Just bought a ROCKET. Being that I’ve now owned both a V-MAX and now a ROCKET, I can say that I’ve lived in both worlds. BOTH have amazing power! BOTH have neck snapping looks! YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH EITHER BIKE! With great power comes great responsibility.

Love all three of these bikes! I drive a 85 VMax, so I would likely stay with the dark side of the force and go with the VMax. All of these bikes are amazing.

I have a 2018 Vmax. The torque and power is mind numbing. Instant power, from idle to 9500 rpm. It handles great! )-60 Is crazy, and around 75-80mph it lights the back tire up, spinning like I am on sand. I stuff it in the corners hard, and it sticks. Out of the corner, there is crazy power on the exit.

The bike is also low enough for us shorter types in that you can position your feet clear of them anyway. I would say go for it, while you can still get one. They really are one of the easiest bikes to ride, even at walking pace in town traffic. They are heavy, but only noticeable when wheeling it in and out of the garage. Once on the move it is actually very stable and incredibly manoeuvrable, much more than you would expect. If you are a competent rider you could easily keep up with sports bikes. Build quality is the best I have ever seen. The bike has such presence, and the great thing is no one else has one, so you’ll be totally unique!

@@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies genius, pure genius!!! I dont personally care for the way a gen 2 max feels versus my gen 1, but my god, its amazing to ride!

Nothing like the R3. The other 2 also impressive machines but seriously nobody turns their head to say check out that Yamaha...

That's what you think. It's a rad bike. It's a hot rod .

No one checks truimph anyway, if you are riding ducati you would attract more people than any truimph you will ever own.

I had a V-M a few years back and absolutely loved it. Deff one bike I would buy again. At the time I also had trial runs on the R3 and the Devil. The R3 was very good but just felt over the top and the Devil was a mixed bag. I just didn’t think that the engine suited the bike. The Ducati dealer pushed me to try it out as I also had a 1098R. I spent a few hours with it but it was not for me. The V-M was brilliant for everyday pottering about and that engine was so flexible. But that new R3 just looks the mutt’s nut’s. I need to try one.

You surely wont be disappointed. Most fun I have with my clothes on is on the Rocket 3. Such a fun bike!

That's the ultimate showdown

cheers Paul. I love the visual riding position triangle presented in this vid. For me, it's the Rocket 3 all the way. Cheers Cuz!

Very nicely explained amazing infographics.

Thank you! 👍

Diavel S. Has the best lean angle. The higher HP in the others doesn't matter. In a turn it puts the power to the ground.

VMAX beats any machine, real muscle bike not joke , just power

Need to ride them, I know the diavel is a sportier ride against the rocket but obviously not on grunt or luxury feel, but then u have the GT which is different again, that is more comfortable for distance. As of April 2020

I owned the first year rocket and the new styling is much sexier. I would still buy the Vmax because of cost.

Long time ago, I had a V-Max 1200 for some years and the only happiness I got from it was when I opened full throttle at green lights and its V-boost acceleration on straight roads. It was just awful at curves at more than 100 km/h and it was a heavy gas drinker.

Police department in my area was tired of getting outrun by crotch rockets, so they bought 4 Yamaha V-Max bikes. They haven't been outrun since...

V MAX is the best has been since the first one was made.Most bang and low low maintenance cost.

Durability and reliability is what I look for. Any cruiser recommendations?

Triumph all day long. Lot of money but lot of bike.

xDiavel S - completely different bike from the Diavel only sharing the front brake calipers even though similar name - would be a more interesting comparo for this video. Its also more powerful and quicker than the Diavel.

I agree but its also more money.

Diavel. On every level looks from looks to performance to bone shaking sound with full akro exhaust. Best of all, it handles so well.

Nice video, but in the end nothing beats riding the bikes to determine which is best for you. I also think a fair compare will be when the standard production rocket is out, not the TFC.
