Thanks for the video! Fun to watch the scenery and hear the engine sounds as you demonstrate the ride w/ RPM info too! I have a 2020 V-Max and love it!
The 2020 V Max is one of the hardest bikes to find on the showroom. Took me 2 months before I located one in Orlando. First service was taken care of before it hit 500 miles a week, it’s now sitting on 1500. Fantastic passing power just the small fuel tank that limits its abilities.
My 2020 should last me for years if I don’t wreck or drag it. But I do like watching and seeing what they are capable of. I’ve barely had mine to 4,500 rpms so far with 1,700 miles clocked. Stay safe !
WalterX motors it’s the first bike that I’ve owned since 1990. I’ll be 60 early next year. The VMax has been the bike of my dreams. I’ve wanted one since 85. I owned a V 65 and I thought it was fairly quick back in the day, but nothing like the 200 hp of the VMax. I was glad to get a response from you at least I know you are still vertical 👍👍
I have a 2018 VMax and people simply dont understand how fast or how well the bike handles. There is a stigma that the turn like crap, but I think that applied to the 2009 and earlier models. I absolutely LOVE my Vmax and wouldnt trade it for anything! :)
I have not had the pleasure of test riding the 2nd gen VMAX but by all indications it looks like soo much fun.Had 3 1st gen the last being the mildly updated year with better brakes a better forks etc.That V4 has so much personality for lack of a better term they are an addicting bike to ride so I know 2nd gen owners have to be junkies for their bikes lol.I don't want to sell any other bike or car I have to get a new one but if I could find a 09 up VMAX someone bought and didn't ride it because it scared them I would jump on it with both feet!
Unfortunately, it is not a power incarnation. If the concept of the original vmax is to be inherited, it needs to have a displacement of above 3 liters and super charger or nitro booster.
There is a mountain area off RT 81 close to Natural Bridge otw Roanoke it’s like GOD made for up side mountain for brute torque of this monster 👿 omg constant corners and smooth as glass . You will put test on tires up this hwy . Take to Reno NV if want wide hwy to Sierra Nevada 💖💖💖
@@mhalcon Get ready to yank and bank constantly had spitfires sticky compound or Metzlers little pricey but kevlar belted so not going to blow those out. Good luck and enjoy. Hit it early like 6am on Sunday.😉👍
If you wasn't doing late shifting all the time he would have kept up with him if not beat him. I have a 2016 VMAX with a gurued gear flashed ECU. I piss off a lot of sport bikes
@@oifmarinesgt this one was my first run , that why shifting terrible, but is getting better doing over and over , agree a lot the sport bike are surprised with the power of this moster bike !!
No way at 2.6m long should the vmax get off slower than a sports bike.. That's where it's strength is and it should hit the 1/4 at 10 sec or there about.. Sub if it has had a remap..
BEST PULLING BIKE ON EARTH. Nothing peels panties like a vmax.
I can't agree more !!! Thanks !!
Okay so the VMAX is an actual weapon of a bike. Wow
It's to my , I a great bike , heavy but powerful , have amazing torque and is very comfortable 👌
that sound when he slows down.. sounds like a jet slowing down lol
Lol

Thanks for the comment, is a awesome motorcycle !! I enjoy every minute i ride , congrats on the new bike !!

Lol. I thought I had a leaking tank .
Fantastic run !!! We want more
The rider of the Vmax is either scared or totally unfamiliar with the bike
No really, the Vmax has bold tires , hard to put the power to the ground
@@mhalcon that's a solid reason, I was rooting for the Max...
Will be doing again with newer tires
VMAX is like fighter jet with leather sofa and jacuzzi ;D
that is very accurate 🤣

Thanks , i have 27.000 mile since i buy it brand new in 2015 , is a strong motorcycle ,stay safe too !

Run it out every once in awhile..you wont hurt it..
@@DarkSim77 mine still hasn’t been redlined but I’ve gotten close. Over 5,000 miles on it now. Take care 🏍

the 2009 handles as yours. The Gen1 handling they are refering 1985-2005
i agree , the gen 2 is fantastic , is not other bike like the Vmax 1700
No my 09 handles great. It's the Gen 1 that are like shopping carts full of bowling balls.
i had the 1200 handled like shit i loved it 70 now so got an electraglide lol
@@c2protect That they do. Adds to the excitement. Dangerous as hell! Lmao
That sure looks like fun.
V max rider needs tons more time learning how to launch, shift and needs to rev much higher between gears
we still learning how to ride better and better
seem like the r1 rider was the less skilled one
Looks like a awesome place to ride,,
yes is its

Just wondering why isn't the Vmax speed shifting at higher rpms?
The bigger v4 engine have less higher rpm than small v engine . And in line engine have higher rpm than v engine
Super Vmax
That kinda looks like Malibu Canyon, or maybe out by pyramid lake. Somewhere between pacific coast hwy and the 14 fwy.
Close to 14 fwy
@@mhalcon I knew it had to be. I live off the 14 🤘
@@righty-o3585 awesome!!!
@@mhalcon I thought it was the Alabama Gulf Coast.
On a Vmax, you could creeeeep thru corners and still catch up to anyone on the straights...
Not a newer R1. R1 got the same HP and is 200 pounds lighter.
Holy smokes dude..
Let the clutch out. Don't back out of the throttle... Ever when your trying to run a quarter mile. Hold it open and run the gears.
Or just let off 1% with weight preload on the shifter and you have no need to touch the lever. It quick shifts.

Learn to launch from a stop and stay off the rev limiter.
I keep learning every day , thanks for the tip
I think I have to have one!
Definitely!! Is a awesome motorcycle!!
If Einstein rode a VMAX, he'd probably come up with some new laws of physics based on how the VMAX's acceleration distorts space and time!! lol
For sure , lol
Ahh that's cool statement
Vmax 300kg, R1 no alcanza 200kg
HELL YEAH!
My Vmax video Cory Couch
In der Realität hätte die R1 gegen eine offene Vmax 1700 bis 200 Kmh keine Chance das ist Fakt!
Whoever was riding that vmax 😂😂😂
Yeah , can match the R1m in hi speed , are awesome bikes !!
Clutch slipping?
No , the tire
Where do you live? Looks awesome for riding.
Thanks !!, in Los Angeles

one word...shinko..everything else spins..
I have at the moment Michelin Commander 2 ,give my great miles but are hard .I will try the shinko next time , what model you recommend ?
@@mhalcon I wouldn't buy a shinko tire again, cheapest tires there is and don't last at at. Michelin pr4 are great, have them on my r1 for years
I just replaced the rear tire for shinko 005 I have 240 , and I love it , handle way better and the Michelin . Lest see how many miles last
@@mhalcon put a 200 section shinko on my 2000 carbureted R1... Shinko also spins ...
