I think it is tacky, overdone and destroys what the V-Max has been style wise at least. But I am sure it will continue to do what the V-Max has always done well. If they tone down the garrish intake tubes and Exhaust cans, lop off the silly shift light, and clean up the headlamp a bit would be a perfect update. Oh...... and cut $5,000 off the price. That is rediculous.
