Hi, New member from Sydney Australia. Had a few bikes over the years and chalked up around 350000 km on bikes. Always wanted a VMax 1200 I like the look, and cult culture with nearly all bikes modified to suit the riders style. Purchased in 2014 a black 96 Aussie model after looking fro a good...

I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO THANK those who responded to my query regarding finding stock mufflers for my '85. The issue raised two minor, potential complications -- i.e. black vs. chrome endcaps, and whether the '85 mufflers were less restrictive than newer iterations. With these and other factors...

Kind of a long intro, but you'll see why I'm supporting at jump street. New to the VMax as well. I used to ride a Maxim many years ago, but I couldn't afford a VMax as a young Airman in the late 80's. I remember when the VMax came out, and reading all the reviews in magazines. I've always wanted...

Hi All, I have a Blacked Out V-Max for sale. I've had some medical issues and can't ride anymore. The bike needs an owner that can ride and is ready for many miles. A word of warning, this is fast and powerful bike, 105 lb of torque and ~160 HP. I've added a few pictures, and have a full album...

So, got my 2007 Vmax in 2016 with 26k km on it. Now hitting 50k km in 2023. Runs good but not as good as it used to. The only thing is it takes a bit longer to have the smoothness, which is until fully warmed up. And it takes a bit longer to reach stable idle at 1000 rpms after cold start. After...

Hey guys I am looking for a set of COPs, My bike is a 1998 so my understanding is I don't need to run resisters. If anyone has a set please let me know. Also I would prefer Denso over Mitsubishi. I have a slight stumble when I punch it. It doesn't happen if I am just rolling on the throttle just...

HEY ALL, LOWERED PARTS LIST PRICES I have taken your advice and lowered the prices on the attached list of parts for an 89 VMAX that I am parting out. As a comparison, I have listed the price for the parts according to the average cost on BikeBandit.com and CheapcycleParts.com next to my asking...
