Default New design 2009 Yamaha VMAX motorcycle

I've been anticipating this release for a long time:

Edit: "Only" $18,000, eh? Too bad, Yamaha. With the white elephantSUV sitting in the driveway gathering dust, people are going to be buyinga newFit,Yaris, or a Smart for that kind of dough.

Nice bike, but I'm not really a huge fan of the inlet and muffler design .... too big, but otherwise, really nice!!!

Nice. That thing is huge! But for that kind of money, I would buy a Harley. The intakes on the sidelook like some sort of supercharger wannabe though. I'm not a fan of that.

For 18k.....I could do so much better.

Rebuild the motor, work on the car's exterior, sound, etc.

Or buy myself a nice commuter car lol
