Never heard of one before.I see it's a cross between sport and cruiser.A v4 or 1634cc displacement.18k for the bike.It's rated at low 10's at around 124mph.I'm confuse on this bike.If I want to go fast I will buy a CBR1000RR or busa.If I want to cruise I'll by a cruiser style.The bike look killa,but i don't know......confuse.Best of both world I guess.

It's been around for decades. Got a big displacement upgrade this year. Good power but heavy and handles like a hog.

This is no crossover between a sportbike and cruiser. Muscle bikes like this have nothing in common with sportbikes.

As far as the CBR and Busa go, both go fast, but in very different ways.

You should see the custom VMAX bikes that some builders build, theyre insane. Ive got an old Cycle World laying around that has all the custom VMAX bikes, theyll blow your mind. Its a sweet, odd bike thatll eat many bikes for lunch.

I think I love you man!just kidding!Please you should read about this bike!In the 80's cruiser wars had only begun in the bike world and we were the beneficiaries!We have a 96-V-45-Honda Magna!The V-max is a poduct of the cruiser wars taken place by the big 3 Suzuki,Honda,Yamaha's.Honda had gotten to the point where they were out distancing themselves from everyone elese and the vmax was born out of this battle.Its' my dream bike right now I fell in love with one at a used bike place the design is freaking radical and a very very fast ike the low 10's are because everyone was trying to one up each other and the did that.To me it's a hybrid it was originally intended to be a cruiser / slash crotch rokit and to me that's what it is today.You wont find any 2010 for less than 18k but they do have earlier years.I'd like to hear your feedback hey go to you tube the have some bad ass vmax customs.Some even put a stretched swing arm on one it looks killer!in fact im going to check em out right now.

I ride a 1984 Honda V65 Sabre, which is an 1100cc V4 in a sport-touring configuration. It still runs great with 99K and I love it.

How about a 1980 KZ1300. The manual says it devlops 120 hp from its 6 cyl engine. This is going to take some time to get used to.
