I'm 65. Been riding since 1958 at age 14 (first bike a 1948 Harley Hummer). Bought first Max in 1998 (95) and second in 2007 (97). Have owned 30 bikes during those years. Currently own a 1968 Triumph TR6R 650 and a 1975 Honda CB550F Super Sport in addition to my Max.

I bought my first VMAX at 29 and just bought my 7th at 52, 53 in a week

 

[gunrunner]

Got mine for my 40th , i wanted something that would fit my style and personality so there was only 1 - The Legend . unk:

 

[SCOJO]

I've had several bikes over the years (started dirt riding at 13 and street at 16). I picked up my Max 3 years ago at the age of 39. I had wanted one since 85 and finally had a good enough job to afford a toy. Told the wife I wouldn't buy anymore bikes till I found a Max. Haven't been disappointed and wouldn't trade for anything!

43 now. Bought Maxine last year after wanting a Max ever since I rode one in France in '86 or '87. Been riding since I stole my sister's moped at 12 (wasn't legal until 14 lol), and went through many bikes, mostly enduros and big trailies. Maxine's only my 3rd street bike, but I'm having a hard time imagining riding any other, apart from a Gen2 maybe..

 

[02Moneypit]

Been riding for 21 years now,got the taste of the v-4 on my first bike v-45 magna and then the v-65 magna,then some sport bikes and others in between.Bought the 02 in 2007 and the 09 in june 08 and took delivery of the 09 in dec 17 08,would not dream of parting with either,but have my eye on a benilli tnt cafe racer from the dealer i bought the 09 from,its a new 2007 that was not sold.

 

[richwrench]

45 here. Bought my 'MAX 2 Christmas's ago. Started in the late 70's with a Kawasaki 90 trailbike & I've been upgrading ever since. First a 90cc, then a 360, then a 700 & now my 1200. I know there's bigger & faster, but I can't think of anything that would be an upgrade from my VMAX so I'm keeping it !!!

Almost 61. You never want to be 61 until you're 60. Still retain the boy-brain.
Proudly.

Started riding about five years ago. Learned on a 650 VStar. Great bike to break in on. Got my '07 Max coming up on two years ago. I'll ride it until I have to swap it out for a Rascal mobility scooter. Many years from now, I hope.

 

[vince95]

Im 44 and this is my third bike. Took the MSF course and started riding in 2005. My first bike was a Suzuki Savage 650 for about a year. Second bike was a Yamaha Virago 1100 which was a great bike. I had it two years. Always liked the look of the Vmax and saw an ad on craiglist and the rest was history. Have had my Vmax for about a year and have no plans of changing bikes.

[Sheldontoxicman]

I am 39 years old. My first bike? was more like a scooter it was an elite 125 in 85. Then I sold that and bought a XL600R. I wrecked that bike in 86. then got a 450 rebel. I sold that for a pick up in 87. I haven't riden until July of last year when I bought Mr. Max. Its true what they say."Once riding is in your blood, You won't stop."unk:

[cambo]

I'm 30 and have had the Max for 2 yrs. Before that was a few Suzukis and Hondas, lots of Yamaha 650s and a 76 Husky 360. Always wanted a VMax though, even before I started riding.

 

[RazoR333]

It was lust at first site in 85,..before I even rode bikes.
Liked my muscle cars. Apprenticeship, family and work took precedence.
Found a 86 Fazer at the local Honda stealership 5yrs ago needing some TLC at a good price ,..thought "I'll never have the Max , this will do ..love the bike .
2yrs ago , through some friends that know I lust deeply for the Max.
New of a guy that was selling his , and set me up to buy it.
Now thats friends. Content to the MAX at 42.
