I hear ya. I just got a 2020 VMax about a month ago. I can see how it could get a guy in trouble in short order. The crazy thing is I haven’t owned a bike since 1990. I lost my only brother to a Kawasaki Eliminator back in 90 and I sold my V65 two weeks later. I never lost the desire to ride. I’m hoping that I’ve grown up and not just grown old. Always wanted the VMax since 85. Take care !
Heard your tire break loose on downshift, mine would always do that unless I blipped the throttle before easing out the clutch. Mine was gen one 1985, great bike, kerker 4 into 1 and some Vboost work.
@RAGB It's good You uploaded this. Fans of VMAX can see the Commute. You Navigate the Roundabouts LIKE A BOSS! I like Your Bar End Mirrors. They are Way Cool. I have a 1985 & 2015. Mine are All Stock/unmodified. I like My Stock Mirrors, (Always LIKED Yamaha Mirrors) Do Your Bar End Mirrors Yield a Better Field of View?
I love doing the twisties with the Vmax. The original Gen 1 is a little bit scary in high speed cornering but with the Gen 2 they solved it. Check out my raw onboard 1 video for some cornering action!
Gearbox sounds as clunky as a Harley on the downshift. I expected a much smoother and quieter transition down from something a little more advanced like the VMAX.
The sound pickup is just above the gearbox pedal and tends to inflate the gearbox sound. Nevertheless, yes it sounds a bit clunky but it's very precise.
Beautiful scenery but I don't know where it is. I just know it ain't New Orleans where I'm from. I could tell it wasn't New Orleans because you weren't being shot at and your bike bieng stolen. You know because of all our new diversity.
Awesome video - great audio clarity and wonderful engine/exhaust sound. What is the exhaust setup you have? I have the Gen II as well but yours seems to have that "growl" factor!
Strong, good bike...I hope you're still with us!
Thanks John! Yes, still here 💪
Wow this thing sounds phenomenal
I miss my Vmax even more than I miss my CR 500. God, in his wisdom, took them both from me before I killed my dumb ass

Playing with fire,good luck to you
WHY BUY IT IF YOU DONT USE IT
At least give yourself a chance and use turn signals when changing lanes!
Great sounding bike!!!!

i really wish to ride this Bike one day….
Bar end mirrors so dope 0:31

They do the job well. 👍
Hi len - zeplin. My mirrors give the standard field of view. For me both get the job done.
@@ragbvmax4927 As long as You Can catch the Cheater Sneakng up from Behind. That's what they're for.

❤️❤️❤️V-max❤️❤️❤️
BRING BACK THE VMAX!
Brocks performance has the 240 tire kit for $3200 is that the best deal I can get?
Sounds expensive. I think you can get away with half of it.
Nothing like 130 hp at the tire. VMax badd a$$
More like 189 rwhp in this baby 😉
i own a v max they are straight-line bikes - the handling is a little crazy

The motor on this bike is the same size as my Civic, with about 80 more hp at the flywheel. Damn
I got 440 horse
@@tracycagle7281 Yeah well I got five fiddy horse torques at the wheelie bars
I cant say how much I got but the back wheel is beside the front when I race it
@@tracycagle7281 That's because you're granny shiftin and not double clutchin like you should
I do t even use clutch
I race and ride mine all the time, I hope Yamaha makes the 3rd Gen.
Let's hope so!
@@ragbvmax4927 im just a kid at the age 21 but my dream is this bike one day will they ever make a new one?
@@BFHPET I'm pretty confident on that!
@@ragbvmax4927 its a most beutifuel bike in my opinion
I bet it will be electric
Hahahaha, up to 160km/h in a city, dude I guess we are twins !
Impressive
I hope you have a great term life policy!
Your trousers go forwards and the world goes backwards. Get in!!
what kind of exhaust you have? Also, power commander/tune?
It's best of best my v friends
Spettacolare

Sorry to know that. It’s still one of the benefits of living in Portugal, but times are changing here too.
Looks like FL.
@@c2protect
Portugal is the Florida of Europe.
Exhaust sounds 1:15 Mmmmmm
Is that the stock exhaust?
Bass Player nope. It’s an H pipe with the cat off
I'll have to look that up. Years ago I had a 1985 and a 1992 Vmax
Violenta
@@ragbvmax4927 Is it an Akrapovic H pipe with oem mufflers? I like this sound a lot
@@ragbvmax4927 I own a 2015 with Vance & Hines exhaust. Sounds sweet, but I do like the look of the stock exhaust better. JMO.

Board Member, for the exhaust just the cat off, replaced with an H pipe. Enlarged airbox intake and the power commander.
Great - thanks mate. Enjoy the rides. Love the videos.
