Ok, I have to admit, I've only owned my V-Max for a few weeks so far, but I gotta say I am LOVING this bike so far. It took me a bit to get used to it coming from the sport bike arena, but now that I am adapted, I just LOVE this bike!
I have to say overall more than any bike I've ever owned.
No, it's not the fastest any more, and wasn't as fast as the "legend" I had built up in my head, but it's just a SWEET damn bike. No wonder Yamaha built it for so long with essentially no changes.
It's made my ride to and from work a treat, and I can't wait to go ride the thing. I feel like a kid again with my first bike.
I'm even enjoying actually being able to work and tinker with a bike again, unlike the CBR600 I traded, which was like owning a Honda Civic. It's a great car, but just not much to do with it except ride it.
I'm even liking the imperfections the thing has; adds to that thing we call "Character."
I'm enjoying the type of attention it gets; just today some dude went out of his way in a jeep to pull along side me and start asking me a bunch of questions about it, "Wow, do they still make THOSE? Do you like it? How FAST is it? That thing looks AWESOME!" etc, lol.
Anyway, can you guys relate to this? Does your Max just put a smile on your face every time you throw a leg over it?
Man I love this bike! unk:
