    Stage 7 opinions

    Thanks Bike has a 4-1 looks like a voodoo pipe, but doesn't have any markings. The V Boost has been eliminated. I guess I'll just have to ride it and see how it feels

    Stage 7 opinions

    Looking at buying Max#3. One I'm considering has stage 7. Not something I'd choose to do myself. My other bikes were stock with Supertrapp slip ons. I've ridden with V Boost unplugged in open position, and didn't notice much difference. With this stage 7, that can't be undone, will there be...

    Yamaha FZ-10

    Let me add my view point too. I'm not a moto journalist, and my job is not effected by advertising dollars. I typically ride an Aprilia RSV1000R, which is a vtwin sportbike. I rode the FZ looking for a more comfortable R1, and it's not. It is completely different. Ultimately my "perfect"...

    Yamaha FZ-10

    I rode one about a week ago. Wasn't impressed. I like the sound of that new cross plane I4, but riding it back to back with an R1, the motor felt very neutered. It's plenty fast. Fairly comfortable. I really like the cruise control, but knowing what the motor could have/should have, felt like...

    Buell re-opens for 2017

    I really like the idea of the EBR and was considering the naked upright bike just weeks before they lost financial backing. It is possibly noteworthy that they are NOT Buel. Harley owns that name, and although they decided to scuttle the company, they refused to sale the name. So now it's EBR...

    Anyone ever do Iron Butt?

    Yes 50cc is coast to coast in 50 hours or less. Part of the trouble is the documentation, not just the ride. That's what makes the certificates matter, or least for me. As for a scooter, there is a biannual scooter gum ball rally. Few of those are 50cc. Most are in the 200-250 range. It takes...

    What can y'all tell me about the V65 Magna

    No they don't They just want you to think that buying that bike gets you that girl. Resale value on that bike wasn't great. Resale value on that girl was even worse.

    What can y'all tell me about the V65 Magna

    I've also owned both The Honda is a Honda. It does everything well, but has no personality. V Max has personally. It has attitude.

    Anybody ever have a cx500?

    My first street bike was a 81 CX500 C. Beginning bike for a lady? I couldn't flat foot mine, and they are quite top heavy. That's only a downside for a new rider with short inseam.

    Gas Mileage???

    2007 with under 10k miles. Not uncommon, but that's an awful lot of sitting around. Runs fine compared to what? How many VMaxs have you ridden? Both of mine where good for 105-115 in the winter and 115-125 in the summer Or as low as 80-85 under real aggressive riding.

    V-Max vs. GSX-R 1000 Trash Talk

    You'd be better off trying to match a GSXR600 in the 1/4. If everything else was equal, aerodynamics alone would give the GSXR the win. I love the Vmax. It's probably my favorite motorcycle. But having also owned modern liter bikes, I can tell you that there is no comparison

    Replacement NON OEM Stators

    Didn't need one on my Vmax, but I've used a Rick's stator every time I've needed to install a new one on a bike. Great quality, usually better than OEM.

    "Opening up" supertrapp open end caps"

    I ran my super traps with no disk and NO end caps for a couple weeks. It was loud. It sounded good. It was quieter than some of the local Harley's running straight drag pipes.
