I have been riding bikes since I was about 9 years old (turned 45 in July). My first street bike I pulled from the woods and got it running when I was 14 years old. It was a 1974 CB360 that had sat for probably 10 years. I rode the snot out of that thing around the neighborhood and from that point on knew I wanted street bikes.
I've been through many bikes, Rebel 250, Suzuki Marauder, Yamaha FZ1 (3 of em), KZ1000s, Kawasaki H2 750, as of late many Harley Davidsons (current ride is a Road Glide Ultra) and countless other bikes. The VMax is the one bike I always wanted but never bought. It never fit the bill for what I was building, what I was needing or just couldn't afford it..then Wednesday I looked on CL just to see what was out there and a 2009 with 4k miles on it showed up. Next thing you know we had a deal and I picked it up this morning.
One of my FZ1s was worked over pretty good and was fast, but from a red light I do not believe would hold a candle to the VMax...but that is comparing a bike I have not been on in over 12 years.
The wife is learning to ride her own bike, a Harley Iron 883 so the VMax will be used when either I am riding alone or when we are riding to dinner on separate bikes. For trips and such the RGU will still be the go to couch.
AND, I already got my first kill....a newish Mustang GT figured he would see what the bike was made of...it was a walk in the park to run away from him. His personalized tag say "See Yah"......HAH
