    You see this time and again... some guy pours way too much money into a vehicle, then somehow expects to recover all or some of it when selling.

    If he cut his price in half, he might have a shot...

      What is "race paint" dint know there was special paint for that.....

      Why are there 48 green leds on a yellow and black bike.....

      Hope the person that bits it is the same size as him so he can use the gear....

      Why would he downgrade to a Harley after investing that much in that bike....

        V-max's are rad, though. But I would think that with 168 hp, he should be able to do better than 10s. That power is pushing modern superbike numbers. Maybe it is heavy?

        Anyway, looks pretty cool.
        Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

        Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. Thompson

          Vmax

          I almost bought a 2005 aniversary special vmax with 6000 miles for $6100. I should have because I could of turned it around and made a pretty good profit! I bought the RoadStar Warrior instead!
