Hi,
I just joined yesterday....I had been looking for a good place to talk VMAX, and I guess I found it!! A little background on myself: I started riding street bikes 22 years ago on a Kawasaki KZ400, Wanted a max in 99, but the local yamaha shop didn't seem interested in selling me one, so I ended up down the road at the local honda shop where I bought a 99 CBR600F4 crotch rocket. The wife and I enjoyed long distance rides, but she would always complain about being "bent over" on the back of the F4. After a long distance ride to Marysville Ohio, the wife got off the back and vowed to NEVER get back on it.....I explained that if I got rid of the rocket, the only other bike I would own was Mr. Max....a few calls later, and I was the proud owner of a 2006! Needless to say it has been great for both of us---the comfort of a cruiser, and the performance of a sport bike. We have 2 children and live in Amherst, Ohio. Thanks for the warm welcome, and all the Tech. tips!!
