Fonzie Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 August Cycle World did a much more in depth feature on the new V-Max as opposed to Sport Rider or MotorCyclist. They even gave it the cover, which at that angle, got me to thinking of similarities between it & the B-King, and ultimately.......Which of the 2 did I like better/would I choose???Ergo......I thought it'd make an interesting poll question, as both bikes seem to stir strong emotions in people...... one way or the otherSoooooo.......If you had to choose one of these 2 bikes as your next purchase....Which would it be?

NinjaNick Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I voted VMAX, but I can't change it because I think the BKING would handle MUCH better probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 the b-king looks like a unique, useable bike, the v-max is just another cruiser (more power than most others, but still just another copycat cruiser) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC51 John Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 V-Max is one hell of a bike. The B-King is the ugliest fucking thing I have ever seen. It even beats the Hayabusa in the fugly department and that is hard to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_SV650 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 went with VMAX, I like its looks a little better than the B-King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 the b-king looks like a unique, useable bike, the v-max is just another cruiser (more power than most others, but still just another copycat cruiser)Dude, that is just retarded. No cruiser out there is anything like the Vmax. That is like saying that your 'bird is a copy of a 250 Ninja, since they are both sportbikes. Stop hating. I like the Vmax better, but considering its price, weight and the B-kings handling prowess and riding position, I'd buy the King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Dude, that is just retarded. No cruiser out there is anything like the Vmax....in your opinion...kudos to yamaha for building a bike that harley wanted to copy...*cough*v-rod*cough*That is like saying that your 'bird is a copy of a 250 Ninja, since they are both sportbikes. not quite, but someone could make the statement that it looks similar to alot of other sport bikes (I didn't say the v-max was a rebel replica) Stop hating. Not hating, weighing in my opinion on a poll...I like the Vmax better, ........................some justification of price.................................................. I'd buy the King.

Unk Greg Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 While shopping for bikes. Saw the B-King. Thought it ugly, also (the lil' outriggers thangs. Kid luvved it howver. So, vote for me? It'd be VMax by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 BKing. Easy choice. It's a naked Busa. And both are BEAUTIFUL!!!! Not like the V crap that has styling that belongs in the 1980s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSRAaron Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I like the looks of both...but the B-king got my vote this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOJIRA Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I vote for neither. But what cracks me up is the "stop hatin" comment. Somebodys always hatin on the busa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the Busa guys are bad? Look at most of the Vmax guys. They think they can outrun any sport bike. What a fuckin joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I didnt say anything about outrunning anything. I think you have me confused with the Vmax riding cop that was chased off of here a while back. I LIKE MY BIKE, and I dont care if any of you like it. I just think it is fucking funny how some of you seem to have an issue with anything that isnt a full blown sport bike. Its called OhioRiders, not OhioSportBikeRiders.

I don't have a problem with what anybody rides. It's all the bashing of brands an models of bikes that will keep us REAL bikers from coming together as one. It's not just the bashing of brands either. Bashing of stunt riders,tour riders etc etc just needs to stop. I never understood why people have to hate on everybody elses shit. Get a life! Get on your fuckin bike an ride!By the way,did you see this months issue of SuperStreetbike? VMAX Streetfighter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like alot of the Vmax riders think that they have a super fast bike. Me and the Fonz were talking about this very thing yesterday. The Vmax is a fine bike. But it's no competition for a sport bike.It gets real old hearing all of the bashing towards the Busa and the Busa pilots. "Must be compesating for a small dick" "Busa pilots are shit talkers" Not all Busa pilots walk around thinking we are badasses. On the Hayabusa forum there is 17K+ members. 15K dont act that way. Squids ride Busas too ya know but that doesn't make all Busa owners squids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing them in one of my dad's mags when they first came out, & thinkin' "That thing looks BAD AZZZZ with those scoops on the side"!! Would love to ride one some day! They feel comfy as hell to sit on, but my neighbor down the street claims not so much with both feet on the pegs. Claims you're kinda leaning/slanting backward. That's why I haven't voted in my own poll yet.....Can't decide!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make you sit slightly forward, but the seat sucks after an hour or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah......I got a kick outta my neighbor on the V-Max Sunday. We rode to the next town over, 'bout 25 miles west/50 mile round trip. I had to drop something off/pick something up at my in laws. He stops over later that night and asks if I'm sore. I'm like "Whaaaat?!?" He says him & wifey are sore from our earlier ride, & that's the longest one they've ever been on....Usually he just rides around town. I just kinda chuckled & reminded him that I'd just been down to C-Bus for 275 miles & headin' to Pitt this weekend for 500 more, + the 500 from the first attempt. Not to mention the 1,200 miles around Lake Michigan last summer. Told him I was afraid they were thinkin' our ride was too short, 'cause it almost wasn't worth me gettin' my gear on & dirtyin' 'Birdy!
