1998 vmax replaced with 07.
Another VMax , my 1998 Silver and Black, met with a little old lady making an illegal left hand turn and looking the other way, and panicking and stepping on the gas instead of the brake, the result was me leaping off to save my foot and ended up with my bike landing on top of my legs. Thank god i had engine guards on, they saved my legs from being crushed. Like allot you guys out there, i spent every winter working on that bike, it was a thing of beauty and pride. It had over $7000.00 in damage, bent frame, wish I had pictures. One side looked like new the other...trashed! Tried to buy it back but they wanted too much
Out of sheer curiosity, I went online to look at how much it would cost me to buy another, I checked our local listings in the Okanagan area and low and behold, there was an 07 with 7000km on it sitting 10 minutes away. He was the first owner, bought the bike out of Burnaby, had every paper including the 1st oil change. He was asking $5900.00 for it and I got it for $5500.00, a very very good deal.
It is bone stock ...so here I go again starting all the mods I had done on the old one I'll be looking for some crash bars, lowering the bike so i was looking at the new progressive 440 11" ( cause I'm a short a*s ) drag bars, frame strengthening plates ect, ect ect. If anyone can point me in the right direction for some well priced parts that would be appreciated. Cheers!!
