That's where the term ' euro-trash ' comes from...:confused2:

Riddle me this . If he gets it , what does that have to do with yours ? :ummm:

 

[SpecOps13]

Mars is too close....:rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200:

15 years and 1100 miles. What a waste!

LOFL!!!!!!!!!!!! Mine is an '85, and has only 1100 kilometers on it!!! Had 7200 km when I got it last August! Quite possibly a quarter mile at a time though

He says it would be a good investment. Perhaps in 50 years or so you may break even (so long as you don't ride it)

What's the problem with forward controls on a Vmax? I have them and would never go back and I'm sure I'm not alone saying that.

 

[one2dmax]

For very aggressive riding they are very awkward. Ever try to actually drag race one and get your feet up in time for the 1-2 shift. All at the same time you're trying to keep the front end down by laying on the tank cover.

There is a reason most sport bikes don't have them. You flat just don't have the control you could have with a more rearward position for your feet and forward position for your upper torso.

+1 , 4 sure , much more comfortable , especially after the drag racing 1-2 shift , LOL . Seriously , I don't really drag race the forward controls bike , or the stock footrest located one either . I enjoy letting 'em eat in second , third & fourth. Roll ons in second tend to keep the front wheel down and rubber on the rear tire longer.

Yea, I will say it is a bitch when your racing but at least with my smaller size and quick reflexes I still can do it but I definetly see what your saying Sean but I'm really not gonna risk my transfer case with burnouts and hole shots anyway but I am pretty aggressive when I ride, just not gonna pretend this this is a sportbike either. I ride by myself alot (which kinda sucks) but I enjoy just hotrodding around and getting into the Pa winding hills and once I got used to the forward controls, they feel more comfortable even when I'm riding hard. But I can see (especially bigger guys) that forward controls would be hard to throw your feet onto when starting out fast. Ed

You must be strictly a solo rider. Don't ever ride 2-up without a sissy bar. First time you hit 2nd gear, your passenger will be sitting on the pavement swearing at you. :rofl_200on't ask how I know . . .

Which is why I DO have the sissy bar on my Max... I might go for a shorter one in the near future though. Hell, twice on a Shadow, I have had my passenger almost come off. Now, multiply the power x4, and I can see all the reason in the world for having one of them.

 

[dwarf717]

If I do ever ride with a passenger, it will be woman. I will tell her to hold onto my dick! That way if she does start sliding, I'll make sure to slow down real quick
