The cool thing about a max is that 1) you can get low miles used max for $4,000-6,000. 2) Minor mods mean major gains. 3) Comfortable, even compared to tourers. 4) Hammer of the gods power on tap. 5) It LOOKS like a bike for robocop or the terminator. 6) 1/4 mile time is usually limited by wheelspin/technique, not power limitation. 7) a 2009 was just ridden by Jay Gleason in Florida. racing slick, NO internal engine mods, 9.5 seconds 1/4 @ 143mph.

the kz is chain driven, I always thought that a power cruiser was a cruiser chasis with an above average amount of horse power, maybe its a maintenence thing..

Sorry dude you are mistaken, the v65 was never produced with a chain, it was always shaft driven, I cant comment on the kz, since I have never owned one..

im afraid neither of those would qualify as a power cruiser as both run with chains. It would have have a shaft or belt drive to be eligible for a powercruiser title. Its a technicality but one which yamaha has taken advantage of. Still, the Vmax is a great bike, i have the 2001 model and its a dream on the long road.

I like how the statement on this video says the origanal power cruiser, kinda gotta throw bs at that, the v65 was out a few years before this one 183 for the v65 and the first vmax came out in 1985 and before the v65 there was the kz1000 so the vmax was not the first

Almost 2000 mi on my 09 VMax (about a month so far) and this bike is the most fun I've had on a bike by far. Some previous bikes incl CBR600, 07BuellXB12,07FZ1,09FZ6R. I love every thing about this bike. It sounds great, looks great, handles great for its size, and the engine is just awesome! Totally relaxed power, but you can unleash hell at moments notice. Shaft is great, no mess, no chain lash. No need for 6 speed either. You can fly your fav twisty and never leave 3rd gear (25-115mph).

a big part of biking is the freedom, i think you refer to sportsbikes and people who want to race, not all motorcycles are designed or meant to be raced, it depends what you want from a bike, thats why they dont just have zx6r's and r1's etc. not everyone cares abiut weight or power, it all depends what you want from a bike

I love V-max, but man... I don't like the headlight of the new V-max... looks like a bit V-rod. Now I think of it, Harley might copied the name V-rod from V-max. I wish new V-max had VTX look alike big long head light, then I say it looks perfect. I guess, that look is hip now eh? like B-king. I don't know what's going on in Japan.

I must say I honestly dont like it. Yeah respect where tis due. Some mental power outta it but I would much rather the old V-max. Would never buy one meself. Sad thing is, there are gonna be some load of posers buying this bike then busting themselves up on it. Each to there own.

I know quite a few people that are very upset over this particular bike. The answer why is because companies like Yamaha and Harley are focusing on bikes for the uneducated poser wanna-be rather then the actual enthusiast riders. I have heard every excuse under the sun for the extra weight and unwanted driveline features. None of which are true. You can more then bet that things will be changing, I am not the only one that is upset. This type of bike sets the entire industry backwards

If I cared about naked power I'd go with the B-King. I nearly shat myself when I saw 80-90 miles per tank. Jesus God, you could never leave the city limits on this damned thing...
