Thinking about this to replace the liter bike

[The Snowman]

2011 Yamaha VMax. 1697cc of cruiser goodness.



Some questions:

• Do you think they make lowering links for it?
• Will it be a good bike for a beginner?
• Should I start another thread about it?
• Do you think they make a dual-outlet single exhaust for it?
• Will I use all that power?

I really have thought about it. But it's a Yamaha though and it's $20K. Not sure Mark (R7) would be able to live with himself if I were to get one.

Doooooo EEEEEEETTTTTT

That's a nice lookin bike man. As long as you feel comfortable riding it, I say go for it.

[Chippertheripper]

don't do it. it lacks sensibility. and if i know you chuck, you're moving towards that. if you want something blingy: this

plus, everyone else your age will be riding them.

if you want something less blingy, versys

[Kazinator]

If you are 50+ yes. Otherwise no.

More importantly, does it come in the pink paint scheme with flowers?

[BostonSVkid]

Honestly if I reached the point where I was going to be buying a cruiser, and a $20k cruiser at that, I would be either going 100% loud, classic cruiser, or the Ducati Diavel.


The one cruiser I could see myself on, even now. 2012 Victory Hammer S. $18k

I like impracticality, don't you know this by now? And when have I even shown an ounce of sensibility?

I don't like the look of enduro or supermoto bikes, so those are definitely out.

And where are the sarcasm meters lately? Everyone is so serious? Yes I like the VMax. Yes, if I had $20K to piss away (but I'd have to have this as a secondary street bike), I'd consider it.

Dammit foo!
That was supposed to be an 800st. So you'd be in with the Starbucks crowd.

[imkindafkedup]

I think they're sexy bikes and would definitely ride one. I can't say I've seen any of the newer ones on the road in my area.

The ST isn't bad, but it's still a more sportbike seating position.

[greenmonster]

as a beginners bike? Nope...you'll never use it all...learn on something safer...



I'd like to have one...

[Expat]

Don't do it!!!

[oVTo]

Vmax?
How about a lighter, faster, quicker, sexier, and less expensive power cruiser?

I've never been a fan of the VMax, but lots of people love 'em. You can pick up a used one for cheap too.

JohnnyV, youre speakin my language man. Although that particular color makes me want to club baby seals, the Hammer is FUCKIN AWESOME!

Friends don't let friends ride cruisers.
