So is anyone here buying the new VMAX?

Just curious...as Yamaha is limiting import to 100 bikes, they're clearing looking at using restricted supply to artificially inflate prices.

I really like the look of it, but it will be a cold day in hell, or the other end of a big lottery win, before I spend sixteen-fahcking-thahsand-pahnds on a motorbike

How about you? Anyone got the urge in this post credit crunch dirge

The new Yamaha VMAX has been "released" and whilst I have dubious taste, it looks rather cute.

Sadly, Yamaha are restricting the numbers to be imported into the UK to only 100 bikes.

Customers are then expected to pay £16,000 for the privilege of ownership of said icon.

At that price, the only thing that would be maxed is my credit limit. Hence I was wondering if anyone else from here was seriously thinking of putting their name down do I could go and press my ugly face against their garage window

I wonder how long they are going to remain hard to get hold of? Maybe £16k is not that steep compared to some models from Harley and Victory, but it's still running way too rich for me

Got to admit I rather like that in a kind of 'mad Max post apocalyptic unapologetically mean bd looking' way

Too bloody big for me though

Hmmm, I'd find better things to spend £16k on TBH.

£/kg it's cheap. 320kg! Makes my B-King seem almost lightweight.

Perhaps Yamaha are hoping it will have a gravity centre all of it's own, forming a black hole which will suck money out of punters' pockets?

So we've not had any takers on here so far....anyone signing up for this thing?

...I'll only bump this one more time...I'm just curious to know what demand might be like for these as I want one in a couple of years time when prices have come down to something sensible.

Is there demand, or is the new v-max sinking faster than this topic
