The V-Max has a lot of fans here in Japan, particularly among middle-aged riders. Definitely not a Harley-copy like so many other bikes, the V-Max's unique, powerful design puts it in a league all by itself. This kit lets you complete the bike in its export configuration (the real machine in Japan lacks the horsepower-raising "V-boost" system, but that's not duplicable on a model). The only difference from the domestic version of the kit is the coloring of the exhaust parts and tank. Black exhaust parts, and flat-chrome wheels and suspension details. Wheels turn and steer after assembly. Includes plastic tubing for control lines and real springs for the rear suspension.
