lousy heading restrictions

Anyway, the V-Rod has been out a number of years now and I think that since Yamaha is going to put out a new V-Max likely with 200 HP, that Harley should take their power cruiser and give it a new set of cojones.

I'm still waiting for Harley's response to the first VMax.

The V-Max is definitely on my to-buy list for 2007.

The V-Max has its own niche. Competitors including Harley will respond according to market demand. The first V-Max turned eyes of very few individuals. It's a great bike, don't get me wrong. But there's just not that many sales focused to this type of bike.

However, the power/sport cruiser class is chiseling at the V-Max's domain. I think it'd be wise for any company wishing to compete in this class to have some tentative plans with something similar. I'd imagine there are, but sales will determine how much resources they'll allocate to the production of any bike.

I just checked out this bike, and was wondering what Harley competes with it. The V-Rod? I thought that was selling pretty poorly.

It is. So is the V-max. Catering to a market that isn't really there.

Every shop I have worked at, every time we get a V-MAX, it sells immediately.

So why does it have to be V-Max V Harley?

Especially since the new V-Max doesn't look like a cruiser at all?
