Im not sure about all these tests and how acurate these are when you consider that the Japs test their bikes with a rider who is no more than 60/5 kilos in weight,suspension and the rest of the shit is tuned to his specs and ultimately test runing on a decent track.I was told by a Japanese friend of mine that 80 kiols + could be classified as being a fat cnut in Japan,so all the little adds and offs would make a significant altered result than the one published.If I spend the same ammount of money on a busa as I would on a vmax I would have a rocket on wheels with all the goodys and left with change.This vmax is the hardly davidson of the jap market when it comes to price and its all a matter of what one is happy spending.I dont think that comparing it to a busa or bking is correct cause price and style are oceans apart!!!!
I went to mount glorious a few weeks back and I caught up with this bloke with a new max.He was maybe 20 meters in front of me when I put on my high beam and he knew it was on...........his rolling accelaration was quick and it does have grunt but a few klang klang klangs later in the gearbox I went past him like a breeze!!!!!!Its all a matter of who is behind the bars cause Im sure that if the bloke on the vmax was a better rider,pushed a bit harder or more experienced Im sure that it would have been a leveld outcome.
