I rode the new Vmax recently. You feel like you're sitting really high and engine sounded like it had rocks in it. I thought I would really love that machine. Turns out not so much.

that 14 is a beautiful monster -- bet ya never go past the speed limit :evil:

nice bikes in here.
sec

Where I live I can ride as fast as I want. Deer are a problem in the morning though. Going on a nice long ride tomorrow. I have some trick shit I will do to it soon. I love everything about that bike except it's weelbase

hmmm, well I'll keep this in mind.

extended swing arm?

South park makes fun of everyone. I thought it was hilarious.

Got a 53 pan sitting in the shop as we speak. Just about done.

Not mine though, my buddy's dad's, well my buddy's now.

Pretty cool old school bike

I equate it to a guy in a golf cart waving at a jeep.....
But I generally wave back cause who cares, you know?

Switching from a sport bike to a VMAX is a big leap. It'll feel like a hog in corners and heavy. But it still handles better than most cruisers and touring bikes. It's made more for straight-aways. I loved mine, but I also had a lot of money and way more horsepower than a guy needs. BTW...the first thing I did was get rid of the factory exhaust. See post 36.

BTW...I'm jealous. I'd love to hit the LS corkscrew!!!

Somewhat.

I'm not going to restore it to stock but I don't want to put cafe bars on it because I'm trying to get away from the tuck position. I just want to cruise now and take some decent trips.

No I am not into the drag scene, The ZX -14 is just longer. Tight corners are more of an issue. It is lighter with more hp though. I am impatiently waiting for the next generation zx to see if I might want to do a craash sceen at over 500 hp at under 500 pounds but that is literally insane. The bike I have now does power weelies at will at 200 hp.

09 Street Glide for me. Love this bike.

badass. note the suicide clutch.

hahaha, well some outfits nearby LS do offer classes with bike furnished, though it's been awhile since I looked into the the LS scene. That track is very challenging because of the changing altitude within the course. coming down the screw is a challenge because the bottom turn is losing altitude and traction is misleading. once out of the corkscrew, there is a downhill grade with fast sweeping lefty that has a slightly funny exit camber to it due to the downhill, then it's off to the final two turns. Love LS. Go hit it mang.
