The 2008 VMax

[Gerald]

Anyone knows how much is it and whether Singapore is selling it?

 

Its been a long time since a bike hit me soooo hard that I am thinking of buying it hot off the shelf.

 

It 1700cc... cannot imagine the acceleration...phew!

Or how about 2009 VMax???

[DeusExMachina]

Have a bad feeling it's gonna cost abt $30K or above....

 

Of course, I hope not.

[macarama]

wooo.....looks very macho and strong

[diddy the patient]

lets welcome back V-max

[Gerald]

i dont think its gonna be 30k... afterall, its a naked japanese bike. Maybe in the price range of MT-01.. I'd say prolly below 25k.

[GiantValk]

I'd say Gerald is pretty accurate.

 

Prob 25k OTR.

 

Between the prices of the XVS1900 and the FJR13, i think.

197bhp, 117 torque. Only 2000 of this beast are manufaactured yearly. Saw it in a magazine UK selling at 17,000 pounds. US at about USD$18,000. So may be Sing will be nearly $40,000. This bike not for any Tom, **** & Hairy. I am also a big Max fans.

[Gerald]

brother, how on earth USD18,000 become SGD40,000??? Something is wrong with the figures leh..17k pounds is way more than 18kUSD...and 18K USD is less than the 40kSGD you mentioned.

 

Which is which?

 

I doubt its 40k cos that would be more expensive than a Harley VRod and a BMW K1200. Not many people will bite. Its a Japanese bike afterall.

 

I did hear of its limited production units available. In fact, you need to "reserve" your Vmax on the Yamaha website...

A typical Jap big four 1000cc sportbike goes for USD10K out the door.... and $24K OTR here.

 

Exchange rate, Diff tax structure and etc.

 

If we go by the same, a USD18K bike will probably cost about $42K plus here.

 

A standard Duc 1098 goes for 15K out the door in the US, here it's about 40K... so....

[warrior.c.o.n.p]

WoW nice bike. look strong n macho

 

If this jap bike costs more than 30k might as well get euro bike like The Duke, Ducati, n etc. but still up to the individual.

Sorry mate if i confuse you, anyway i am not keen to debate over this, but below are the figures stated from the mag, I am just a common reader.

August 08 Cycle World - USD$17,990

August 08 TWO - 16,000 pounds

 

I bought my Max then at S$16,500, but in the states they were selling at USD$4,500 leh.

 

If you are really into Max, i have every single magazine write-up since 1992 with regards to V-Max still well kept in my little humble books cabinet which I can lend it to you.

 

Cheers to the V-Max.

speaking of which...of all the bikes price i observed, I think UK price is somewhat closer to spore price. HOWEVER....I am very very sure that Harley and BMW bike price in SPore is definitly one of the most expensive in the world! The agent marked up quite a bit on it.

Gee..the guys in the states had it good... USD 18K for the new max... if only spore price is like that.

 

I used to own a Vmax too... crazy power... but i sold it off..the new max is turning me on again.. ha ha..

[Lion]

So any idea how much it would cost local?

[sp2]

just back from hong leong ... was told the V-Max on the road cost a whopping $$$50,000.... wow man...

Wow... but I suppose it's sort of "limited edition", like only 2,000 units per year.. so the pricing also a bit more "exclusive"?

the Americans are a lucky bunch to be able to own one for US18k! How I wish I can lay my hands on one too!

[cb1]

price will drop slowly.........not to be too upset for those eyeing......its "Always" limited edition.....

[deckard]

I thought it is a crusier? or is a naked bike ??

[cb1]

neither king of straights........perhaps

[Pyok]

saw the Vmax17 @ Hong Leong recently, very nice muscular bike... but the prize is crazy man @ SGD 48000 machine price. If the price drops more maybe more riders would purchase it........

[piggyback1974]

just saw the v max 2008 on road along eunos near to pie. power !!!
