Hello guys I'm new here but not new to motorcycles. I'm 29 and have been riding since I was a kid.. I started with Harley then went to sport bikes then vintage bikes then back to Harley.. which ultimately brings me here I currently have a 2013 dyna super glide custom in my garage that's absolutely beautlful and I love it but the payment onit is killing me $300 a month plus my $300 a month car payment plus insurance on both and I'm at over $800 a month in vehicle payments alone before any other bills (not to rant about my financial problem but this is why I'm here) . In the last year that I've had the HD I put maybe 1,500 miles onit.. deff not enough to justify the cost. So long story short I have someone who wants the bike for what I owe so I can get outta that fairly easy.. I was thinking about getting an older vmax for 3-4K and calling it a day.. if buy one, I've read on here that the newer the better.. is there any problems I should be looking out for besides 2nd gear issues? How common are 2nd gear problems on order vmaxs? And also what kind of experience you get riding one, how do most Harley riders treat you, do people always wanna race or come up and talk about the bike ect? The vmax is one of the few bikes I've always wanted to ride but never have.. if I don't end up with a vmax my buddy has a beautiful restored 1979 Suzuki gs1000e that I can grab for 2 grand.. (I've had 4 of them in the past) and I know In the late 70s early 80s Suzuki gs1000/1100 were king of the 1/4.. how will lthe vmax compare to one of these bikes in terms of performance? (Since I've never ridden one) thanks again and i look forward to your replies..
