Ok: I'm in !

Hey guys... I finally decided to buy the Vmax after pondering the Diavel and the B-King. I must say it's a beautiful bike. Took it home yesterday, but of course I need to break it in before I can really find out what she's made of...

Nice to find a great forum where I can get lots of info and support.

Awesome! I'm on the fence myself... not with other brands but with just spending the money.

I picked up a 06 last week and had a 2000 back in 2000 but I need to look at the new one in person and study it a little more.

My dealer has one coming in Nov sometime so I will start thinking hard then.

Could I ask what you paid for it?

Enjoy and be safe,
David.

Welcome Ricko! Glad to hear of your recent gen2 score! Post pics of it when you can....

 

[one2dmax]

It's broken in already. Go ride it!

 

[Ricko101]

Thanks guys...

Longnap: Paid 19.5 OTD, and a very generous offer for my trade ('08 GSXR1000).

Being the end of the year, I guess they are dealing, if they still have them...

Now it's time to get some accessories...

I love that Boulevard windscreen!

Rear fender eliminator: I'm looking at taking the rear fender extension out, put the plate somewhere other than the very back, and not above the tire... I looked at the suggestions on this forum, and the web, but I still can't find what I want.

Turn signals... They gotta go, or at least put some nice clear LED in their place.

Went for a nice ride today... 80 miles. Not bad at all. I'm amazed how nimble this bike is. I leaned more than I expected. Being used to the Gixxer, it was hard not to.

Really awesome bike !!! unk:

Wow, what a small world. I used to live in gopher canyon/Old Castle road, right above the golf course, north of the Lorence Welk resort !!!

Let's get together soon!

I'm going for a ride to Julian tomorrow. Taking the 76 all the way ! I may go to Palomar on the way back as well.

 

[VMike]

Really is a small world and we will have to meet up one day. V Maxes are a rare breed around my area.Matter of fact I've only seen a couple of Gen 1's and no Gen II's after owning mine for a year now. Hope you get a nice day for riding tomorrow and be safe on that rocket. Someone described the Gen II as being a loaded gun waiting for the trigger to be pulled. I'm at work at the Encina Power Station in Carlsbad keeping the lights on so gotta go.lol!
