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.

Motor is said to produce 210 BHP...can't wait to see what the Power Commander guys do with this when they remove the factory emissions lean mixture!

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).
