G/f is not around...yet I feel a tingle in the trouser dept.

Hmmm,, What the freak are those bins on the side??? If they were more obviously split into two exits per side it would be better, but other than that looks MEAN.

Always had a soft spot for the V-Max, but never taken the leap yet. That is tasty though except for the exhausts.

Any idea how much it'll cost?

only 197BHP, could do better

like it apart from the exhaust

Errrr......just checked that on the MCN site....they have this to say:

"The price of the 2009 Yamaha V-Max is not yet known, but expect it to be around the £16,000 mark"

HOW MUCH?!

I think they'll struggle to sell 'em at that price, especially as you'll be needing to spend more money on a new set of cans.

That'll buy 3 new commuter bikes or 2 superbikes. I think not.

Wish they'd make up their minds; they printed £12k in the comic the week before. Still, they're not known for letting facts spoil a story.
I'd happily pay that, as long as it handles better than its predecessor.

Stubby pipes and it would be a babe but the price is stupid!
