4carbs...! my family's old car only got 1carb, also at times can be 'heavy' on the pocket.. hehehe.

 

Fyi I did call HLCorp & asked if they could bring in Max, was recommended MT-01 instead.

Any feedback appreciated, MT-01 over Max?

Most class 2 bikes has 4 carbs anyway......

 

MT-01 will never replace the Vmax. We are still waiting for a worthy replacement.

Guess any old mechanical stuff is heavy on the pockets due to high maintenance/replacement cost. Getting a old Vmax isn't that expensive. In fact I think the Vmax has the most 'Bang for Buck' comparing to other litre bikes. Wouldn't deny that maintaining a old Vmax is costly. Most good condition Vmax owners wouldn't want to part with their baby. A lot of owners here spent considerable amount of $$$ before their Vmax stopped giving problems. That's why i always say Vmax riders are a crazy lot..... Only a Vmax rider understands why...

 

MT-01 is not a Vmax.. Have not ridden one b4 so cannot comment much..looks good too.. but it's just not a Vmax..

maxbg why huh, you're also not into MT01?

MT-01 is maybe sexy, but vmax got its own style and taste!!!

So do you guys always hangout @handlebar or any new cool joints around lately to chill out & relax?(a couple of six-packs for the road...?)

 

 

Ya I wished but drinking & riding don't mix well (especially on a Vmax)... We do have coffee but that's just an excuse to meet up for a ride........ Good luck to your pursue of getting a Vmax..

[maxxmadness]

wait 1 more year and i believe the new max will be out...

V-Max Concept: Star Motorcycles Going Forward With Production?

By Dirck Edge

 

http://www.motorcycledaily.com/031807top.jpg

 

When Star Motorcycles introduced the V-Max concept to the press in Southern California at the Long Beach Motorcycle Show a few months ago, it was nothing new. This concept had been shown to the public years ago. Nevertheless, it was interesting to see the bike in the flesh.

 

The concept looks mean, in a Darth Vadar sort of way. Obviously, Star wanted it this way.

 

http://www.motorcycledaily.com/031807middle.jpg

 

In keeping with the design, the massive V-4 engine, which may displace as much as 1800cc in production form, is the "jewel in the crown" so to speak, and looks magnificent.

 

With the front end still raked out, it is clear that Star has nevertheless decided the new V-Max will handle better, with significant chassis improvements, and vastly improved brakes. That is, if the concept becomes reality.

 

This is where we reach Part 2 of this story. Rumors are now circulating that Star has made a decision to manufacture a new V-Max based closely on the concept machine, and introduce it to the World this Fall as a 2008 model (likely to become available for sale during calendar year 2008). Gestation of the new V-Max has been slow, and careful, with Yamaha monitoring, and surveying, customer feedback for several years. In the end, the new V-Max is likely to not only be the fastest cruiser in a straight line, but one of the fastest motorcycles in a straight line. Just like the original.
