buying

I'm a new member and first time VMax buyer. I came close about 10 years ago, but I 22 and single; I could afford the bike but not the insurance. I'm finally in a place where I can get back to it. I've got a line on what seems to be some good deals. This one would be the easiest for me to get...

Hi guys. I am thinking of buying a Max from a dealership that is too far to drive to. Anyone have any experience with this process? Am I crazy to even consider it? I am looking for a 2005 low mileage model and I know that there are obviously only a limited number that are going to be available.

Hello Everyone, I am new to the Forum and wanted to ask all of you for some assistance. I am buying a Vmax possibly in the next few days. I have found a few locally here in Vancouver BC and am making my rounds to check them out. i saw an 01 carbon grey paint, about 28000 Kms on the dial...

So I was outside playing with my vmax and ended up taking all of the body off of it lol, the only thing I can't seem to remove is the front finder, unscrewed the 4 bolts but it still seems to be stuck. Anyhow. I figured this is a good time to paint, it's rainy, cold and well something I have...

Well the famous California Bay Craigslist add that we all were laughing at is now on Ebay. I decided to bid. I am looking for some more yard art! :rofl_200: G

Hi guys, first post. I've been into the V-Max since around 1986-1987, always wanted one. Having recently sold my 1098s, I find myself bikeless and am thinking about the bikes I'd love to replace the Ducati with. I went from Toronto to Portmouth, Maine, and back, and it hurt. V-Max would be...

I've been looking at GPS's for my bikes quite a while now. I can't seem to get past the part of them being so expensive for a bike. My troubles are bigger because I want to be able to use it on any of the bikes... That could mean that I need to pick up multiple sets of mounting hardware. What...

I know should be getting a Gen II but with the price, weight and health I'm just not up for that... I test rode the VMax and FZ-8 back to back and was way more at ease on the lighter bike. Power seemed to be very good on it. Now the problem is to find a dealer who will deal. First quote from...

I figured I'd start this thread since it seems like a common question. Feel free to contribute any info you think is relevant. So, you've decided to buy a Gen1 Vmax. I'm sure there are some questions you have before taking the plunge. Here are answers to the most common ones. Q. What year is...

I'm more than likely going to pick up a 88 Vmax tomorrow. I'm pretty excited but I have to say that after doing alot of reading on the web I'm concerned about the handling. Most of my other bikes have been sport bikes and I'm used to them handling well. My imeediate questions are these...

Last time I posted for opinions on a vmax I was considering and got great feedback. Thanks! Need your help again...I'm looking at a '06 for a great price, the catch is it's a prior salvage title. What should I look for? Should this scare me away? Is 3500 a good price? Thanks in advance...
