Great video! Ive got a 2011 with an X pipe, Nash flash, air box mod, double clutch, big tire kit. Different mirrors, rear peg relocation kit. Had a gen 1 in high school and have been hooked ever since. Enjoy Brother!
I’ve owned Yamaha R1s since the first in 98 and still own one and just picked up a gen 2 vmax and wow I absolutely love it.
I own a 2013 MAX that I’ve had completely high performance modified and haven’t had an ounce of problems with it. It dynos now well over 200 hp at the rear wheel. And still handles like a champ on the backroads as stated. Just remember to respect all that torque and you’ll be good!
Ride a 2020 KTM 1290 Super Duke R, easy 3 gear throttle wheelie. It was very near top of my list when shopping for new machine this year.
@@ross5506 no doubt a scary bike , but it ain’t long enough to get the power down without the front lifting and therefore it’s not troubling any 1700 vmax at the lights or indeed a 1/4 or 1/2 mile drag..
@@alexandersimpson3638 lol i always love how every ymax owner thinks they have the fastest bikes ever. Yes they will kill most off the line, its a 1700 cc for fuck sakes. The wont touch my r1 in the quarter mile let alone the half mile. would out 60 foot me and probably eighth mile but after that see you later.
@@fenderfan8543 oooo R1, you're so cool
@@carado1984 you ride a 675 and your making fun of an r1? LOL. ok then.
Beautiful bike, and the sound that engine makes its unforgettable.👍👍
Thanks for the info on the V-Max great video and love the back roads you ride on. Love the V- Max. What can I say.👍🏻😎
I love the sound of the v-4 man... it's so sweet. I don't trust myself with a bike like this. only been riding for 3 years. never anything with this much power wow!
It’s definitely a powerhouse, what bikes have you had up until now?
Monster midrange and beautiful sound Still love them.
Great video. Please keep the MAX videos coming. I bought a new 2020 VMAX last month. I’ll keep the stock exhaust. It looks so cool from the rear with four tubes staring at you. Besides the small tank, another thing I don’t like is no center stand. Hard to use the oil sight glass alone or without a stand. I agree with your comments about a lot of people knowing or hearing about the VMAX. It turns a lot of heads and gets a lot of comments everywhere I go. Not many Gen 2s around. I have yet to see another one..either on the road or parked.
Definitely will do! Thanks for watching! Is your 2020 the blacked out one?
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx Yes, all black/matte black...the only color available starting in 2018. I had to travel three hours to Atlanta to get it. Not many dealers carry MAX. Not sure how much longer Yamaha is going to offer it, which is why I jumped on it now, before they pull the plug. It’s such an iconic bike, I had to have one, and the Gen 2 is so much better than the first gen.
Enjoy that 2020 ! I have a 2016 (the blue one) bought it new also. I've seen one other briefly when I was riding throug Monroe NC. Aside from that I'm on my own. I guess we're an odd bunch like our bike. lol
Beautiful area too, looks great for riding! :)
Absolutely, that’s a very fortunate part of central PA
Got my hands on a 2011 VMAX with 9000 miles with cat delete! Love this bike...looks good next to my 2020 Rocket 3r, 2011 Vulcan Vaquero Custom and 2017 Spyder Daytona! I put T-Rex Engine sliders and the small engine guards and Boulevard flyscreen. I also have the Dynamoto stands to move her around effortlessly!
Nice! Sounds like a killer fleet!
I’m just south west of Pittsburgh and I’ll be 53 in May next week I’m bringing home an 85 maroon colored Vmax with 11,000 original miles on it very well-maintained.Bone stock no mods
I had a fast bike and the vmax was the only one 😢out there that could smoke me. I really like your color choice and might get one. Great info on the bike so I had shout out to you 👍.
I just recently got my hands on a 2012 with 7000 miles on it and I love the bike always have. It is just a head turner. Hard to find these days so if you have a chance to grab one best do it .
great video bro, it's making me consider selling my Harley for one of these monsters
Amazing ! 👍🏽👌🏽❤️
Had a 92. I added frame braces and solid motor mounts and the handling improved 100% thanks to no more "wobble" at 45mph or 80mph. Before I added frame braces the bike was highly unstable at certain speeds. i also added a stiffer fork brace as well. ive considered a 2nd gen but I dont ride much anymore due to living in a congested area and distracted drivers running rampant. i dont need speed like i used to.
