Rumoured £16,000 in the UK though!!

That is a fair chunk of change for a bike! Im just currently going through my bike test now, just passed the theory, need to book in for the intensive practical.
Still undecided whether to get a sports bike or a more laid back cruiser like a Harley

Breaker, that is a fantastic looking bike. Why is it so expensive though, that's a lot compared to the race reps??

Jas667, I would be looking for something like this, or a Harley, look brilliant to me.

I have the Yamaha MT-01 and that bike is a bit of a "special". I think these bikes are not quite as "production line" as the race reps. The finish is a lot higher on many of the parts.
That V-Max has a V4 engine which apparently is expensive to build. I think it will still sell as the old V-Max has become a bit of a cult bike!
That is still a lot of money though!!

I do believe that it can outrun most production "rice rockets" :wink: Nice to have a cruiser style bike and see the look on the youngsters face when you blow 'em away :lol:

Until, that is, you get to some bends!
Mind you, mine handles great and has surprised a few race rockets!
The handling is meant to be one of the things they have worked on though with the new V-Max.
