10 sold as of thursday in NZ. The going price for them here is between $30-35K NZD which is $22,472 - $26,218. Just to give y'all some perspective. Way the hell out of my price range. Luckily one of the 10 sold here is at the local shop so I will at least get to see one in the flesh by...

Perhaps, but neither of those have the same kind of legend as the Vmax. Maybe I should have just said it was simple common sense to put the Y-CCI and Y-CCT into this bike.

Try being me mate. I can't even afford to fix my current Max and I have to pay a couple thousand MORE for it than you.

August next year most likely (considering the release delay or the 1125R buell and a few other bikes I've kept track of) and you're looking at somewhere between $26 and $30k NZD. And the americans want to bitch about the price they have to pay...

Lol I ask for opinions on the bike and I get bitching about the price. Come on guys, can you really put a price on passion? You know if you take this beast for a ride it will stir that deep down animalistic nature within you that will only make you want to grab a bigger handfull and arrive...

OMG! Check out the ignition switch above the dash display on the tank! Also does anyone else notice the steering damper on the zoom view of the cockpit? Just below the bar clamp.

I would shorten the swing arm if I can. It sticks out a bit far back there. Yea yea yea stability and easier to handle the power when full launching blah blah, BUT with a shorter swing arm it would not only look a bit better but handle better as well and down here in NZ where you would be hard...

In fact the more I read about it on Yamaha's micro site, I feel like bikes like the R1 and R6 and even the MT-01 were mere practice runs to prove the technology for this ike.

Haven't been on in a while but the announcement of the 2009 Vmax release has sparked my need for that V4 growl once again. 1675cc V4 New tech straight from their superbike range Fully adjustable suspension(FINALLY!! IT DOES CORNER!) updated brakes Large easy to view tach with shift light...

Mate if I could afford a new engine for this things I wouldn't have a problem. Trying to fix and sell it to get money up to buy a new bike.

It kept dieing on me on the day, thought it was the bat getting low so was just push starting it till it wouldn't start anymore. After letting it sit for a bit and watching the rest of the drags I got it started but was making a small tapping sound. Rode it for about 30 mins till the tapping...

Great so I've got a really big expensive paperweight out in the garage. Don't know what I'm doing enough to fix that kind of mess and don't have the money to get a shop to fix it.

Not really adjusting the valves but me and my mates reckon the reason it's making that lousy tapping sound and has no power is cause one of the shims has busted and fallen out knocking things out of alignment. To me the simplest way to do it would be with the motor in the bike. I guess...

Is it possible to get at these without dropping the motor out of the bike? And if not, how complicated is that? I have the full on shop service manual which shows most of the steps but I'm wondering if I have to worry about all the electrics and shit, or if I can just pop the valve cover off...

Or maybe something like this?

Dude what part of NZ are you in? All bikes that are sold in Japan are limited in some way. Sucks for them.

Ah, I see you guys have already come across Need-6. Here's another link for you though. http://www.v-max.us/home.htm

You mean to tell me there is another colour other than black?

Ah now I understand what you were on about Buster. Look through the sub album labeled, Virago 1100 project and the subsequent sub albums within that one.
