Im a big motorcycle fan. I've been riding a bike longer than I have been driving a car.

The bike I have right now is not what I am looking for. I bought it last year because the one I had before that was just too weak(450cc).

I dont like crotch rockets, and Im not a huge fan of "Harley" type.

What I really would like is a Yamaha V-Max. I love the very basic design of that bike. And the raw power it puts down.

Anyone ever owned one? Anyone selling a old one?
Anybody has any bad feedback on them?

(I also like the BMW sport touring. but a tad too expensive for something I can only use 4-6 months a year)

Yup, they have been around since 1984-5 I beleive, they havent changed a whole lot since than.

Current models have about 110 hp.

for something this light, its just unreal.

injuries from slipping while coming out of the bath are pretty gruesome too...

Just gotta be careful in both cases...

Your ability to stomach the gruesome is impressive, but could you keep it to private email with him instead of here? Thanks in advance!

p.s. When you guys go see The Passion, the guy yelling out things like "You call THAT a beating?" "More blood, dammit!" and "Get up you fucking pussy! It ain't that heavy!" is Serge....
