    AVON CHROME 130/70/18 + 200/55/18 combo feedback

    We sport tour with ours and i run the 200/55 18 out back and may try the 130/70 18 on the front but i run the avon 3dxm in the front and figure id go to the spirit next because this combo handles corners well. Handled the rain well too. I have both front and rear cobra chromes on my guzzi...

    Gen2

    I always liked that video. I ride the max pretty hard. However, i do alot of chilled out cruising to a nice scenic destination just like that

    Departing for the Diavel

    I spent 1400 bucks for a larger tank from germany to get it and have it installed. I would bet its cheaper than switching bikes and the added cost of the diavel

    Departing for the Diavel

    you can doubt what you want and sure there are people we dont', but those guys were not accelerating all the way to their braking points, were not getting on the throttle very early and those two things alone can make up for alot of lean angle. lots. getting on the throttle .1 seconds later in...

    Departing for the Diavel

    Yessir and its a mixed bag but being a bit larger than most i have no problem getting it to turn and i really have grown to love hustling it thru the twisties. 2 weeks ago in colorado we ran down a whole lot of sport bikes in the twisties. Its fun when they look behind and try and pick it up...

    Departing for the Diavel

    i rode the diavel, it's lighter. stock for stock it's slower in a straight line than the vmax. personally, my vmax handles beautifully and on the road i haven't been passed by anything in the twisties. i'm game for a twisty race. for all the vmax's faults, i bought a brand new 2013 in 2015...

    Tires

    Yes, the avon almost completely clears up the speedo error, it is taller and is imho better than the shinko verge. Much much better in anything wet. Had it out in the hill country this weekend in some wet conditions and took it easy but upped the pace a bit with a couple of really nice vmax...

    L3K tanks - back in stock

    Gen 2 weight

    i love mine. get the nash flash and the clutch mod. then it will meet the potential the stock bike has in it. my cousin has a stock one and i did the mods on mine. 2nd gear rollons at 30 mph and it jumps to a 2 bike gap in the first second after ya crack the throttle but is somehow more...

    Handlebar vibrations in Gen II?

    I must have a smooth one. I dont have any probs with vibes but if i sit there with my hands on any bike, any bars, my hands will go numb.....so i got a kaoko throttle lock and problem solved. Ive never had anyone ride mine and feel it had vibes. Its very smooth.

    Motorcyclist test of v-max vs. B-king

    Good to know. Ive always felt the manufacturers just dont get the balance right. Same reason i bought a zx14 when i truly wanted a hyabusa as theyre both plenty fast. Went with the 14r bc its butter smooth and its an inline 4. My ninja 1000 isnt bad as the busa and its an inline 4 but not...
