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!

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...
