You want power and something which looks different then think about this. You can buy a suzuki b-king(ok. its ugly) and get it supercharged to over 300bhp for 4k.that still puts it well under the v-max price and 200-300kph is in a blink of an eye. you can even move the exhausts from rear to side akropovic. v max is lovely but owners are paying too much and customer service from yamaha is poor.Optional extras. You have to be kidding Not one available. All back orders including new R1. Sod all. This is unexceptable Yamaha.
