hope the rubber lasts the whole ride before burning through....

"fudge" the bike, I'd ride the gi...
yeah, nice bike.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
