Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / March 2005V-Max is a crap bike....
my buddy told me not to buy one of these pieces of crap bikes but, i did it anyway. i paid nearly $10k OTD for new 03 MAX in 03. i been nothing but disappointed with this bike. it rides rough, its heavy, doesn't handle very well, even at moderate speeds, and leaks oil like a HDshove head. oh well, sh.t happens. let the buyer beware, V-MAX is not a good bike. of course, everyone already knows that. i guess i'll be trading my crap v-max off real soon. btw, i doubt if i ever own another yamaha. just my .02 worth. ............................

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >............................. >Motorpsycho Jim buy a thumper. grt an sr500 and ride, not cruise. I personally know of one of the earlier vmaxs that was seriously ridden very very hard, and was modified for more power, and ridden harder. This bike had well over 100,000km's on it and still ran hard when I saw it last. It is a power cruiser and if you keep that in mind, it is not heavy and poor handling. Once you compare it to other power cruisers, you will see that nothing compares. The vmax is not a crotch rocket and it does not take a rocket scientist to see that ...... if you don't compare Mr. Max to a crotch rocket, it will shine every time..... and another thing, Yamaha makes great bikes! I suspect Jim probably does not own a Yamaha and is just dogging it to make his ride look better. > my buddy told me not to buy one of these pieces of crap bikes but, i did > it anyway.

Yeah right--in your dreams you bought a motorcycle. Wake up Jimmy! You'll be late for school. >> my buddy told me not to buy one of these pieces of crap bikes but, i did >> it anyway. > >Yeah right--in your dreams you bought a motorcycle. > >Wake up Jimmy!

SignatureI'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. Jim, Sorry to hear about your ordeal with the V-Max. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a V-Max a cross between a "Croch Rocket" and a "Cruiser"? I know you are not happy with Yamaha right now......Have you considererd a "RoadStar" Cruiser? 102ci, cruisers, run great, no oil leaks, nor turning a wrench. Bike gives one heck of a great ride!!!! SignatureBob R:) > my buddy told me not to buy one of these pieces of crap bikes but, i did > it anyway. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > ............................ > Motorpsycho Jim the max is the world's fastest cruiser. 10''+ ET - 1/4mi.. at this time, the suzuki DL1000 v-strom is starting to look pretty good to me.
