My dream bike has always been the Vmax. As far as I can remember, I was reading every article I could find about the all mighty king of the road. When I turned 23 years old, the occasion of buying a 1997 Vmax with 20,000 km (12,500 miles) came up and I immediately seized it. After 2 years of joy, some life situation forced me to sell. Luckily, one of my uncle was very interested in acquiring the beast and it was gone.
I always regretted selling this bike, but I had no choice. Since then, years have passed and life happened. I grew up, got married, got a house, got one kid, then another, then two more
22 years later by a morning of June, my uncle calls and says to me:
- I am getting old, I did what I had to do with the Vmax and I am giving it back to you. It has now 142,000 km (88,750 miles) but it still runs great.
Wow! My Vmax is back, just like me it grew old, but can still move pretty good.
My name is Olivier, I live in Canada close to Montreal and this is my 1997 VMax:
