The max as a Vboost system thats hits in at 6000 revs which makes it like riding a rocket, 0- 100mph in 5.5 secs not bad for a unfaired monster
Just imagine what it would do if you tricked it. I had a 400RR race tuned Honda and I used to pass the "big boys" If we stopped at the lights I could see them check what it was I don't think they believed it was a 400 It was a little like the VMax, as when it hit about 6000 if felt as if an extra engine had started up...fantastic. When I sold it through a garage a friend runs, it was sold within an hour. I even got an extra £50 so I wouldn't change me mind
