Yea,
It is expensive and requires pretty much the whole day to enjoy. I have to drive about an hour each way to the dropzone. With a bike I can run out of the house and still keep the wife happy. I'm selling one of my rigs to help pay for my new max. After 500 jumps I just wanted to do something fun closer to the house and kids. I think the max will fill my "need for speed"

Hey Everyone,
Thought I would say hi. I stumbled across this forum when I was searching for rim and swingarm alterations on the net. Browsed throught some categories here, and thought it was well worthy of joining up - Great site!
I'm from eastern Canada, and have a 97 Vmax that I've been slowly mutating into a different form. I'm on the tech lists and all that, but I prefer forum based info (with pics!)
Have a great one! :cheers:

Hey Buster, Thanks for the welcome, and I'm in New Brunswick.
Greetings
My Max isn't in my garage yet :bang head:.
Here's the history/story.
I've been riding for 40 yrs so it's a long story, here's the short version.
1st motorcycle Kawasaki H1 not sure what year it was pretty tired when I got it.
Favorite motorcycle 1972 Kawasaki H2 here's a link, This might be it (sure) right down to the expansion chambers.
http://www.cycletrader.com/find/listing/1972-KAWASAKI-H-2-89923566 I really wish I still had it!
Least favorite Suzuki GT750 (Water Buffalo)
Most recent 1991 Honda VFR sold last summer
and many in between including a XS1100
Now 2001 Aprilia RSV Mille R
This is the long part. The mille R is my son's but he hurt his back (he may have to have surgery for a bulging disc) picking up his 2 year old son. So he can't ride!! And I have to go to a chiropractor every time I ride it. So I bought it from him and am trading it in on the max

Hey there,
This is my first post to these forums!! I've been a proud owner of a 1990 Max for 9 years now and couldn't be happier with this bike!! Here's my story: I was the not so proud owner of a 1980 Suzuki GS850 cruiser and was in the market for something different. I was looking for a Honda V65 Magna but wasn't having much luck. Then one day a friend of mine said, "Hey, my buddie's dad is selling his Vmax." I decided to see what all the fuss was about and looked up some images on the web, I thought it wasn't a bad looking bike so I decided to give this guy a call. We met the next day and he opened up the door to his little shed and there it was - a wonderful masterpiece!! We arranged to meet again a couple days later so he could get it out, cleaned up and ready for a run. Next we met, he fired it up and it sounded awesome (he installed SuperTrapp exhaust). He gave me a brief warning that this bike has plenty of balls and to hang on around 6,000 RPM's. I took it out for a spin (literally), came back and handed him cash right there, and the rest is history!! I didn't know a bike like this existed!! So anyway, just wanted to say hi!!

Hey Everyone.
I'm a Noob to the Vmax scene. I bought a 85 last night. My last 3 bikes were Harleys and I planned on buying another one as soon as it was financially feasible but I ran across a deal that I couldn't pass up.
Mods on the bike are Walker 4into2 "Holeshot" exhaust, a K&N drop in filter, Stake one jet kit, and Progressive 11.5" rear shocks.
I've been reading up on how much lowering the front will help handling and may have to do that soon.
Any comments on the bike/mods are welcomed.
I apologize now for all of the stupid questions that I will ask in the future.
