2004 Yamaha
V-Max
MSRP $11,099
Coming up with interesting metaphors and similes for the Yamaha V-Max is like shooting fish in a barrel. I could go to the muscle-bound metaphor, the proverbial Arnold Schwarzenegger call. I could talk about back alley aesthetics and performance, all of which are true, but certainly not original, which in my estimation is a disservice to the V-Max. It is, after all, the quintessential bruiser cruiser intended to create folds in public roadways thanks to mind-boggling torque and acceleration. We should use the V-Max to describe disturbingly strong forces in nature, not the other way around.
