2007 Yamaha V-Max

Simply awsome. This is an awesome motorcycle (musclebike). Not only because it looks great, but more because it's the only motorcycle that has a 16 valve V-4 engine, and a powerfull one, too.
Here are some features of this motorcycle
Key Features:
Same as always V-Max's rumbly, high-revving muscle-car-inspired 1198cc V-4 engine is in a class by itself.
The original power cruiser has a unique style, stance and look that’s all its own as well as an international fan base.
Bulletproof shaft drive and heavy-duty components throughout back up the V-Max's larger than life personality.
Engine:
1198cc liquid-cooled, DOHC 16-valve 70-degree V-4 engine has no equal in its class, pumping out tremendous, hard-hitting power to make it the ultimate quick-accelerating, high-performance king.
Patented Yamaha “V-Boost” induction, a power-boosting variable intake system, force feeds massive quantities of fuel into the cylinders via a servo-controlled butterfly valve at 6000 RPM and above.
Four 35mm Mikuni downdraft carburetors ensure seamless, lightning-quick throttle response.
Specially designed high-lift camshafts ensure ample acceleration at lower rpm along with legendary top-end for a broad, deep powerband.
Specially tempered crankshaft and connecting rods provide excellent durability.
Smooth-shifting, five-speed transmission puts that massive powerband to the pavement with one purpose: maximum acceleration all the way to redline.
Hydraulically activated diaphragm-type clutch delivers precise clutch performance with lighter pull.
Low-maintenance shaft drive provides ultra-smooth performance that’s virtually lash-free.
Chassis/Suspension:
Low-slung styling keeps the seat low for great handling, confident low-speed maneuvering and V-Max’s unique look.
Stout, 43mm front fork features 5.5 inches of travel and air-assist adjustability for fine-tuning the ride.
Dual rear shocks feature four-position rebound damping and five-way spring-preload adjustability.
Fat, 6-inch rear tire mounted on solid disc wheel hooks up with the asphalt for maximum traction.
Dual 298mm front discs with four-piston calipers and a single 282mm rear disc brakes reel the V-Max in.
Additional Features:
Underseat fuel tank helps balance the bike’s weight and provides space for large-capacity airbox located above the carburetors.
Fuel reserve switch is conveniently positioned on the handlebars.
Fork seal guards help prevent rock and debris damage to fork sliders.
Trick-looking, onyx w/shift red flames finish on fuel tank combine with massive-looking faux air intake scoops to give the V-Max the perfect “street rod” look and feel.
Wide, thickly padded seat and plush passenger saddle with grabrail adds exceptional comfort to the incomparable excitement.
Handy centerstand for convenience and service accessibility.
Compact speedometer unit keeps cockpit clean and simple and offers easy readability of tripmeter/odometer and neutral, high beam, turn signal, low oil and low fuel indicator lights.
To make this review complete, I posted some detailed tehnical specifications

Final Drive : Shaft (personally, I think that shaft drive motorcycles are way better than the ones driven by chain, and safer. You will never get a shaft hit you when it snaps...because it doesn't snap. And the torque and power are way better transmitted through a shaft than through a chain. Not to mention the engine-braking, which works divine with a shaft. It's just better, for some types of motorcycles.i.e: the one I am writing about right now )