I have two gen1, 85 stock and a 03 with a ton of mods. Glad to see someone who loves them like me. I just can't get over the price of gen2 tho haha
what all do you have done to the 03?
I was caught up in the video. What is the exhaust you are running? Sounds great 👍
It's the only bike that you park in of your house and when people see it man that looks fast
I have to say ,parked that a zx14 looks ohhhh way faster!!!!
@@freedom9122 i hear ya man its all 👍
yes these things look fast sitting still
great video
Thanks Dave!
What tag mount is that and where are your rear turn signals?
loverly demo that exhaust note is the mutts, how much are they accross the pond?
Some 13 years later, it still is!
Thanks for the video, hopefully you can do a video showing how you did the intake mod. I want a VMax so bad. I’m plan to buy one when I pay off my Harley RG
Next vmax we get in I’ll show how the mods done, or when you get one let me do the video with your bike and I’ll do the mod for free!
Siegfried’s Motorwerx I’ll keep that in mind, I live just outside of Philadelphia
Here you go angel, nothing hard. www.holeshot.com/yamaha/vmax/2009-2014/products/holeshot-stage1-air-box-kit
Sell the harley now!!!!
Beautiful drive .. which is the town
I ride a VTX1800. I have always wanted a Vmax and recently test rode one. It was a first gen and I was disappointed in most all aspects of the bike. I love what I have seen of the gen 2's and hope to test one out soon. I will keep my VTX1800 because I love this bike, but hopefully I love the Vmax like I think I will, then my baby will have a friend to hang out with....lol
Same looking for a vmax got the 188
the Gen 2 is EVERYTHING the Gen 1 fell short on. you will love it (if you havent ridden one yet)
Subbed.
I've been looking at Vmax's for awhile now (kinda looking at Concours' too, but I'm a cruiser guy at heart). Awhile back, I ended up going with a V-rod Night Rod instead (which I've already sold lol), and while it was a great bike, I mainly was just too hasty buying it and noticed some worrying damage to it. Live and learn, someone else's problem now!
Still, that leaves me with my Honda Shadow. I love this bike but it definitely lacks that UMPH that I, as a red blooded American male, need to have fairly often. I was actually considering grabbing me a gen 1 Vmax since it would be financially viable to get one and keep my Shadow, but now you got me thinking that maybe it'd be worth selling the Shadow and just grabbing me a gen 2. My main concern honestly is comfort and if the Vmax makes a good "only bike".
Fuck it, I'm rambling. *I know you touched on the comfort level of the bike, but I'm really curious on the viability for light weight "touring" of the Vmax. I know it's got a smaller range, but idc much about that since I gotta break often anyway. How do you feel when you get off of it after awhile in the saddle?* Thanks, man. Sick bike. Even if you don't have the time to reply I appreciate the video a ton. I'll be taking note of what you did in case I do end up grabbing one.
It would depend how tall you are, I’m 6’2 and the mids get a little uncomfortable after a while, but you can add forward highway pegs which help with that.
Plus you’ll be stopping for gas so much that you’ll have plenty of chances to stretch lol
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx Thanks for the reply. You're a bit taller than me so if it's manageable for you. That's a good point though about getting lots of chances to stop and stretch haha. I might just pull the trigger on this!
Do itttttt, I’ve had Zx14’s, 1st and 2nd Gen S1000’s, Gen 1 vmax, m109, Yamaha raider, zx10. Just all the fast stuff. Nothing compares to this vmax in a useable sense at least haha
God the Vmax is such a sick ass bike, love that sound. I currently ride a 2020 harley softail standard which is basically the streeb bob but with some chrome/ polished aluminum. Both bikes have the same engine 107cubic inches which is 1746ccs, makes 86 HP at 5krpm and either 107 or 110 ft.lbs of torque at 3krpms. Can't remember which but yeah the 103 twin cam you're talking about, they don't make it anymore
also the video from the sena 10c evo looks good btw
Yeah we were just putting into comparison what Yamaha did with "103" Ci and Harley's super well known 103 ci. The M8's are impressive bikes, a good friend of mine has a FatBob 107 that has cams, a propipe, intake, and custom dyno tune; the bike runs ridiculously well. Will be posting some ride videos of us at some point!
