Well crap.... I just got suckered into a $1000 deposit on one of these bad boys... Should be a real beast, probably quicker than my previous R1.
200hp/123tq (est) There was a tester who reported a 151mph trap speed also. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Articl...ID=6556&Page=1 Wish me luck!

At least the B-King can do more than go straight.
Still, it looks much better than the 2003 V-Max. |

my favorite bike of all time, the VMax!!! The new one looks sick. High price tag though ($17k+!).

Would be nice if they were on the list for test rides during the AMA vintage motorcycle days at Mid-Ohio. Maybe next year.

I think the new one will do alright in the twisties... They put a lot more effort into the chassis and handling dept this time. Actually compromising the planned engine (290hp w/VVT) due to the need for the chassis to be 2in longer with it. Or maybe they thought even 290hp is just a bit much in any situation.

290HP in a motorcycle = insta-death for the mid-age crisis yuppies who want to look sexy again and haven't ridden either ever or in 20 years. That puppy better have ridiculous stopping power, even at a 'scant' 200 HP...

Wow. That thing is a beast. I can't imagine going from my R6 to this. But since you had an R1 I'm sure you'll be fine. Enjoy.
This thing takes a dump on the B-King looks-wise. |

yamaha did a great job updating the bike. i just wish they kept those "intakes" a bit like the old style.
have you guys even see the bike up close? pictures do not do the bike justice. i might be a tad bit partial as i ride a ducati but i'm not a fanboi or uppity snob like most owners. from a mechanical p.o.v, the bike is amazing. and the exhaust note is sex. http://youtube.com/watch?v=8sFbupEJMSI |
