I'm still trying to sell the M109R (Fuel Injected BTW lol) so it doesn't collect dust and I'll pay off my loan faster!
unk:
So today I'll be working out the details on the purchase. I'll be having to sneak some phone calls while I'm on the floor running 2 Horizontal Mills. It's gonna be tricky! Wish me luck!
Also, I understand the Yamaha saddlebags are real hard to find?! Damn! Anyone got any leads on a set?

Speak for yourself, there are plenty of us who COULD afford one, but just won't pay top dollar when there are plenty of cheaper, faster alternatives aorund for HALF the price! It's all about the VALUE, what you spend vs. what you get. I love the new VMAX, have since day one, I just won't pay stupid money for it. Big difference between CAN'T buy one and WON'T buy one!!!!!
I say buy the one you want new or used and enjoy ..

As with any hobby that you are passionate about, it isn't about value to someone else rather than the value you see in your hobby. I picked up my vmax here on Guam for $500, a 2001 with just under 10,000 miles. It needed about $1000 to get it safe to ride. All I heard was that even with my upgrades I'm still below blue book and could sell it for a profit. For me, I don't really care how much money I put into my max, it is a dream and a passion and will not sell it for any amount of money.
I would really like to own a gen 2 but I'm starting to plan my retirement so it might not be in my near future. However, I say if you want one and want to spend the money, I say go for it. Anyone on this forum will tell you the joy you get from owing the most iconic bike of all time, IMHO. Gen 1 or gen 2, I think the basic idea of the vmax still remains true and I hope one day I can save up enough to buy one.

Work my Vmax brother, you will have time to get acquainted with your new bike. You'll need the. $$$$$ for tires at very least. .
You can't ever resist can you. What an a-hole you are. You have no clue what value is.
Every time someone talks about the price of a Gen 2 you have to flap your gums, repeating the same crap like a broken record. WTF is wrong with you?
Low and behold my V-Max WAS delivered this afternoon to the dealership in Berkeley! It's in the crate, so they'll be assembling it and trickle charging the battery. Very anxious n excited!
Nice!
I remember my ride home from the dealer like it was yesterday!
Don't forget to post of some photos.
Here is another forum with tons of Gen 2 information
http://www.starvmax.com/forum
I can promise you nobody there will question the "value" of your purchase.
Nothing but happy Gen 2 owners over there.