Either way thanks for watching! That softail standard sounds like a killer looking bike, any work done to it?
@@sohighfashion6450 Do you think? It's crazy what a difference the stabilization on the GoPro makes. I wasn't upset with the quality of it after editing, it just changes the dynamic of the video.
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx nah the bike only has like 500miles, just got it. Finally found an exhaust i want, gonna go with the bassani 2 into 1 short road rage stainless steel.
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx after watching the moto guzzi video then the vmax, the gopro is more stable of course but the 10c evo looked great. I couldn't really tell if in the vmax video if it was shaking around or if it was just you moving your head around when talking. The stabilization is good, i know another TH-camr, Blockhead, did a video like this and in the video he switched from normal gopro to the 10c evo etc
I love mine on the backroads too but like you said you can’t stray to far away from a gas station and high octane.
my bike still has that classic muscle car smell that your gen 2 will never have. the gas from those carbs are the best smell of my life
Don’t get me wrong I really enjoyed my Gen 1 when I had it but I didn’t enjoy the actual ride of it anywhere nearly as much. BUT those Gen 1’s are a timeless machine!
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx yeah the suspension feels really old but have my vboost unlocked through my whole power band rather then 6000rpm that gave my gen 1 a little gen 2 update in acceleration but I plan o doing some front end work cause with under 30k on it I'm going keep it for awhile lol
Gen 1 bikes have lots of problems.. and too hell with those carbs..if the smell is all it has then the gen 2 has it beat by 100 miles
@@briankrasne3518 You are actually losing HP doing that. FYI. The extra fuel is NOT helping your engines life out. If it was, then every carbureted car from the 1980s on back would not have shelled engines at 50 or 60K.
Well it not my fault Yamaha kept Carburetors on the vmax for 30 ive seen others and they all smell very similar
Got a same 2010 model, purchased it last year. Has 4 to 1 exhaust, drag bars, a lot of carbon fiber. I had two diavels before , first gen and second gen.
How do the diavel’s compare?
My diavel got knocked over in the garage, insurance deemed it to be trashed. I was gonna get another diavel, it was my dream bike for years. Loved it. Couldn't find a good deal got frustrated , was waiting for so long.
Then Vmax showed up, 3k miles on it all the extras so I decided to go for it. First impression was , holy shit its heavy, slow speed turning took time to get used to comparing to diavel. Those drag bars probably make it more difficult..
Other thing was my legs were super high when you rest it on foot pegs, comparing to Ducati. Diavel was a beast, super fast but when I twist that throttle on vmax its on a diffrent level fast. The manner it gets you there its so much more intense. Other than that they are both musle cruisers very similar in my opinion. Both have long wheelbase. Also when I changed tires on vmax to Shinko it completely transformed the bike. Stock tires were horrible.
Do you feel the diffrence after the flash??
Yeah the flash was really well worth it, what Shinko are you running? Mine has Metzler’s on it, they break lose all the time I couldn’t imagine a harder compound
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx
Running shinko verge 011, the really stick well. Stock Bridgestone felt like ridding on bricks, no traction whatsoever. Do you have stock 200 rear tire or 240?? I run stock 200 wish I could get BTS carbon wheels on it.
How much did you pay for your flash if you don't mind me asking
The Jett flash was 225, I’ve got the stock 200 size, but I’m planning on switching to a 240 next tire
Where is your shop? that place looks beautiful on your ride
Still have it !!!??? Sound reminds me of a 427 Cobra,nasty !!! Please wear gloves,protect those hands,hopefully good boots too !!! Thanks for making video,really enjoyed it !!!
What exhaust are you using? Please let us know..I love the sound
It’s the voodoo exhaust
looks like yo are riding on the outskirts of Nashville!!
