1st ride

[usmc-vmax]

Just got back from my first ride on my "new" 2004 up and down the coast of Japan. Was gone for about 6 hours with stopping in there of course. Rode with all Harleys except for the max of course. Had a great time and I am soooo glad that I bought this 2004 while I'm here.

Shouldn't cost me anything. I should be able to put both of them in my household goods shipment, as long as I don't go over my max weight.

Did you get a "US" version of the VMAX or the Japanese version ? I heard the Japanese bikes don't have v-boost. Either way, congrads !

It's actually a Canadian model, so it is fully compatible with the U.S. standards and can be brought back with ease. And yes the Japanese bikes only have about 90-100 hp and no vboost. I wouldn't buy one even if that was the only option.:bang head:

Actually, only the newer Canadian models can be brought back. Older versions take an act of congress (a **** ton of paperwork) to get across. I can always sell you the needed parts to make it full power!

What are you talking about Sean????? I got a letter from Yamaha saying that it is U.S. compliant. How new are you talking? Mine is a 2004.:ummm:

Yours is plenty new enough. Sometime in the early 90's they made the coverage available.

Sounds like a nice ride "up and down the coast of Japan". Although, I suspect there's quite a bit of traffic to contend with. Enjoy the new ride!

Congrats on the ride man. I bet theres some GREAT scenery in Japan. Specially coastal. Thanks for your service man.
