One of the world's elite powercruisers, the 1999 V-Max is pure riding excitement and unforgiving power mashed together into a package which is fearsome, as it is rewarding. A machine for experienced riders, this 1190cc V4 beast produces 145 horsepower and exceptional torque right off idle, being equally fun when ridden aggressively uphill, or when blazing along the highway.
The V-Max are available in 100hp versions, too, with the Full-Power units sporting a V-Boost supercharger-type system which adds extra nerve when the rpm indicator flies past the 6000 mark.