I got 2018 white 26 k also brand new best bike I ever own for touring can work but lots of stop for gas my only complaint gas capacity but if u make biger air flow increases milage for 120 miles from syngle tank everything stock
Nice Bike, did you do the big air mod to it?
I added a larger gas tank. Best mod for me and my riding style.
Yes I owned one... I had a 1988 V-max. Bought it at cycle world in Milwaukee..... VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER..........
What helmet is that?
Nash flash is the one to get. Its basically perfect and removes ALL of the speed and power limiters. That said, better add the double clutch diaphragm spring as well.
What's that ? Explain please...exact numbers too
..
Definitely, mine is now double sprung ready for the inevitable guru flash! 🤪
love the vmax was looking to buy one but like you said the small tank stop me from buying it that a shame because i really like that bike but i bought a kawasaki concours instead change the seat put some block handlebars raiser on it and cruise control i love to ride fast and comfortable for long ride i dont regret my choice.
The concours is a great machine. Did you get the 1000 or the 1400?
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx 2017 model is 1400cc im gonna ecu flash it in 1 week to unleash its full power wooo!
Not sure if you’ve heard of Ivan but his flash on the concours is top notch! Congrats on the bike by the way!
I have a 2009 which I bought new. Its the best bike that I've ever owned. I've left mine completely stock. I like the look of the stock exhaust system. The only thing that I have done to it in 11 years is tires, oil, and coolant. By the way, you can easily remove that ugly safety sticker on top of the air box cover by heating it with a hair dryer for about a minute. It will then peel right off. I did that the first day that I owned mine.
U can get a cat delete y pipe and keep the stock cans and looks, will take 30lbs off and open the sound up a bit
Really never any mechanical issues ?
@@Insaiyanrider None. Still going strong.
@@Insaiyanrider well u want the flash still. But Nash has several options including stock muffler with y pipe. Extra 5-10 hp jus happens to be the unfortunate side effect. 🤣😂🤣
@@seanbutler2291 I've considered the Nash flash but it just seems over-priced to me especially since its been available for almost 10 years.
I'm debating if I really need to get rid of my gen 1 in order to buy a gen 2.
If I had a nice commute like that, I think about coming out of retirement.
I heard Gen 1 and Gen 2's get along really nicely in a garage
maybe its time for both
Get it...
I have a 14 max and a 15 Harley street glide. Enjoy them both. The max more really. 😁
Now that you have had this Jett tune for a while what are your thoughts. I like you can't see spending another almost 400 dollars for the Nash flash if the advantage is only negligable. Would like your feedback.
Love it, I have ZERO reason to even consider the Nash flash. I played that “go to guy” game on an m109 and a vaquero. On both those bikes I had the go to guy flash and the other guy flash and both performed equally as well with both set ups
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx thanks, 400 is a lot of money. If there was a night and day difference I could see it but I don't. Thanks again.
Hey dude where in PA are you located??? Im out in the lehigh valley.
We are in Lebanon PA
How many smiles per gallon do you get from that monster? How do you find it compare to the new Rocket 3?
Smiles per gallon is off the charts....miles per gallon can be really pitiful if you start having to much fun.
Typically I end up around 20
Cool helmet you got. What make and model? Does it come in black?
its a scorpion ADV 950 and it does! We can get you set up with one if your interested!
Does the wind screen help? I’m considering the stock version… the big one. I’ve tried the Puig… I’m ready to sell it! The wind sheer is VERY LOUD!
Never tried the bike without it
I liked the way it cleaned the front end up
I sold the Puig… bought the stock windscreen. Much better windscreen!
Great video dude, really.
thank you for the kind words, truly!
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx You're welcome
You know, I had a 2018 Gen 2 with the Guru mod. I loved the bike, hated the gas mileage and the front end was so heavy. That being said, if they had solved the gas tank/mileage to get 150 per tank I would have kept it. Probably the most refined, well built motorcycle I have owned and the includes Ducati's, KTM's and BMW's. I will say that my Super Duke was a more violent machine and felt faster. I ended up selling my Vmax but I do have a Gen 1 1985 as well. I am thinking about finding another Gen 2 but I want a 2015 Red.....not easy to find though.
