rapid magazine states that the new vmax outaccelerates hayabusa
by such a margin in the straight line that even on a race track despite hayabusas superiority in the twisties the new vmax reels it in on straights. but if vmax is such a weapon in the straight line, how come all the comparisons i have seen, show the new vmax trailing hayabusa by at least .5 seconds and by about 10 mph in the 1/4 mile.so i think it is all about the seat of the pants feeling,the fact is that the stop watch does not lie but vmax is soundly beaten by busa as well as b-king.
v-max is a powerful bike but unless it comes up with times to prove otherwise its still not the straightline king at all, period.
