    Cracking down on novelty helmets

    I live in WA- about 15 minutes from ID. Obviously I see lots of folks over there not wearing helmets. I rode once over there from one car lot to the next without my helmet on. I did not like that feeling at all. That being said- I think individuals should have the choice to wear a helmet or...

    Well things are looking good. I've got a negotiated deal on the '07!

    Shopping for first 1st gen!

    So does the weep of oil scare anyone? Looks like Yamaha took care of it under the TSB- but should I be concerned? At 1548 miles this bike is basically new- but 8 years old. I'm not sure if I should be viewing this as a good opportunity on an extremely low mile bike; or a potential problem.

    Shopping for first 1st gen!

    Just spoke to him- he's had it for 3 years. Bought it from the local Yamaha dealer with 125 miles on it. Never down or anything just never ridden. He mentioned that there was a recall/tech bulletin about head torque on those?? Never remember seeing that. Apparently it was weeping a little oil...

    Shopping for first 1st gen!

    The matte carbon looked weird. But if it's an overlay I guess that explains that. Other odd thing was his history report showed a Virago 750- which oddly enough didn't even exist in 1999. Not to be picky- but a C5 Corvette and a modded Z car (and the VMax) just don't add up with the look of...

    Shopping for first 1st gen!

    This one has been listed for a bit. Not sure what is is but it seems a little odd to me. http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/mcy/5005217541.html There's an 07 I found too- I really like the black wheels.....

    Shopping for first 1st gen!

    I missed an 04 here with about 23k on it for 4195 about 10 days ago. Theres a carbon 00 in OR with 6200 miles but it's listed at 6950- seems a bit high to me. Granted it has low miles. Also a carbon 99 with 12k on it for 5000- something doesn't seem right with that one though....not sure what...

    That makes sense then- I found that the fuel tank cover was a -10 part number in 01 and 02 which tells me something changed- looks like the color. Anyone know if the 99-00 carbon is glossy or flat? Mike- I'll check out your 06- but like you said- long trip. Probably expensive shipping. Though...

    Shopping for first 1st gen!

    Hi guys! Just signed up to the forum. I've got the bike itch again and I think my sportbike days are over- so I'm highly considering a VMax. Just for information's sake- the other bikes I'm considering: Superhawk, Blackbird, Interceptor. My concern in my wrists and my passenger comfort...

    CF- carbon fiber. The tank cover is a slightly different part number- so I'm guessing a different color in '99 and '00 vs '01 and '02.

    Howdy all!! First and foremost- I don't have a Max yet- I'm still shopping. I've been riding for just about 20 years now- my street bike history has been the following: '84 Nighthawk S, '87 VFR700F2, '98 CBR900RR, '02 748S. My wrists couldn't take the heaviness of the Ducati- so that was my...
