New to the site.

Hello everyone Im new here but not to motorcycling. Ive spent the last 10 years on sportbikes and with the sale of my last one on Friday I am ready to get on a VMax. I know a bit about them, what the average m/c enthusiast knows but now I want to know a lot more.
Anyone know of a centralized place to read about the history of the bikes. Im looking for technical specs, model years with problems/issues, why changes were made...the nitty gritty stuff if you will.
I have read through some posts today and everyone seems to be pretty helpful, knowledgeable and passionate about the Vmax so I hope to learn what you all love/hate/changed with the bikes each of you have.
I plan on taking some extended trips on it along with riding it to work every day if that helps with any feedback.

Hi X,
Here is another site to look at. Almost all UK guys.

There are 10 or 11 Max's for sale on e-bay if you're interested.

Thanks Clint! I appreciate your help! I will check these sites out. I have always loved the Vmax, but I also always loved the VFR...until I owned one.

Jon Cornell of UFO is hosting Ingo's old site. It hasn't been updated recently but neither has the V-max (ducking for cover). There's a ton of info here that still applies.