I've always been into muscle bikes. I daily an Ivan flashed Yamaha Raider. Which is heavier than the Vmax and still handles back roads great. I'm not pulling as much horse power(I'm dynoed at 100hp and 128 ftlbs torque), but it still pulls and roars like an angry dragon and doesn't leave me needing more power. With that said......I WANT a VMAX. If the bike isn't over the top... Is it truly worth it? Hahaha
I had a raider that was tuned
Still a crazy fun bike. Honestly if I couldn’t have both I’d have a hard time choosing one. They are both such wild bikes in their own right
Honestly probably two of the only bikes I’ve missed
It's a beaaaassstttt
I've been riding it 2 years now and I'm in love with and I enjoy learning the bike I never blow 100+ but I still love those 0 to 80s cause I still want to enjoy the bike.
I am going to be sixty two in January and have road bikes all my life I sold my bike I had a 2003 gold wing was my last bike I had plenty of respect for everyone and road very very careful most of the time one day I got behind a biker gang they were taking up the interstate one by one they kindly got over and let me pass they were cruising about 75 mph after I finally got around them I goosed my wing when I looked down I was going 155 mph and still had room to twist my wrist I never completely opened up my gold wing but I will never forget the one time I did that I had sport bikes do that to me all the time once they passed me at 90 mph on their back wheel I sold my bike about 7 years ago now I check them out on TH-cam and get a thrill watching all you guys ride yours be careful on your bike enjoy it and live to tell about it that’s where it counts. Have a wonderful day 🏍
@@Gpuma83 its always nice hearing other guys stories but how do you get a goldwing 155mph tho
also my dad has a goldwing and a lot of young guys my age have no clue how powerful that bike is. it's a intimidating bike with a 12.5 quarter mile and 1800cc. probably the most powerful touring bikes I've ever seen.
Brian Krasne be careful that was my 03 I heard they are even more powerful today with sport mode I only did it once but that wasn’t everything it had that’s where I stopped still had more throttle but the Harley gang was no where to be found a Harley Davidson can’t get up that fast I don’t know if they have a governor or top end even that high.
Oh and by the way I’m about to retire if I ever do get another bike ever it will be a vmax they are the cats meow on the road highly respected by all riders great choice enjoy my dream. Lol 😂
Got 4 gallons tank fuel consumption grow drastically after re flush pros and cons..my is bone stock I cut front of the air box wher air filter is locate after 15 min computer adjust for deferent air flow for normal driving steady speed I make over 120 miles form single tank
that is really solid mileage for a MAX
U still have it?? Updates on the bike? How do u like abt the reflash need ur feedback ...thinking abt having their reflash for mine
I don’t have the bike anymore, but it was fantastic while I did have it. Jett was always helpful when I had questions
Highly recommend them
Thx mate
Hell, a Screaming Eagle 131 kitted Harley can’t do that, but they’re still dope though.
..one of the 'cocain' sort of motorcycle brands, a legendary history and a higher priced addiction with flecks of good and bad decisions being a souring edge, towards the bitterness of Buell...
Sorry, I'm sure it is dope, as it is a well looked after, tweeked and setup/adjusted to suit its rider & is often used machine, that it's great for how it is.
..If the 131 your bike or one you've been passenger on, or know of it by knowing its owner, cool, keep it 'rubber side up' ;¬) ;¬P
The Harley 131 is a joke. Everyone that is serious goes aftermarket... the new ones can easily get 160+HP for 4-5k... An important factor to consider too is insurance cost. Insurance for a new Harley is like $50 a month, a sport bike is like $300.... in one year of riding the Harley you could save enough to buy a bigger built motor for it compared to any other sport bikes. Sure it won’t be quite as fast but most people don’t go over 100mph anyways...
Have 2016 with only 6.000 miles 100% original. I don’t see the need to mod this bike for my taste. It is fast enough. I might consider changing the exhaust. Beautiful back roads. Please, please and please, wear protection gear. Safe rides to everyone
Yes I can't keep rear tires on it.
