If the Duc weighs in at the 440lbs dry weight that they claim, it will be at least 200lbs lighter than the Vmax.
Acceleration will be awesome for a cruiser, and handling will probably be the best on the market for this type of bike.

In a straight line or on the 1/4 mile the VMax will be infront but in real-world riding, the Duck will be a much more versitile machine. And it might even be comfortable! I rode the new Multi the other day and I was quite impressed. Good to see some open minds, apart from the usual suspects, like me old mate flynbullshit

The Ducati will be a rocket in the muscle cruiser class if the hit the weight target.
See Ducati will go like a 200bhp Harley

I heard from someone who heard that in the morning sales meeting last week at my local dealership
it was announced that the Ducati cruiser model has been scrapped, canceled, killed ...
