New (in 2020) V-Max

I had missed that Yamaha had produced a new version of the V-Max recently, and was looking at a couple of videos of it. I think it retains the philosophy of the original quite well, lots of power and torque, cruiser style but a little different.

But then I found this video:

So, stock power plant, 1.7l V4 with a bit under 200 ponies at the crank (claimed). But go to 4.00m in and listen to that motor with a custom exhaust!

Wow actually looks really cool.

Much rather have a v-max than a cruiser. 200bhp stock aren't they?

Yeah, it's a 'sort-of-cruiser' that has always got my attention a bit since the first ones, though I wouldn't go near an 'ordinary' cruiser.

As to power, pay attention at the back! Laughing

I lolled at 'it's a lower barred bike now, so a bit more aggressive' - a bit? He was flat across the tank at that point with his elbows by the headers Laughing