I want to get a VMAX so bad lol
Why would you mess with a masterpiece?
The MONSTER IS IN YOUR GARAGE!!!!!!!!!! Not your nightmares!!
Gpuma83 literally “lol”
I want one so bad I've got the fever for one ugh
do it, it was the best bike i ever owned. was definitely worth the experience
One more question, where do you purchase the dd clutch mod?
You just double up the oem clutch spring
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx What about the bolts? Are they long enough or do you have to buy longer ones? Obviously don't want them to snap if they are too short.
Stock bolts are A-okay
I got brand new OEM when I did mine but that’s just preference
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx Thanks for your help. So it is simply removing the 6 bolts, pulling the cover off, placing the new plate over the old plate and reassembling? Just checking. Seems easy enough. I have done everything else on my own including the airbox mod. Ride on!!!
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx Did you have to replace the gasket. Don't want to buy one if not needed. Thanks.
Any idea what the top speed is ? There's a guy that made a comment that he and his buddies were going 185 - 190 mph in the late 80's...I have a hard time believing that . Especially when he said he had a "kawasaki " v-max . I'm on a zx14 by the way. It has zx10 wheels, which are much lighter than factory 14 and I have possibly every power adding bolt on you can get
I have a 1st and 2nd gen vmax my 1st gen has slip on pipes super trapp and a drop in K&N it tops out around 150 mph and sways down the road due to frame flex. It is a shitty feeling and something you only do a time or 2. That dude is full of it. My old kz1000 would do 160 and felt very stable at speed.
There is a REAL Motorbike!😱😀”The bike that killed the V65 Magna” (along with premature cam wear🤣😢) It just kept getting BIGGER!❤️
yes! I'm waiting for the day you scoop one up
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx YES, of course you can ride it when I find one and find it! 😂
Image is good
thank you, my only complaint was the lack of image stabilization
Many Harley owners finally got smart enough to not race Sport Bikes.. Most HD Owners have no Clue what a V-Max is .. Harleys now now have 117 Cubic INches 128 Cubic Inches and 131 Cubic Inch stave IV kits with high compression pistons and higher rpm cams.. ect..
You got the valve adjustment schedule wrong it's 24000 miles you recited in kilometers.
I appreciate the heads up!
What pipe did you use for the decat?
The voodoo system includes the cat delete
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx I want to keep the stock exhaust pipes. I see two options. The Dominator pipe is the least expensive but it is not coated. I have one on my B King and it works. I would rather use a pipe that is black or ceramic coated. Thanks for the quick reply.
steven weisbrod you could have it ceramic coated
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx Here in SW Florida there are no shops that do this. Just powdercoaters. Star Rider has a pipe that already is coated for about 150 dollars more than the Dominator pipe. For the trouble I may just bite the bullet and go with the Star Rider pipe. It is also manufactured here in the USA. Again thanks for the input.
No problem! Thanks for watching!
My VMax gets 45 miles to the tank. I get about 6 launches and
10 mins off cool down ride.
Thirsty girls, but its well worth it when you crack that throttle
On the road I've had flashing fuel light at 63 miles from full. I get around 2400 miles out the tyres. lol 😂
Really wish Honda kept the 1200cc VFR motor and remade the Sabre or Magna. Coulda been interesting.
I wish more companies would have gotten into the muscle bike battle
Most are scared of them. Especially if they rode one and survived. I have the 1st gen. 1985 1200 cc with 285k miles documented.
where are your gloves bro?
I knowww, I forgot them that morning when I had left work
Lol..when you got on it..I started pedaling faster on my exercise bike. Side note I owned a ‘07..so much fun.
I loved my Gen 1 but you don’t know what your missing until you mount a gen 2
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx I agree your's is a monster. If I wasn't 5'6" and 145 lb puny guy I would be owning one.
Even better power to weight ratio ;)
The second thing you should have bought after what cat delete/midpipe exhaust you chose, was GURUED GEAR ECU by Tim Nash not Jett, never heard of them. Trust me its the only one to have.
