Vmax Parts Dragging

[outlaws justice]

Ok, After teaching the total Control ARC this past Saturday in Maryland I took the Vmax out to show the students that a Vmax can turn in and make a corner. Only one pic so far, waiting for the Journalist to send me the ones he took. I got a few parts on the ground, pegs, side stand, center stand etc. so I got a little off the bike. Had to get a knee down to keep from levering the back as I got more aggresive. Here is one pic before I got the knee down. I will add the others as I get them. EVEN a Vmax in stock trim can corner!

Yea, Touching a knee down on a sport bike is one thing, but the first time youo get a knee down on a Vmax, (Especially a stock one) is really an awe inspiring moment!

I love riding it and showing the students on sport bikes that even a non sport bike riden correctly will corner well.

Actually yes, Later in the day I was asked to check out a couple other bikes (SV650 and DRZ400) I happened to drag knee on both without my overpants on and put a hole in my jeans. LOL

That's pretty good when you drag a knee on a DRZ400, they sit pretty high since they are a dual sport bike!

They may sit high, but those things Rail and are more confidence inspiring than any bike I have been on. If you want to drag a knee I suggest trying one with street tires. You do not even realize you are that low. they rail nice.

Not hauling ass this was during a class in a parking lot. (It was after class as I was teaching) we had a writer from a mag in the class so he got a few shots so I could post up here.

I was dragging parts, but careful not to go so far as to lever the bike. Just minor like pegs and stands lightly. I have fun though on the FZ1 or the Vmax.
