bought

Hi y'all, About a month ago I bought a 1985 V-Max. This is my second I've owned. The last one I sold back in 1997. What a BEAST. I've ridden a number of big bikes in the past including a ZX-11 and GSXR 1000, but I sure love the V-Max. I just hate adding fuel every 85 miles... oh well. I bought...

I'm interested in possibly buying the yamaha windscreen for the 09 Max. Just curious if anyones got one yet and how they like it. Anyone have anypictures of the 09 with it on? Same goes with the hard saddlebags that yamaha offers?

I never realized just how bad azz these things sound with a kereker on them. They should have come stock from the factory that way. It figures.... I put the kerker on on Thurs. and I get 8" of snow on Tues. Oh well.:punk:

Whooo Hoooo. I am excited to add this to my garage!

Just bought a 2005 20th Anniversary with 11,000 KM on it. This is my first ever bike, any thoughts or warnings about the bike? I already know that I need to be careful until I get used to it. However, I'm mature enough to know to respect the machine. How are they with handling, power, etc...

THIS IS A PICTURE I BOUGHT FROM THE JAVITS BIKE SHOW IN NEW YORK 2 WEEKS AGO , THE DETAIL IS UNBELIEVABLE ! THIS GUYS WORK IS INCREDIBLE ! WHEN YOU GUYS GET A CHANCE CHECK OUT HIS WORK ! http://www.pastranaunlimited.com/:punk:

I stopped by a small family owned Yamaha dealer in Bellevue, NE (small town south of Omaha) today to see what they had available. On the floor they had a red 2008 FZ1 with the gold wheels and forks. 0 miles, they don't test ride them until they have a buyer. They only wanted $8400, and I made...

i got mine in 06, last bike i had was a v65 magna, the max scared the shit out of me on the way home from the stealership!

Finally went and picked up a 2004 Honda XR650L thumper with 3000 miles on it from a friend of mine.......:eusa_dance::clapping: it's already set up with a 4 gallon tank (ugly but functional) and an FMF Exhaust. Damn thing is TALL!, I think the seat hieght is around 36" or so.... Kinda...

The guy I bought my vmax from said he just put new tires on it, it had 6500 miles on it. Anyway, he said the tires are "H" rated instead of "V" rated. I think "H" rated tires are rated for 130mph and "V" rated are rated for 150 mph. My bike wobbles at 125mph but I don't think its the tires??? I...

last October i bought my first house. It belonged to my grandmother before me. I'm having severe foundation problems. the whole east side of my foundation is sinking into the ground (its a block foundation) and the wood seal is exposed now. house was built in 1916 but the foundation was never...

just bought a 95 and was out riding yesterday morning. out of nowhere the bike started to make a shrill or a whining noise. sounded like it was coming from under the faux tank. killed the engine, and with the key in the on position the noise persisted. started the bike back up and the noise...

Hi Guys,

My buddy owed me 2500 from another bike purchase so I traded him that and my Maxim X for his. So about 4200 I spent. His always has out perfomed mine, it pulls like a beast and has Kerker pipes. I'm switchin the paint off my red to his and my new tire. Then I need to find the oil leak on my...

I've been lurking for weeks but finally took the plunge and bought an '05 on E-Bay today. Photos look immaculate and it only has 1200 miles on it...hope it's just as nice whan it gets here! I'm thinking first mods will be seat and exhaust. This site has been a wealth of information so far...