My Jett tuning flash does just fine. Nothing against Tim Nash, just can’t justify spending 3 times as much for at most a marginal difference
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx I doubt we're comparing apples to apples - your saying it costs a 3rd of Tim's price? - if you would give me IN DETAIL what the jett reprogramming does and I'll compare that to Tim's, because I know exactly what it consists of. thanks
I like the VMAX better than the Suzuki M109 Boulevard.
oh 110% yes every day of the week
ship mine to you,, you do me this build.?
We absolutely can do that for you!
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx sweet i will get into the shipping cost , when you can give a rough cost on build and aprox time to get it complete. no hurry on build prefer have it done right and to your satisfaction. oh and ship to address.
I've a bmw 1200 gsa rallye 2018 model owned many bikes over 41yrs triumph rockets valkyrie sports old gen vmax etc bmw by far best all rounder butttt will get a gen 2 vmax for odd sunny Sunday rides v8 mustang equivalent on 2 wheels
Yeah it’s a great bike to keep the lead in your pencil
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx Had loads of bikes really liked the triumph rocket and ducati diaval plenty of bikes are faster or better tourer or whatever butttt the gsa 100 Adventure Rallye I have is just the best all rounder bar none
Sorry 1200 gsa rallye adventure not 100
I have the blackout '20 and absolutely love it... Gotta have it "flashed/reset" and those god-ugly dumbo mirrors need to go...
the blacked out ones are such wild bikes. How is the MAX treating you?
Gen 1 isnt any better, if that's the worst you can think of lol, you'll live . It was never really intended to go long distances, the only think that truly competes with Vmax is a better Vmax!
lol i know BUT they made EVERYTHING on the Vmax bigger from Gen 1 to Gen 2 EXCEPT the gas tank haha
It's a dragster
very true
This needs quickshifter!
You're being mis informative to the public, and actually Yamaha is as well, they state 200 horsepower, but they don't tell you that is at the crank, 170 at the rear wheel. And when you buy a brand new VMAX, they also don't tell you that the bike is governed to 80% of its power, and you have to get it reflashed to obtain the full 100%. Now the general public has been schooled with the correct information.
He literally said all that stuff tard. And everybody knows it's always crank hp.
Done....
amen!
Thank you headbanger for expressing your vast knowledge of specifications. WHO FREEKING CARES! The Vmax is a beast!!! Period!
After market tank 25 Litres gives 300klm range., 😁😎😁, that makes it a long distance power cruiser
but it makes for such an eyesore
They do sell a larger gas tank for the Vmax
I know but such little reward for such an expensive part and long process, if I’m 100% keeping this bike for years then I likely would do it
@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx I have followed the VMAX forums closely for many years. I haven't read of anyone yet that didn't have trouble with the larger after-market tank. They typically leak. Buyer beware.
@@stevewhite6252 Thanks for that. I was considering one. They're expensive. Now I know the quality sucks I'll just plan my trips more careful and keep my stock tank.

They also have a 1.2 gallon extra tank that replaces the plastic cover by the air vents.
Looks pretty neat. No need to take the bike apart.
Its called tour-star extra fuel tank, just Google it.
157 HP stock, capable to 230 HP
Not 200hp stock. 160hp to the rear wheel.
200 crank stock, WHP not usually shared by manufacturers
More cons....no center stand. No self cancelling turn signals. From someone who has the last of the Gen 1s and the first of the Gen 2s.
It's not about the miles/gallon. All about the smiles/gal
aint that the TRUTH!
Define a muscle bike? Lol, meet me in the twisties. My cruiser will smoke the vmax.
V Max is a muscle bike not a cruiser
Hey kid, put some gloves on.
I keep them next to my helmet now. So while doing videos at the shop
I’ll have them to put on
No gloves? You sound like a rich kid.
Cruiser? Yep, its fast but boy is it ugly! Where besides a race track can you use 200hp?
On every single straight section of road you find..lol

Not covering your front brakes is very novice....and no gloves....deadly.
heard loud and clear. Thank you
Red isn’t the best color for a vmax... a bit too feminine
