Vmax.........owned one for 5 years....95 model..........red/black......(of course)..............loved it
It handled good for what it was.......... Reason being the COG was lower as the fuel tank was behind the engine & not on top + the longitudinal V4 donk.
The brakes worked good too.... Fantastic clutch as well The front forks were way too soft though & bottomed under hard braking but thicker oil fixed that problem.
If the next Vmax looks like the prototype we saw 18 months ago they might sell a few. On the other hand, the B King looks fugglier than ever, they should have stuck with the original concept from 2 years back. That exhaust is a disgrace to motorcycling, must have been on the Saki when they bashed that tinware together.

Never ride the A model of anything.
