2009 VMax First Look

both bikes I would love to own today.

Nice bike but stupidly overpriced and the exhausts kill the sound.

The Yamaha Fazer was my dream bike back in the day. Styling was ahead of it's time and with a Vance&Hines 4-1 pipe that 5-valve head made a wonderful exhaust note.

Maybe 170+ on a dyno without the wind resistance.

thats was such a gay presentation.. they could have done better.. still yet its a great bike.. always loved the Vmax but never had one.. lets hope you can get better sounding exhausts for it. but whats up with the price?!? seriously expensive at 15K in the UK!!

a V65 magna, will go 160+ maybe 170+ why not?, its a V4 1100cc, has 6 gears plus, its a Honda. I had a V65 and went 160, didnt had the balls to keep on going, 160mph on 6th gear and 7000 RPM, still 4000 RPM to go....

nope, I have both a magna and a vmax. Vmax leave magna behind in both acceleration and top end. The older model max wasn't as good at handling as the magna, nor as stable on the top end as magna; but the sheer power of the max overcomes a lot. Raced a friend, on her Duc 900 monster. She was really good throwing it through curves; but I would always blast around her after the curve and leave her by 100 yards plus easy. Great bike in many ways. Has some downsides; but the new one is even better.

Your full of it dude! Your friend either didnt know how to ride or that Magna or it wasnt running right. I had a phazer and a V65 and tha magna was way faster. The V45 Magna maybe but not the V65 no way! Its a 10 second bike stock! Phazer isnt a 10 second bike sorry dude.

Dude! Did I Say track? No I didnt! I said Highway, Of course vmax would win in a drag race. But not out on the highway. Magna has no govern and is a six speed man. I have owned both and magna is faster. Not Quiker.

you are either living in a fantasy world or just a bullshiter get real i hope you live in western canada or a northwest state i will meet you at any track and race you
