Not a sport bike...
But still one BAD motha shut-yo-mouth!
http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/msite/micro_v1.aspx 18,000 is a bit much and I don't really agree with some of the technologies involved....but still a MONSTER. Hope it handles better than the old one's.

Sweet.
The exhaust is kinda ugly, but other than that I like it. They sure do a lot of burnouts in the opening video... squids. |

The older V-maxes handled like school buses full of fat kids. Hope this one's better. Still a heavy beast. I'll take one on in the twisties and see how she does.

Technically, it's a "power cruiser." Realistically, its a really ugly computerized drag bike. Always has been. That's what the Max is known for (minus the computerized part...that's just on the latest one).
