Love the Vmax but have to add the FZ1 to the list it is much faster. It is pretty modified also..seems the mod monkey doesn't stay with the Vmax when you sell it..lol.

Only bike faster than both my 85's vmaxs is my 09' vmax nothing else matters to me .. been that way since driving my first one home early spring of 86' .

Way back in '93 or '94 (see? It was so long ago that I can't remember!), I had a Suzuki GSX1100G......not a popular bike but I liked it.....tons of torque and it had SOME character, not a lot, but some. As I remember I actually chose it over the VMAX that I test rode because I thought the MAX was a little much....and it cost more than the 'Zuki.......I bet the MAX was both quicker and faster but I enjoyed the ride of the 'Zuki and can remember riding all day and not getting sore or tired on the thing.....unlike the terrible seat on the MAX.

Flash forward to last year when I found what is now my 2001 VMAX and, like many others, I enjoy the combination of torque and character that the bike has. I actually went looking for one of the GSX1100Gs and there was only one that I could find for sale a long ways from where I live. Just goes to show that the MAX endured while the 'Zuki died a quiet death.

Can't say that I loved the handling of the MAX last season, but am hoping that the change-over to radial tires, new progressive front fork springs and new MAXGASSER seat all make significant improvements.

I've never been a top end speed freak but I love acceleration.....so the MAX is perfect. NH is not a place where top end gets much use!!!

Sure it is, you just need something that accelerates faster!

I always wanted a Blackbird. But never got one due to lack of aftermarket support.

Lots of aftermarket BB vendors across the pond , as they race , cruise and tour heavily with the ones that are left.

My old 2005 Ninja ZX10R was a little quicker lol....

ZX9R...ZX11, and my Concours14...stock vs stock. The max is still here and a couple of those are not...Its a different kind of fast and fun as most all of you guys already know.
