Well not really, but if I had a disposable income I'd buy it! Who here is going to buy the new V-Max? At only $17,990, we can all afford to buy one and share right?
I sat on one at Thunder in the valley last weekend (it's one of two in the country right now) and let me tell you, if I had ome extra cash, I'd buy one right now. There will be a max of 2500 built this year and you have to put a $1,000 deposit down by October to get one built for you. It has close to 200 hp and I got a chub sitting on it

That's why we try to recommend folks doing a little search first, more than likely it's been talked about before!

Tkat brace, new coils/wires/plugs, refurbed carbs (thanks 81 xsproject), recon'd top end, windshield (thanks dpotter58), resprayed tank and panels, 4-1 exhaust, sweet xs pod filters, in line fuel filters, progressive springs, thick hand grips, jumped headlight relay.
Honestly, I have looked through different threads on here dating back 60 days over the past few weeks. I must have missed it. I like the power but the looks are rather different. I'll have to wait and get a used one in 30 years and restore it!

But I didn't miss the one with the babes and bikes, all 23 pages if I remember right!
I saw a timeline in photos of the V-Max from 1985-2008 and I do believe the earlier models have a cleaner line to them.I particularly like the wheels/rims on the '85 and '86..after taht they went to what looks like a more solid rim and isnt as nice in my mind's eye...Still this has got to be the meanest badboy boulevard bike out there.
I like the bike but if I had money laying around the house and wanted one, I'd have to have Yamaha put some different exhaust pipes. I don't care for those HUGE things on there now.
Not a problem though, no bags of cash laying around here.
