I think “Greatest” is so subjective, but I will throw in my 2 or 3 votes for “most underrated” ( in no particular order ) Richie Blackmore Terry Cath Django Rhinehardt

The some of same people who blip the throttle at intersections, seem to not know how to blip the throttle to rev match as they slow down for an intersection. Seriously, guy. You have a bike that is only good at low end torque, and you fail to use its natural engine braking?

I’m not 100% sure on differential differences. I believe they are the same 85-2008 but I don’t have quite the expertise some others on here do . Sean Morley ( one2DMax) would know for sure, as well as several others. Anyone have any input ?

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on getting a great family heirloom passed down to you. I hope you get lots of miles and smiles out of it. The model names brands call their batteries might vary a little by manufacturer but the basic model/ size you are going to look for for a Gen 1 VMax is a...

I am also a fan of the Valk. I loved that Honda took that stellar Goldwing based Engine and made a stylized, more cruiserish muscle bike. ( Kinda like how Yamaha took the V4 from their version of the Goldwing and tweaked it into a Muscle bike once upon a time ) I’m surprised this Valkyrie...

While you aren’t wrong about displacement to power ratio there, every review and testimonial I hear from anyone who has ridden a base model Rocket 3 let alone this special edition raves about the way they deliver what power they make , not the peak top end HP. They “only” make that HP out of a...

That’s a nice looking bike GLWTS. I have a buddy who had a 990 Dakar. After it met the bottom of a lake he was Temped to look at upgrading to the 1290 Super Adventure. Since the Dakar already had too much power for off-road he opted to stay on road with his next bike and traded it on a Yamaha...

I I have used the screwdriver/ mallet/ punch method mentioned above. It worked fine for me.

I I have to agree, that is one of my favorite factory paint schemes. Great looking Max

Great to have you aboard. This forum has a great community and lots of V max knowledge and experience. Welcome

I don’t think ND charges much over the standard fees for a vanity plate, I should know since I’m paying for one on our Civic Sport .

The EVILV4 idea he had there could easily be shortened to EVLV4 and still make sense

I have always been of fan of all the “chicken tax” era mini trucks. I drove a Ford Courier back in high school. It looks and sounds goood. For what it’s worth, Hot Wheels has a Luv pickup with Tubs in back and velocity stock mechanical FE setup poking out of the hood in their current lineup...

Sean, thanks for reply. If I decide to pull the trigger on this upgrade I will def shoot you a couple emails and see what we could work out .

My 2001 is also adorned in the finest of faux carbon. That was all the rage around the turn of the millennium. Minot, North Dakota. Currently in Guam, and despite being on a tropical paradise, I am actually itching to get back to the States and put some seat ( and maybe a little wrench ) time...

There are plenty of friendly, helpful people with great info on this site. Great find on that ‘86 model. Welcome and I’m sure you will enjoy the seat time on an old Max.

I’m also newly back to this forum under the new site. I had been pretty active when the forum was on tapatalk. I won’t say navigating sucks, but I am getting used to the interface. It is actually pretty user friendly on my phone. It’s nice to be back and see familiar names.

So, when I return to the States in a couple of months I am considering a few an exhaust on my ‘01 Gen 1. The title and previous entries in this thread are exactly what I am looking for. My goals would be losing weight of the stock exhaust, retaining the center stand, and not losing power. I’ve...

The most literal answer : Vixen

Yeah, the cracks look superficial and only in the Bakelite not into the guts itself. There was a noticeable performance difference from off idle up to 2.5-3K from cleaning the corrosion. Performing great for ow, but I am def gonna look into COPS down the road. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
