Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha V-MAX 2010

The big Vmax from Yamaha is a unique bike. This applies to the technical side, with the largest V4 engine in a bike of all time, as well as to the emotional side of riding a Vmax. Few bikes can offer such brute grunt in every riding situation, and even fewer of them are cruisers. Although its stubborn turning behaviour detracts from the riding pleasure, the seating position is quite cramped and the sound could be more indicative of the massive displacement, the propulsion is addictive. The Vmax 1700 is definitely a niche product, but also an absolutely awe-inspiring, unique bike.

No matter how you look at it, it's hard to pick a winner with two such independent cruisers. In terms of handling, the Ducati Davel has the edge, of course, especially in tighter terrain, where it benefits from better lean angle clearance and a sportier riding position. The fact that these two fundamentally different motorbikes are nevertheless in the same segment shows once again how well manufacturers now know how to fill even the smallest and most extravagant niche with interesting machines.
