    This bike eats rear tires

    Got things all wrapped up last Monday. New Shinko tire on the rear end, balanced out nice, so far, so good. 142.00 dollars shipped from Amazon. I got 43 into the mounting and disposal so out the door, new tire, 185 bucks. If I get 5000 miles out of it, I'll be satisfied.

    Planet Vmax, the Land of the UFO

    I'm going to do that soon, I cannot stand the factory rear fender. I also want to get the yellow LED's on the radiator covers for the front turn signals.

    Got the back tire dropped, it was easier than I imagined.

    Just got my Shinko Verge in the mail today. Now I am going to drop the rear tire for the first time.

    Gen2 idle compared to Gen1 idle

    I agree Danny, I used to own a gen 1 with marks and i don't think the sound can be duplicated. Trying to decide on steel wool are fiberglass packing before I place the order.

    Good deal on a Gen 1?

    Yamaha FZ-09

    My first bike was a YZ80 when I was 12 it was much fun and helps with future street riding, no doubt. I want to thank everyone so far for the input and as of now, this wheelie tendency of the FZ-09 makes me think that my kid isn't responsible or skilled enough yet to handle such a machine. I...

    First day out ,need some advice.

    PierceW. I would recommend Marks Exhaust for the sound you're looking for. He will make the cans as loud or as mellow as you want by varying the length and diameter of the discharge size.

    Yamaha FZ-09

    I have been looking into the FZ-09 as a first bike for my son. I sat on one the other day and it felt good. Anyone else have any thoughts on this machine? From what I'm reading, I think it would be a good starter bike and fun and I could easily talk my kid into letting me ride it.

    New Valkyrie

    I know a guy where I work who would just love this new Honda, but it's not for me.

    Take a look at this........

    I gotta agree with the other guys about the big bore and advertised HP. Who bores out an engine, adds a stage 7 kit but keeps the factory headers? How can the engine even run right if you open up the intake without opening up the exhaust? To me, it's trying to breathe through a straw. I...

    Take a look at this........

    Without proof, none of what the seller says means anything. Hand him $2500.00 cash and ask for a test ride. Take the thing somewhere out in the open and wring it out. If you like it, tell him that's your final offer and ask for the title.

    Welcome aboard Sarge, the Vmax regardless of generation, is just a great bike. I have owned 10 different bikes over the course of my life and the Vmax has been the funnest one of all. I wish you many days of safe and happy riding.

    Planet Vmax, the Land of the UFO

    I will do that Patmax. I think I am going to try PlanetVmax in hopes that they deliver good. The place has a got a bad rap over the years, but if their stuff is good, then I see no reason not to give them some good PR and help their business out.

    This bike eats rear tires

    Right now, I'm seeing the Shinko Verge in the 200 size for around 135.00 shipped, 4500-5000 miles sounds like a good value to me.
