How much money have you spent on your VMax?

[eggohead]

90/ ebay for like $3200, look like I have put about $1600 in it this year with new rubber, exhaust, seat and some other small stuff...

Eh....don't do much for me. Besides, they are pricey. Gotta be careful, don't want to turn this thing into a money pit........LOL. :biglaugh:

'99

Bought in "04 for $5200-Bone stock at the time.

Somewhere between $25,000-$30,000 at this point counting purchase.
Big chunk of that went in the motor.



It's ride able....If you have the balls:biglaugh:

I'm too scared to add it up.
Nz$
Bought for $2200.00 as a mess.
Probably close to 12k now, and I want a busa front end and need a starter clutch.

 

[eggohead]

I just did my starter clutch last month. Never knew it was that easy to do. If you have an electric impact and puller that is. Changed out my starter for a 4 brush, it's like a totally different bike. It starts right away and no missing / spinning sound...

About $20k +

wait 'til jim (toxic owner) chimes in.

 

[jfeagins]

After buying this bike new more than 25, nearly 30, years ago, I suspect I have topped the $5000.00 mark by now. (not including tires) lol

LOL....remember, a very sharp individual told you that the Vmax is a cruel mistress, and wants your money.

I paid $5295.00 for the bike when I bought it in 1985.

1 clutch, 1 stator, 2 voltage regulators, 4 or 5 sets brake pads, a set of used rotors, Corbin seat - since reupholstered, a steering head bearing set, front wheel bearings,a few air cleaner elements, and a handful of light bulbs.

Lots of oil, filters and tires.

Drag bars, COPS conversion, a bit of pinstriping, and LED signals and tail light.

Cost for all this stuff (and other things I can't think of right now): Who knows? Whatever I spent to ride this machine for the last 29 years was the best money I ever spent in my life!
