Hi Folks, I have just joined the group and am looking forward to chatting about all things VMax. My hobby is doing up old motorcycles and have just bought this 1985 VMax with VBoost. It is unregistered, had rats living in it when I bought it and hasn’t been started for about 15 years...

For anyone who's interested, I've been restoring a VMax for nearly the past 2 years. No real mods done to it other than a color change. It's going to be all black, except for the engine and fake air scoops, in order to emphasize the engine, which at the end of the day, is what the VMax is all...
