miles

Hey everyone; newbie here, but been riding bikes for many years. I've made the decision to trade my sport bike for a 1st gen V-Max, after wanting one for years. (Like most of you I'd guess.) I've done a lot of reading and research, and feel pretty comfortable with it, but just wanted to get...

who has the max with the most miles on it and how much longer will it last?

Hey, everyone. As you can tell by my post count I haven't participated much here, but I have been reading the posts for quite awhile (since I bought my max over a year ago). Over the past couple months I've been prep'ing for a 17 day road trip to explore mostly the Southwest US, leaving from...

I'm sure it is electrical, most likely the "hot start problem." This thread will be really useful in helping me fix the problem(s): http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=203 Anyway, the wife and I were out about 3.5 miles from the house - still in town - just riding around in another...

Ran into this on Craigslist. Thought someone might be interested. Since it isn't mine, I didn't put on the buy/sell board. Apologies if this is in the wrong place. $6,500

Like many, I've wanted a Vmax since the 1st day I saw one. :baby: I would like my 1st Vmax purchase not to be a pain in my wallet; unless I want it to be. And I know I will. Is there any consensus what so ever from current owners on how many miles are to many miles when purchasing a used Vmax?

I've ridden my 1985 Max (bought new) up to Americade in Lake George NY for many years. I used it as a touring bike till I bought my Roadstar in 2002. Went through all the phases, saddlebags, windshields, even made a hitch and pulled trailer for about 5 years. (Argueably the world's fastest...

I've had my '06 Max for right at 2 months now. I have logged in 1000 miles (maybe 1/2 that on my FZ in the same time). Anyway, the "break-in" period is over. I'm curious how many different approaches to break in a new bike there are here? Here is roughly how my Max was treated: I made it to...
