Fell in love.....

The Yamaha (Star) V max would be closer to the Triumph than the Harley V rod.

V max
Power 113.5 hp
Torque 83.1 ft·lbf

Just stating the facts here with a little of internet browsing.


I agree, I own a (1st gereration) 1995 v-max and can attest to it's speed and power. There is actually a road test that pitted the triumph against the 1st gen, Yamaha V Max, you can probably google and find it. In the end for all the added CC's of the triumph it only beat the v max by 100ths of a second. The Triumph beats the V-max in comfort on the road hands down though.
