A woman from Palmerston Nth picked up one from TSS in Lower Hutt yesterday.

No idea if she is a KBer and no idea what she thinks of it.

I imagine that would be Hanshi! Hopefully I'll see her V-Max on Sunday!

I have no idea what she looks like but I can guarantee that her bum will NOT look fat on that bike

The only place I'm likely to take my camera is the wheelie bin! I will ask her what she think's though, but understand this is a $34,000 bike, so even if she hates it, she'll lie!

I had a sit on the V-Max during its pre-delivery service at TSS. It is a small person's bike -- like the B-King it has bugger all leg room.

Other than that all I can say is that the V-Max owns the expression "muscle bike".

Ah - I think the medical term for this is Harleyitis.

I have a Harley-riding friend who, after less than a month astride his brand-spanking 09 Road King, plans to have it listed on Trademe tomorrow. He has not fallen in love with it.

Ha he will probably end up making money on it selling it to someone who is on a 6 month waiting list!

He is expecting to lose some dough, but values his riding enjoyment more highly.

Just back from the movies , i took my partner and her boys to see Bedtime Stories - Adam Sandler at his best . Dropped my partner and 1 of her boys off as the other 1 was staying the night , i turn the corner to my place going past a mates place which he has rented out to see a 09 parked on the lawn , now being that i had 1 wee boy half asleep on the back seat i might go and investigate tomorrow .

Unfortunately I didn’t get to see the V-Max on Sunday, but I got a squiz at it yesterday afternoon when I stopped in at the pub.
Very, very nice and a whole lot of bike! Sounds good too!

Hanshi is very happy with it, apart from the relatively small fuel tank!
