COM NAMED IT #6 ON THE TOP TEN MOST POWERFUL. HERE'S THEIR TAKE. So what's the big deal about the VMAX? Just. you know. the fact that it's a 1679cc V4-powered beast that makes 174 hp and can do 0 to 60 in a mere 2. 5 seconds. It boasts a 30. 5-inch seat height. just like the Ducati Diavel. Pricing is similar to the Diavel Dark. but at least a grand less than the other Diavel variants. The Diavel is its closest competition. and like the Duc. its madly futuristic style is polarizing. No matter how we ultimately feel about individual designs themselves. we love it when manufacturers make bikes that don't look like anything else on the road.
