Have you driven one yet? Would be fine for it, but you will be stopping for gas a lot every 80 to 100 miles. Unless you get a bigger fuel tank and yes they do make them. You will have to get storage for it.On the other Max forum which is dead now.(bummer) There was a lady in the UK (I think) that had a Max, and had it shipped to the US and toured the US. Her story is on the net somewhere.The Max is such an Awesome bike until you have one and ride it, it's hard to describe just how much fun it is. It puts a smile on your face every time. If your a new rider I wouldn't recommend it for you.But if you search on this forum there is all kinds of great info on them.I prefer 2nd gen over first. But they are both an AWESOME bike. Whats fun is pulling up beside some of the crotch rockets and smoking them. Of course I know that depends on the rider on each bike. Most of them you will not beat them top end. That is just my 2 cents.
