Ive got a few hundred miles on this Vmax beast now and must say its incredible. The low end power is mind numbing. Dropping the clutch in 2nd gear at 50mph and the tire will spinenough to createsmoke. Riding at 100 mph and your at 5500 rpm and its as smooth as can be. Hit the gas and in a second your doing 130mph just like that.(oliver has a wiring mod to get top end to 168mph)Handling is great it rides super smooth at all speeds too. My strips are gone and I still haven't hit anything. There are exhausts currently out that make is sound like a dragster. Oliver did a X pipe, stock canson his and dynoed at 195 + RWHP and 125tq. My X-Pipe is on the way I can't wait. There are BAK being manufactured currently so 200+RWHP is going to be fairly easy real soon. Randy (Cruisemissle)is scraping his knee in the corners it handles that good. Today I raced three bikes. A screaming eagle VRod because he said I was scared. He never made it back to the harley dealership we were all atafter the race.The Racewas a joke at all stages. I raced an apriliaRSV a buddy of mine owns and he now respects the Vmaxalot more than before. I was three bikes ahead of him to 140mph when Vmax topped out. I dusted aGsx R 750 but it was just light to light. He was shocked when we pulled in for Gas. He asked "What kind of harley is that?". Its not a Harley its a Vmax I said..I am so happy with this bike and just thought I would share. I will be keeping this one for a very long time.
The New R1 is scary Fast and uncomfortable for me on the street. Maybe to much for this old man for a street bike. I my sell it when the Ducati streetfighter comes out here in a month or two. Its an upright naked street bike with traction control.
This is another Vmax rider but the only mod was the race ECU which changes nothing but rev limiter . Thats awesome...
