All of you have never ridden a new VMAX because if you did you would know that a V-rod is another word for midrange cruiser compared to the VMAX. The VMAX will walk off and leave the V-rod. And, yes it weighs a lot. But, it has power out the a$$. Anything less than a Busa will be watching my license plate ahead of them. And, depending on the rider, the Busa will need to spend more time in the shop to catch the VMAX. And, oh by the way, eurodynamics not included. Ha

Everybodys a critic! (I guess I am too!) Why isnt Mr.Max around 470-490 pounds? Why on Gods green earth does it have to wiegh 683 pounds?!!! I would love to pull up beside a V-Rod on a V-max.115 HP VRS 197.
I just dont get the Harley thing, all bark and not much else.Guys acting all bad on a high 11 second bike.(Actually,Most guys can only do low 12′s on a V-Rod) But Mr.Max truly is Ba-Ba-Ba-Bad to the bone! Image only works on people who believe the image.The V-Max really is BAD ASS, not a pretender.

What are we looking at for 0-100mph acceleration and quarter mile times? Since that seems to be the target market.

I wonder how the VMax compares with the Busa. It might just topple it from top honors with its extra power (granted it’s a 23% bigger motor). Its weight will hurt the launch and aerodynamics will hurt the top end but maybe not enough. Maybe some back-to-back drags are in order.
