Ride a VMax. Your hands will most likely shake afterwards (mine do every time). She can scare you to death, she can also make you feel alive. It is a bike like no other. Legend.

Supposedly the VMAX gen 2 puts out 165 hp at the rear wheel. My gen 1 Vmax has been tested at 138hp to the real wheel. Given that the gen 1(630lb) is 53 pounds less the gen 2 (683lb) should stay right with the gen 2 in the 1/4 mile and 0-60! ( Rock 710lb) Note: weights are wet!

I own both the 3R Rocket and the Gen 2 Vmax. Love both of them as they are very different. The Vmax is a blast but, the Rocket is a better ride and handles much better in the turns.

Yamms acknowledged the Raider!!! My work here is done.

I love my Vrod! I’m about to trade it in for a rocket however. She will be missed 😔. Great list!

I liked the idea of the Octane, my concern was the single year production and parts availability and little to no aftermarket support. Chose a Nightrod Special.. not disappointed at all. Hilariously fast.

Yamyam! Would love a Yamaha V-max session. And why not the MT-01? It was the sci-fi version of V-max in the early 20s. Miss that bike. At the same time the XT-660 was dead cool. For a period Yamaha managed great design, even to motards. Never been done before, or again

Inverted front forks, aluminum frame, aluminum wheels, & sculpted tins. With a three revolution per shift of the rear wheel! This bike rocked!!!

You are mistaken about the vrod night rod, the VRSCSE2 vrod screaming eagle 2006 , came out before the night rod and it has the 1250 cc 125 horsepower engine, and absolutely better looking than the night rod, with chrome everywhere and very unique colors

This list doesn't include the first muscle cruiser the old Kawasaki eliminators the ZL900 or the ZL1000 faster then all 0-60 time wise. Most will over take it in a 1/4 mile but that's a limitation of it's time

HELL YES RIDE A VMAX!!!! I have a Suzuki Madura that I've done done fancy wiz bang stuff to and made it 115whp. Not saying that's great but on a 560lb bike that came factory rated at 80whp I think it's a pretty good improvement. I haven't gotten to swing a leg over the VMAX yet.....but idk if I want to. It may be one of those things that makes me immediately sell my bike and go buy one lol

All the power jokes aside, I hear the V-Max is super comfortable. Combine that with that engine and OMG it's a shaft drive (how can that be fast?!...lol). They're even hard to find used, but the ones I've seen most riders don't really mod them to a crazy extent. As far as bikes go it's really not that intimidating until you try to test your bravery.

I love Moto Guzzi, but I have a bone to pick with them. In all other applications a transverse mounted motor has a crankshaft that is parallel with the axles, whereas the Guzzi crankshafts are perpendicular to the axles (like with a traditional front engine rear drive car). Guzzi doesn’t really have transversely mounted motors 🤷🏽‍♂️

Love my little Victory Octane. Might add a second to garage. It is around 400lbs lighter than my Indian Challenger. The Octane is fun to ride. Light and easy to handle and maneuver. Get the RPM's over 4k and crack throttle. Feels like a turbo kicks in as it takes off into its power band. Crazy fun. Isnt the fastest bike going, but it will leave a lot of bikers shocked when they cant beat the little bike. I loved my Vrods as well, but this Octane is a lot easier to handle.

Damn man, yeah u really need to get on a gen2 vmax, nothing rides like it, breaking the wheel out in the first 3 gears, also it doesnt need a 6th gear at 80 mph ur at about 4500 rpm in 5th, the rev limiter doesnt kick in till past 10k. Removing the stock speed limiter u can hit 170-175mph, keep in mind thats with no fairing just brute force. I was hitting 10.5s at the 1/4 mile drag all night on my bone stock 2018, and i wasnt hard hard launching either.
