    V-Max vs FJR

    i have to agree the FJR has it all. i just had to try the Max, as it was the bike to have back in the day! if they come out with the 1800cc for '08, i think i need to have one in my garage.

    V-Max vs FJR

    Well i got to ride a V-Max today, and in one word, " UNBELIEVABLE!" It is a brute! it was a blast to ride, and i have to agree, it's a good back-up bike. i tried driving it down the same route that i take the FJR. when i rode the FJR it was fast smooth, and rock steady. the V-Max was a handful...

    Guy in a car runs a red, taking out a rider

    I HAD A WRECK JUST LIKE THAT! i had a dumb f**k run the light, and left me with no place to go. I WAS VERY LUCKY!! i also had an FBI agent right behind me, who filled out a statement. needless to say i have a BIG payday coming.

    winters coming, and in the northeast, you will have plenty of time to restore it my brother.

    V-Max vs FJR

    hey randy, great picture! too bad you didn't keep the bike. i can't see myself trading in a bike, when i know i could get more for it on the street! i hate the way dealers beat you up when trading in a bike. why don't you keep the '85, and restore it? joe

    V-Max vs FJR

    the thing i like the most about the V-Max, is that it has CARBS, instead of FI. every one of my bikes have a carb except my FJR. with the surging problem, i'm second guessing my choise of getting the FI bike. after seeing first hand how many problems ALL the FI bikes have had, i make sure to...

    V-Max vs FJR

    would you wait for the updated model, or would you get another used bike? i enjoy my FJR, and have a blast riding it. i guess i really wanted to know if the Max would be able to compete with it. 112 miles between gas stations doesn't sound like fun, and if your telling me 18mpg lows, WOW that...

    V-Max vs FJR

    hey andrew, thanks for your reply. i wouldn't say i'm hell bent on getting it, but i have been watching them for quite some time. i can't believe it only gets 18mpg when you get on it. my ROUSH mustang gets better mpg then that. joe

    would you buy another V-Max?

    V-Max vs FJR

    if they come out with an 1800cc, that would be the bike for me! why do you say '97 or later for a used max? why did you sell your max, and why are you looking to buy another one? i have a few bikes, most are old harleys, and indians. the FJR is in a different league, and a blast to ride. i have...

    V-Max vs FJR

    hi all, i've been toying around with the idea of getting a V-Max. i've been watching them for quite a long time, but never pulled the trigger. has anyone on this forum tried the two? what would be a good year V-Max used, or do you feel the '08's are the way to go? thanks, joe

    Tour Master Flex Jacket

    they copied joe rockets jacket, and were told to stop. now they are coming out with a new version of the jacket, but that won't be till september. i bought a coretech jacket that i liked, but it doesn't have the removable panels. instead of having one jacket to do all the things i need, i now...

    Tour Master Flex Jacket

    thanks tstaff, i'll try calling them tomorrow, as i just read the post, and they're closed. i've seen the jackets on other web sights, but no one seems to have them. tour master has a full page ad on page 11 in this months cycle world, and said they stopped making them. they have a new model...
