True to the original V-Max concept, the 2009 MY European Version retains the full drag bike DNA with premium streetability and massive styling, as well. The mighty V4 engine and shaft final transmission are in place, just like the huge amount of torque and power which make the V-Max a force to be reckoned with on the road.
Beefy 52mm forks are in a league of their own, while sport bike-derived brakes and new-generation ABS are also a must for dependable stopping power. Cue some styling upgrades for the new model year and prepare to hold on tight to the bars of the 2009 MY V-Max.
