Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2004, 2005
Built for speed and torque on tap, the 2004 V-Max arrives in a special, anniversary trim, with special red paint, blacked out rims with red striping, a serial-numbered plate, yellow turn signals with clear lenses and the same monstrous vibe about it.
The beastly V4 power plant retains the V-boost feature which adds even more craziness above 6000 rpm, while keeping vibration on the low side with the counterbalancer axle. Adjustable suspensions, a hydraulic clutch, R1-derived brakes and a low riding position make the V-Max an even more thrilling fun machine.
