My '09

[CarlM]

Picked up a pre-owned '09 today. 950 miles, windshield, backrest (if that's what you want to call it), tail pack, luggage rack and cover. I got one heck of a deal.

Very happy with the performance and handling. I had a gen. 1 a few years ago and that was a great bike, but this bike is incredible. I can't wait to do some serious riding.

Some pics of my '96 custom. Nearly the saddest day of my life when I sold it. Pales only to the day the guy I sold it to wrecked it. He was o.k. but the bike, well....

The wife and I both ride so...

The Magna and the Ducati 999 are both for sale. I had wanted to sell them before buying another bike but the deal on the Vmax was too sweet to pass up.

Two Brothers Racing. I think they were C2's?

I saw a used one at a dealer here in Dallas over the weekend. 288 miles on the odo, and the guy said he'd take $15,800 for it. I wish one of you would buy the damn thing and get it off the market. :eat brains:

The Yamaha dealer in Panama City, FL still has 2 on the showroom floor
850-769-3423. One the bought for themselves and the other for a customer that backed out. I know they will take $16,000 for the customer ordered one.
