[@deathscythehell7937]

Yes, yes, I'm not a cruiser person but when Ducati was giving a free ride tour my wife talked me into trying one. Holy crap was it exciting the Xdiavel S had goosebumps down my arms afterwards. My wife just looked at me and smiled six weeks later we ordered two one for her and one for me. Now we're always on them every time we get a chance that bike religated our V4S and V4R to track bikes. Because of the riding position we can ride all day, love that bike.

Supposedly the VMAX gen 2 puts out 165 hp at the rear wheel. My gen 1 Vmax has been tested at 138hp to the real wheel. Given that the gen 1(630lb) is 53 pounds less the gen 2 (683lb) should stay right with the gen 2 in the 1/4 mile and 0-60! ( Rock 710lb) Note: weights are wet!

[@GranpaMike]

If you ever have an opportunity to ride a VMax, take it. I've owned or ridden many different bikes, my VMax was the best. Nothing else came close. Other bikes had qualities I enjoyed, but Max was in its own league. Not a good pick for long rides -- small tank and short range, plus your butt goes nerve dead in about an hour -- but marvelous for cruising. You know you're sitting on something ferocious, even before you start the engine. Mine was a '95 (1st gen) with the smaller engine, but it was still a beast. The newer 2nd gen bikes had to be incredible. Hey, if it's good enough for the Ghost Rider...
