I like all you guys but coming to a forum that's primarily gen 1 Vmax's with modern sport bikes and talking smack is no real accomplishment. I'm not hating on anyone but it's kind of ridiculous.

That Gen 2 & that ZX 14 are both modified & as far as Lee racing my old gen 1 that's definitely no contest. Lee is Small and one hell of a Rider I think there are very few if any on this forum that can touch Lee. Hell even old Ricky Gadson came out to watch him & talk with him one night.Here is a ZX14 beating up on a modified Gen 2 Vmax.......

Actually the nature of this post was alright because it was just Vmax guys giving other Vmax guys shit lol There's really not much comparing a Gen 1 to a Gen 2 either, 1200cc's to 1700cc's and modern engine management systems although the Gen 2 is heavier by a decent stretch. I'm actually of the same opinion as Mike in that the Gen 2's are just way too expensive, not much comparing when I know a decent Gen 1 can be had for $3000 (what I paid for mine) and you can still have a hell of alot of fun. I just meant at other times there has been a fair amount of smack talk (usually good natured ribbing) about the newer sport bikes you guys have vs us with the early 80's technology bikes. I can definitely understand you guys giving some gen 2 owners shit because that is a more honest comparison and a select few Gen 2 owners can be quite condescending at times around here. All in good fun guys, just keep the comparisons honest

Its the same thing when they say that a their Gen 1 stock Vmax with pipes laid waste to a modern day litre bike LOL. We all like to tell tales or stretch it out some.
That is an excellent point I've personally never said anything like that but I know what you mean, I'm just saying everyone needs to take things as they are and believe me I run around with guys that have mid 8 second turbo busa's and mid to low 9 second naturally aspirated 14's so I have no delusions about how fast my bike is or is ever gonna be. Kyle raised a hell of a good point too, if you were to put Lee on say my bike against a guy who doesn't know how to ride a Gen 2 then Lee would spank him, hell I've spanked Busa's at the track before but I'm smart enough to know that's not the norm lol

Yeah Lee is about 145 suited up if I remember right. I almost ask him to ride my bike before I tore it apart just to see what he could do.LOL I wondered how long it would take for you to see that post. :biglaugh: And I wondered if anyone would catch the name LOL.
Lee is very fast and very light weight. He probably only weighs a few pounds more than Jay?
I wish I could have hooked up with some of you guys at Bradenton when I was down there. Maybe next time.
