I have a 2018. I got it used in 2019. It had 2371 miles on it. So the original owner did not like it, or it scared the bazeebers out of him. I will go with option 2. Today, I hit 57k miles. 13 Sets of tires later, I will tell you, it has been miles of smiles. I have had so much fun with this thing. You can cruise for hours. Your weight is on your butt, not your wrists, like a crotch rocket, and it corners so good. There is tons of torque coming out of the corners, enough to make a crotch rocket nervous. In a straight line, from a dig, it is hard to beat. It has no traction control, wheelie control, launch control, nothing but abs. It is just you, and the machine. You have to figure out how to get out of the hole, and not blow off the tire, unlike the modern crotch rocket, that uses computers to help you ride. My monster is not under my bed. It is in the garage. Waiting on me.

Great review of mighty max. I had a 09 and now an 18. Yes, absolutely would buy a gen 3 VMAX!

[@eyezlikeydrums]

Thanks Spite. Finally, an in-depth really good normal review on the VMax. Nothing but facts told on this whole review. Especially the fuel thirst and the fun teasing that comes along from your friends. Like, you just topped off, leave the gas station, come up on another gas station after 10 miles of riding and your friends wisecrack and jokingly asking if we all need to pull in again! 😂 Funtimes!! I got my 2014 new and it is still 100% an absolute joy to ride. Such a great bike. Zero issues. It's a super comfortable cruiser, the braking is fierce, and bottom line, it's fast AF!! I could own 10-20 different MC's and my 14' Vmax is still a motorcycle I never see myself getting rid of. Oh yeah, my beard got longer watching this vid.

[@RedBud315]

I remember when the 1st gen came out and I was at the Rock Store in the Santa Monica Mountains when this guy rolled by at about 10 MPH and jumped on it. He left at least a 50ft black stripe and I thought the guy was going to kill himself when he started going sideways. When that V-Boost kicks in you are basically doubling the carburetor barrels.

[@No.one.or2]

I have the same year vmax. A new front tire will help but won't cure it fighting you in the corners. It likes to go straight when you're on the throttle. When i bought mine it had metzeler 888's on it and you could roll on the throttle anywhere in 1st or 2nd and melt the tire. Now i have new shinko's and it only spins when its cold. I kinda miss the spin in some ways because it was soo controllable and fun af. It the most fun I've ever had on two wheels! 100 mile range on super only sucks and I'm very careful with my throttle lock.

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

I’ve never been into cruisers, R1 only for me. Then I rode one of these. I now own the original 2009 vance and Hines cs-1 transformer themed vmax1700!!!

I went to get a V Max but it felt like I was on a tricycle. I tried the Goldwing and by knees were into the fairing.

Just to add on, only 3 bikes have ever floored me with envy. The Speed Triple (best sound ever created from a motor cycle), the SB8-R (the gates of hell open up on the intake....children cry, and dogs fall over in fear...it sounds that evil) and the supercharger wine from the H2.

Well if a KZbinr is from the United States they're probably going to use the measurement system that they were born and raised with.

I was in love with the V-Max for a while when they first came out. That was until I discovered the Boulevard C-109R a few years ago. It's "only" 120hp, but at 118ft/lb, it's up there with the V-Max in torque. I bought a 2010 109 about 6 weeks ago, and I love it so far. It has a few quirks like the linked braking system, and an extremely sensitive TBW system, but I'm adjusting to them. There's plenty of videos on the M-109R, but barely anything on the C-109R, and I'd be interested in hearing your views on it if you can get your hands on one.

If you know about the intake and fuel delivery system on this motor then you can understand the low to midrange power of the VMax. The physical appearance was a revolution and the engine is a mechanical monster. At the right rpm all four carburetors start feeding the whole motor. Its complicated buts it's quite effective and efficient.

there was a company that made an extended fuel tank for it, not sure if they still do, also there was a company that made a gas tank that goes in the typical gas tank spot, again not sure if they still make it. a Japanese company made a FAT rear tire kit that used a custom drive shaft to move it out farther to fit a really wide rear tire. the blacked out 2017 vmax is my dream bike, just wish I could afford one :(

Dissociative by Dillon Knighton. I got it from Epidemic sound, not sure if he's got tracks on streaming platforms.
