I know, I love it too... When I bought mine, I could have bought another Max for quite a bit less. But I just couldn't talk myself out of this color scheme. The yellow, and blue's are OK. But I just think this really compliments the bikes over-all design.
I just got my V-Max last year, so I'm definitely a noob. All I've done so far is get a fresh pair of tires, and add a couple small aesthetic touches. I'm open to suggestion, I have a 95% stock bike so far.
