Well, I'm 54 and riding VMAx since I was 27, so, until now half of my life was riding a VMAX, before the VMAx I had Kawasaki EN500

49 here.

First bike was a Bultaco Matador 250. Have owned 3 Vmax's a 1990, a 2001 and my current 2009.

I have a Matador sitting in the back inherited when my uncle passed away. I need to get it out and fix it.

66 today, 1 September. Bought a 92 Max 1200 3 months ago. I'm a shorty so getting things setup. Fwd controls coming. LED lighting/ indicators, digital speedo, paint job. Also have a Vstar 1100 with much lower centre of gravity. Used to own Ducati GT750 in the 70s. sold it for 1200, they're now worth upwards of 30 grand (Australian). Sheesh, if only we knew.

My first bike is a 2003 max which I brought in 04. It was a steep learning curve but it made love this bike even more than I did in high school. I'm turning 51 on Halloween

36, Bought my Gen 2 VMAX 1700 this year. 13 years and about 350K miles of riding under my belt. I wanted a gen 2 VMAX when I first laid eyes on one in person at a bike show in 2009. Could barely afford rent no less a VMAX at that time. Bought my Gen 2 in cash this summer. What an awesome feeling. It's one of 3 bikes in my stable.

I’m 59 and bought Trigger 7 years ago. It was purely an impulse buy, It was love at first site for both of us. Could never part with it, best bike ever over 45 years of riding. A beast in beasts clothing is how I would describe the Gen 1 VMAX.
