There's no way one could mistake the V-Max for anything else, by either looks or sound alone. The 2005 V-Max packs the amazing throaty, round sound characteristic to the V4 engines, and with the V-Boost option which lets hell break loose after 6000 rpm, it's easy to figure out why so many people find this bike rather scary.
This power cruiser is a zero-compromise machine created for experienced riders who can handle tons of power and insane torque right off idle. If you're thinking about claiming the king of the street title, the 2005 2005 V-Max could be one of the very best steeds to ride on while at it. 2005 also brings thicker, 43mm forks.
