Those of you with Gen. 1's will be glad to hear that you have these specs: " For its day, 145 horsepower from its 1,197cc V-Four engine (and that’s genuine, rear wheel horsepower, by the way) was huge, as was its top speed of 149mph."
Ok, whatever. If only... .
The Gen II gets lumped into the category of VMax, which it is of course. A much-improved VMax. Still, as I am fond of pointing out, the Generation 1 VMax lasted longer in production than Henry Ford's Model T.
I think you will have fun reading the facts, even if the bikes are occasionally claimed to be something other than what they actually are/were. Look at the bar graph and remember when the VMax was King of the Hill.
