    Any word from the August 28th testing that MCN was going to be doing?

    Sadly it was just their take on the San Diego press shindig and not the full test they advertised. They did a follow up in the next weeks issue which was just a Q+A with production engineers.

    Deposit placed - dealer can't tell me anything!

    I put my deposit down and got my voucher/claim number straight away. Still no owners pack/DVD just the flyer/brochure. My delivery is in Jan but no exact date for me yet or any other UK prospective owners I know of.

    MCN Full test on 28th August

    It said full test so I would expect a 1/4 mile run :clapping: A guy at the local bike meet claims he spoke to someone at Mitsui who told him the new Max is a 9.5sec qtr machine. I cant vouch for the accuracy but the same guy knew the UK MRSP a month before Yamaha UK released it so he is either...

    your best price on gen 2 vmax?

    I wish I knew! :ummm: Fuel is over 10dollars a gallon here mainly due to tax. :bang head: Even though the pound is hovering round the 2 dollars to 1 pound mark the rule of thumb is if its 10k in the US its going to be 20k here. :bang head::bang head: The taxes over here are crippling eg 750...

    your best price on gen 2 vmax?

    Rip off Britain is right! Paying over double the US price for my new Max and just under double the Japanese price for my new car [Nissan GTR (Japan 32kGBP vs UK 59kGBP)]. Emigration has never looked more of an option!

    Anyone received their owner info pack yet?

    I got the Yamaha brochure with same cover pic as yours when I paid my deposit but was told owners info pack inc DVD to follow. Do US VMAX orders have the personally chosen engraved plaque? The reason I ask is my buddy in Sweden says he wasn't given that option when he ordered.

    Good news for 09 owners

    According to Ken at Padgetts of Batley (probably the biggest Yamaha dealer here in the UK) the stock swingarm will accept a 9.5 inch rim so hopefully a 280 section will fit if he is correct.
