I rode one on a demo ride in 2009 and all I can say is there is no comparison. When I got back on Redbone it felt way less powerful and a didn't handle as well.I want a new vmax..I have over 25k into my 96...I am dying to try the new one though...Any thoughts how it compares to the old max??
Save the coin and find a B-King
There was a supercharged gen 1 on here a while ago that would embarrass gen2's. It was hardly your average gen1 but it was for sale for about half the price of a gen2.
My problem with the gen 2 is it's too expensive and it's absolutely absymal mileage. 80 miles to a tank...I couldn't make my commute without filling up. If I was going to drop that kind of a money on a bike, I'd get a S1000RR....it's about 2k cheaper, puts 190hp to the tire(bone stock), and weighs a touch over 400lbs, and has enough electronics and gizmos to pilot the space shuttle. If you lose the gizmos, it's more like $4k cheaper. It also gets 40mpg.
