Sean Lilredrooster's vmax drive is a little different than most of the rest of us. He likes the look and doesn't mind being a few bike lengths or so behind a stock vmax. I have a question for you Lilredrooster. If you were buying a full system new, would you still put your money on the cobra's?
G`day again VMaxximum,
Very good post, enjoyed reading it and agree with your comments....
I have replied to your question on buying an exhaust on a previous post, just wanted to reply to the broader comments that you make in your post.
The VMax is an old school, old fashioned muscle/cruiser with unique hot-rod/retro styling, in 1984 it was also right up there as a competitive high performance bike, today not any more.....
The VMax is one of the most, enduring, endearing and customized motorcycles ever built. As VMax enthusiasts, we are very fortunate to be able to access an almost limitless supply of customized parts worldwide to be able to transform our bikes into something that more suits our own personal needs and goals.....
I have both owned and enjoyed riding and wrenching on my Vmax for many years, my VMax meets my own personal needs and goals and I am very happy with it, it meets my own personal approval and that is all that matters.
Like the vast majority of VMax and muscle/cruiser owners, my VMax is used primarily for street/road use, the vast majority of the time when riding I am not riding right on the edge, scraping my knees on the corners or constantly pegging the rev-counter to the redline, it was not built for that, it is a street-cruiser, not a circuit/road-racer, the power it makes is more than enough to meet my personal needs...... As is commonly the case, it is often not the bike that makes the difference it is the rider.....
If I wanted a sports-bike, super-sports-bike, race-bike, drag-bike, road-racer, canyon-carver, dirt-bike, super-bike, performance-bike, or any other kind of bike I would buy one or build one, I wanted an old school muscle/cruiser and I got one of the finest, I choose the VMax, I also choose the Cobras, very happy with my choices so far......
For those out there that do not like my choices..... Tuff..... Get over it.....
