    Hi all. Looking to buy. Need some advice

    Thanks. The used market here TANKED a few years back. our govt insurance rates skyrocketed so bikes dropped in value big time. Works out good for a buyer, not so great for a seller. There are a LOT on the market. The only issue is that the Vmax has held some value, but others have...

    Jeff in Sk, Canada here. 36 yr old male. 10+ years experience riding, but Im NOT a wrencher. My old man has been my mechanic for years, so forgive the lack of savvy! Anyhow, currently riding a 76 CB750 after selling off a Z1000 years ago. Lost my love for biking , but now I am finding I...

    Pulled the trigger.. '07 Vmax coming my way!

    Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll go with a Spitfire! Im not sure which one to go for. I wanna maintain a good look, but I also live in Saskatchewan Canada. LOTS of bugs, LOTS of Wind, Lots of dust/flying debris/rocks!! Thats why I hate my Z1000 on the highway, it's like a full frontal...

    Hi All, New member, Wanting to get a V-max, q's!

    Hi All, New member, Wanting to get a V-max, q's!

    Guys, I forgot to mention the 2005 Vmax has 8500 km/h, but it is also the anniversary edition (not sure if it matters, i actually prefer the plain black model) Mileage kinda sucks, but truthfully, it's something anybody with a powerful bike has to live with. My Z1000 has a somewhat larger...
