buying

Hello Everyone. I am hoping to buy my first vmax this weekend. I have the choice of two local bikes and I want to go with the slightly cheaper first. Its a purple 1988 with 10k miles, for 2300. I hope to talk the guy down a little bit still. :D. I have seen only pictures and they look good so...

I'm ready to pick up a 1990 with 18k miles, decent overall shape. It's currently not running and the elderly owner says one day it just started running really bad, would not idle right etc. Everything looks there, just partially apart after owner disassembled to troubleshoot, only to give up...

Have you replaced your stock exhast with kick pipes? my bike's stock end piece of left exhaust is scratched a bit deep. I want to replace it. I'm looking for pipe(s) with no rust on the chrome. I'm not sure but it seems I have to replace the both sides since its one piece. Somebody correct me...

am i wrong in thinking that if someone call you and wants you to buy somthing from them used that you the purchaser would set the price you want to pay not they set the price at what they want they are calling you right :hmmm:

Alright so I know this is ultimately a decision that my wife and I have to make on our own. We have narrowed things down to 2 houses that we both like. Here are links for both of them: E. Ivanhoe St. N. Balboa Circle Each house has it's own pros and cons. Here are some of the main ones...

So, I list some parts on the Buy & Sell section here. And one of the members here commits to buying the MEK billet head light brackets I listed. With that I don't here from him? Nothing, so I send out several PM to him, still no response. :jerk it: So I am going to list some more parts soon...

I'm new to the forum and new to the VMax. I'm currently looking for a used VMax and have located one at what seems to be a good price. It is a 1998 VMax with 46,000 miles on it. Before I go look at it are there things I should check on besides the normal brakes, tires, etc? Is this too high...

I bought a new set of Avon Venom X last May 08 for my Vmax. I love the way the tire handles but they cracked on the side walls like they are dry rotted. I talked to the guys at MotoX on line that I bought them from and they didn't want to warranty them. I finally did some research online and...

Ok, so back in the day my buddy had a V-Max...according to me baddest bike i'd ever seen and heard. With Kerker(sp?) pipes and some other mods it sounded just like my 750 HP big block! (er close for a bike!) Anyway, i've alwayd wanted one, and now the opportunity has presented itself. But...

Hey what can I say, I never really like the first model but this redesigned model is MUCH more my style. Erik has out done himself on this one IMO. It's even signed by Erik. Cheers, Chris http://www.buell.com/en_us/bikes/blast/index.asp#

Good morning everyone. This is my first interaction on this sight. I joined a couple of years ago when I was trying to decide on my second bike. I owed an R6 but my new wife hated riding on the back. so I went out in joined the forum to learn a little more about the Vmax. At the time I...

I am looking for a store in Toronto area (or online Canadian store?) to buy tires at a good price! Buying online from US stores seems not worth it since I will end up paying brokerage fee and GST, PST. Any recommendation?

Hello everyone, First and most important I trust Seam 100% so this thread isn't meant to question his kits or his knowledge. Now to my question, I would like to hear from anyone who has his kit installed in their VMAX, I'd like to know how your VMAX runs and when you installed it did you...

I know it's March now but is it still possible to obtain a new 2009 Vmax anywhere in North Carolina ?

It is very cool to talk about and see what is comming out. I am not sure I am ready for a low 9 sec bike with 200 hp lol I guess I am not as much of a phsyco as some here. It would, be nice to have a max that could carve it up in the mountains a little better. Mine gives me a pretty good rush...

All, I'm in Canada and thinking of buying a 2005 V-Max Anniversary edition. It has 6600km's and the guy wants $11000.00 for it. I looked at the bike and it's in mint condition. Is the bike worth that type of money?? Thanks in advance!

OK men (and gals), I'd like to pose a scenario to you to help me decide on a VMax purchase. A friend of mine has a 99 Vmax for sale. Here's the goods on it: 28,000 Km's 17 inch rear wheel mod- (Radials in great shape) Supertrapp exhaust front fork mod done ISO grips passenger backrest TBoost...

After searching for an exhaust system with a deep rumble and the ability to retain the center stand, I decided on a Marks performance exhaust. I e-mailed mark with some questions on what setup would work with my bike, then I waited. Two weeks latter he got back to me. He said his computer was...

I am thinking of buying one of these and wanted your imput. I live in Virginia where there are a lot of curvy roads and then there is the parkway which is great to ride on, but curvy. I have heard that the V's don't do well on roads like that is this true? I am not going to be tearing the...
