the 2003 Vmax - Comfortable for long rides? Worth $4500?

[Biker Dash]

Excuse me, but instead of laughing, I think we're all gonna congratulate you on the good score you made. I know several riders in my area with Boulevards, and they all love them.

So you don't have a V-Max. What is important is that you find the motorcycle that makes YOU happy!

Awesome find, btw!

You got a lot of bike (and probably no headaches) for the money. Great choice.

Nothing says you can't have 2 or more bikes one for 2 up and 1 for for just plain fun . Kinda like having a commuter family car and a nice Hot Rod for some street fun and Ice cream runs on friday saturday nites ...

Yep I love having the wing & my Max

That looks like a super nice clean bike. And I agree for what you got there, it will serve your purpose a lot better than a Gen 1 Vmax will if you want to do some traveling.

Congrats

Hey, thanks for all the positive comments everyone. For $3,300 I figured it can't be the wrong choice at this time.
Here's a couple more pictures of it.

Now, will one of you please lead me to a 2009 mint condition Vmax for $5,000? Haha.

Those pictures I mentioned.

Good looking bike. My first bike was a suzuki intruder 800cc. Great motorcycle and very dependable.

 

[Fire-medic]

A good bike for the price, probably v reliable, and maintenance-free (almost). Most of the members have > 1 bike, some even own (horrors!) Harleys! :rofl_200:

 

[Brian2003Max]

Is it a bad thing that I don't know what THUNDER is? I'm assuming it's a "lets all get together and ride" type of thing though. Unless you're expecting me to literally be riding my bike near actual audible thunder, at all times, until I see you?

Brian,
He is referring to the Thunder in the Valley motorcycle Rally in Johnstown, PA:
