    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

      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.

      @ragbvmax4927  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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!

  • @POLDRO
    @POLDRO 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    • @ragbvmax4927
      @ragbvmax4927  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.
