Harley V-Rod Muscle versus Yamaha VMAX

Now, those of you who know me know that I am not much of a follower of fads - I don't golf, I don't smoke (tobacco) cigars, there is no SUV in my parking space and I do not own a Harley-Davidson (though, I own a MV Agusta, which is now owned by H-D). However, even some sportbike nuts I know like the V-Rod; why, I cannot say. The VMAX, however, is something of a work of passion. Star (Yamaha) should finish what they started, though, and remove the top-speed limitation on this machine...plus, someone just has to do something about that exhaust setup!

On to the article...this is found on the Faster and Faster blog since the original is in German:
