Any Vmax owners here?

Just get an H2 with me next year.

Ha! I don't think I have ever bought a bike for over $6K because I am too cheap. Those are a sweet machine but dear lord are they pricey.

I have owned 15+ motorcycles and they have all been sport bikes. Earlier in the year I picked up an FZ09 to sort of fit the hybrid category as a sport/cruiser bike and it has served well. I do like the FZ a lot but with adding an R1 to my garage two weeks ago, I think it would be nice to have a full blown cruiser. The VMAX have always appealed to me for their aggressive look, sound and power; all at a very reasonable price. Most of my friends have all moved away from sport bikes but at heart, that's where I feel at home. I know some years of them had bad second gear problems but I think they were addressed in the early 2000's? I found a couple local to me that I want to check out since I have never even planted my ass on one.

If you decide to buy 1, don't look at it as a potential resale item. They take a while to sell as it's a different riding crowd.
