Hello everyone my name is Jason and I just recently made an account here and have started looking at a 1997 VMAX.
The dealer is selling the 1997 for $3350 but it has 33.023 miles on the bike. My dad has had a Yamaha, I forget what, that has basically the same engine but without V-boost and etc and told me 33,000 miles isn't high for the engine. He even has heard of people with 100,000+ miles on their engines and I've ran across similar information on this site. I ask because I'm the type of person that would have the VMAX for life as I love them and have for awhile.
The dealer has replaced fork springs and the bike has brand new tires. I also saw that the previous owner has put on Holeshot exhaust but other than that obvious upgrade I'm not sure. I actually talked to the dealerships owner who is a VMAX fanatic and owns 2-3 VMAX's himself. He didn't tell me much just how great VMAX's are.
Below is a link for pictures and even a short youtube clip of it running. Any opinions on the bike and if the price is right would be appreciated. Because I'm going to a funeral it will be a while before I'm able to look at the bike again so I hope that and me never showing any emotion will help to drive the price down a little bit.
