Guys,really appreciate all the replies.The 250 miles a day is not touring,just daily rides from & back to base with no other purpose than the ride,so stopping every 120miles or so for fuel is no big deal & it gives the old bones a rest.Maybe I should explain how I come to be looking at a V-Max(I agree it dosen't seem like the ideal choice).I like the standard riding position of the V-Max,i don't feel right on Sport bikes or Cruisers with forward controls,plus the passenger riding position(footrests to seat angles)looks right,i've had 2 tourers in recent years an 84'Venture & a 99'Electraglide,but they're too big & heavy,i'm getting old.At present we've got an FXD Superglide(with mid controls),which i'm selling,giving up with Harleys.I've been doing a lot of reading up & it seems like with a few upgrades(what bike dosen't need them?) a V-Max might really suit us.Plus I have always loved the looks of the Max,which always helps.
