Just got this months issue of motorcyclist magazine naming thier bikes of the 2009 year.
"2009 Best Cruiser,
Star Vmax
Its Somewhere between affliction and obsession. Turn a red light green and some of us - We know who we are, and so does the DMV - devour the next city block, freeway on-ramp or quartermile, leaving a trail of smoking rubber to punctuate the moment.
Yamaha understands, which is why it builds the Star V-max. There are quicker ways to cover 1320 feet of pavement on two wheels, but there's nothing like the 110lb.-ft. kick in the tighty whiteys from this 1679cc V-four. Unlike your average chrome-plated tributeto the swing era, Mr. Max isn't afraid of showing a little high-tech skin: Fly-by-wire throttle, variable length intake stacks, die-cast aluminum frame...You get the idea. Technology cured 'Max's chrinic conering anxiety as well, elevating him to the top of the saturday-night food chain. But omnipotence begets benevolence. So go ahead and look. You can't touch this."
For those of you wondering, Motorcyclist magazine's over all bike of the year for 2009 was the Yamaha YZF-R1.
