Going back to the days of the GS750 being introduced, it was a better handling bike than the KZ750 or the KZ1000, but even when they introduced the GS1000 two-valve which would handle better than the KZ1000, the KZ outsold it easily. Like one of the bike magazine editors recently said (Marc Lindeman), "I found-out I have about 75 hp of talent." Some people can use what a bike has, others just want the cool bike, and that's one of the reasons why we are here, enjoying our early 1980's technology while you carp about cheap-shots taken at your much more-modern 'hamburger-ride.'
Yes, you enjoy the bike, you sold your VMax to ride something-else, but if you're gonna get all 'burdock under the saddle-blanket' on us then you know you can end all-that by finding an old dog of a VMax and by breathing new life into it. Buy an '85, get your name on the registry list, swap stories of sorting thru antediluvian electrical and mechanical problems, and everyone will say, "welcome-back to the fold!"
Until then, you're gonna have to suck it-up and put-up w/all the jokes about your 'hamburger bike' whether you like it or not. What happened in school when the guys found your weak-spot? Endless needling! I think you better grow a thicker-skin as I suspect it's not over, not by a long-shot.
Me, I'm not gonna indulge in such sophomoric scab-picking, and now, it's time for a bike ride (below) See-ya!
