They say that Babe Ruth liked to pet kittens. We all know that KingKong had a soft spot for blondes, and General Patton loved his dogs.Titans can show some tenderness now and then . . . even exercise somefinesse. But it is power we remember them for. Ruth smashing 400 foothome runs. King Kong swatting airplanes at the top of the Empire Statebuilding, and Patton crushing the Third Reich on the plains of northernAfrica.
        The new Star VMax has its charming side, as well. As we learnedduring our first ride here in Southern California, it actually goesaround corners pretty well, it can stop on a dime, and it will cruiseeasily (even comfortably) for extended rides. But as you finish yourfirst ride on the new VMax only one impression remains. Power. MassivePower. Power you never expected to experience on a street legalmotorcycle.
We've ridden them all. The ZX-14. The Vulcan 2000 with its 2053 ccv-twin. The Hayabusa, and the Honda Rune with its 1832 cc flat six fedby a half dozen throttle bodies. Nothing leaves a stop light like thenew VMax. The VMax is laying down more than 100 pound/feet of torque atthe rear tire before inline-fours like the ZX-14 and Hayabusa havefinished clearing their throats. Like many things in life, it issomething you have to experience to fully appreciate and understand.
The new VMax is an expensive motorcycle (U.S. MSRP is $17,990), andfor good reason. The engine and chassis have been purpose built withstate-of-the-art design, and the components are top shelf by anystandard. Brembo brake master cylinders, front and rear, six-pistonfront brake calipers mounted radially, fully-adjustable suspension(compression, rebound and spring preload front and rear) all aluminumchassis with "tuned flex", three CPUs and instrumentation that includesan "organic electro luminescence multi-function display". The new VMaxhas all that, and it has THAT ENGINE.

  
As we said in our preview article,that engine is 1679cc of 65
