Fast Cruisers

[olegoat345]

Don't think you could call the RUNE or The Valk. a bagger... no bags. Maybe big cruisers? I would say Yamaha's V-Max is more of a drag bike. The older ones would turn in the 11's out of the box, new one's should be faster..... Many years ago, my baby brother, had a new (back then) V-Max, it was wicked fast. He said it was uncomfortable after 30-45 minutes.

My 85 v-max was very uncomfortable. I put a Corbin seat on and it helped a little. Corbin is so hard.
It only weighted 650lb and the power (142hp at the crank) was effortless. But it loved the highway on long cruses, as does the B.
If I could have had a comfortable seat, I never would have got rid of it.
The internet says the 2013 B Has 117hp and 125 ft lbs torque.
Anytime you have more torque that hp, you have a runner!
