2006 Yamaha VMax

[Sensei]

hahahah..

who really cares??
i think ANY V-MAX looks hot.....

Thought you may seen as you own one of the slowest bikes on the Planet

We can do black.....

now THAT i like..bet it still handles like a brick though. a Vmax was my first bike our of the service (1987.. brand new) chassis flexed like a handsaw under power, front end felt heavy under the best of conditions, rear suspension was too soft for the torque and had the old "shaft effect" accellerating out of a turn (you old max-ers know what that was like..)

also had the V-Boost though.. felt kinda like a Holly 780 double pump on a BB Ford when it came on.. manic

i ended up swapping the rear shocks with a set of billet steel bars and mated them to a set of gusseted 6 foot wheelie bars (legal in the States in the 80's and 90's.. not sure about now..) 10.5 second quarter mile out of the box, 10.20 with a few tweeks(V&H full kit, 5 degree advance,HOT coils and 9mm wires, rejet.. etc) and fastest ET was a 10 flat on slicks and Turbo Blue race gas.. wish we had some of the technology we have now in the aftermarket.. would have made a huge difference in ET's

Thursday at th local dragstrip was Test N Tune night, fridays were Match Racing nights ( run what you brung..)(Saturdays were NHRA sanctiond events...) used to trailer the Mustang down and tie the 'Max down in the bed of the truck and race all night ( Truck did a 22.7 quarter mile one night..)

legendary bikes man..

[What?]

I think the first one is grouse - best looking street fighter yet.
The MT01, however, looks like a Tonka toy.

Congats Yamaha for 20 years of V-Max production. Must be doing something right ah?

its all about odds,
and two out of three, i can win, zx10, zx12 and the bus included.
and the third is just a hoot.
Have you raced a vmax on NOS lately?

Don't like the radiator/oil cooler thing. Looks like it'd reak off first big bump in the road or rough landing wheelie.


But keen as for the 800 more cc, fuel injection and upgraded suspension.
