Motorcycle Preview for 2009
The big Yamaha news, though, is the return of the V-Max. Newly rejuvenated thanks to a 1,679-cc V-four engine, everything about the new V-Max is huge from its bulbous exhaust system to the crazy 200/55-18 rear tire. The V-Max ($21,999) needs it; Yamaha is claiming 200 hp and 123 pound-feet of torque for the outsized beast.
