Yamaha V-Max ... new versus old

ACCORDING to Visordown.com’s Japanese factory insiders, the all-new Yamaha V-Max will be launched to a waiting world in just over 12 days time.

The countdown has begun for a worldwide launch of the new musclebike all over the web, a rolling countdown on the Yamaha Motor Europe website is playing all coy and just counting down the days, hours and minutes but our men in Japan say that the build up is all for the new Max.

The new V-Max prototype has been doing the rounds at major motorcycle shows for the past 18 months – although only a full-scale model, the bike did show the firm’s V4 Otodama motor which is widely expected to be at the heart of the finished motorcycle.

Although the bike will be presented to journalists in Madrid at the same time as it is launched on the website the bike won’t be able to be ridden until around September with it expected in dealers Spring 2009.

To see the rolling countdown and bookmark the website so that you can see the bike first, without having to wait for a rubbish CGI drawing in a weakly paper (sic), go to: http://www.yamaha-motor-europe.com/

We all know what it's going to look like. Well, just about... I'm interested in finding out what power that V4 is punting out.. Desmosedici makes 200bhp from 990cc...

Maybe you just need a smaller bike that you're able to handle.

I think you two should just get a room and forget about a threesome. Its pretty obvious you're only hot for each other.
