biker-buddies Here we are getting ready to ride to Sacramento.   biker-buddies

    We have arrived at one of the Yamaha dealers in Sacramento.. I got to looking at the Blue R-6 behind the VMAX and then I saw it.. instantly my heart started thumping.. I've been looking for one of these for about the last year. The first VMAX I ever saw was back in December of '84 in Los Angeles at a bike show. PeeWee (professional rider) Gleason did a big smokey burnout on one. (This is when they first came to the USA. Dec.'84) I really didn't want a new one but I figure I'd get a full factory warranty and being a major purchase.. I thought (with the help of my friend Joe- AKA- Mrmilk ) I Gotta get it..! So I said YES to the sales guy. So I'm now a little in debt, but I'm really styling now.. Just 30 miles on this baby. v-max-1
What's that..? you still don't believe it's mine..  The Yamaha Dealer is Capitol Yamaha, they're on Auburn blvd. in Sacramento. Some people think I get to crazy with my camera, but I do it because.. I CAN..! You would too if you had a digital camera like this. I love it too.. A 3 1/2" floppy is it's film. Here's a picture of MrMilk sitting patiently.. mrmilk.com and here is another pair of bike shoppers.. I Emailed them this picture. interstate_cruiser Awesome ride too huh..?

Happy trails to all you bikers out there.. Be safe and keep the rubber side down.. hehe.. Literally !

The V-Max. Think of it as the Arnold Schwarzenegger of power cruisers. A 1200cc, liquid-cooled V-4 stoplight-to-stoplight beast that's won more Best Musclebike awards than it knows what to do with.

The truth of the matter is that, over the years - 15 now, in fact - Mad Max has been wiping the boulevard with pretty much every musclebike-come-lately in terms of pure, unadulterated acceleration. But then, what else would you expect from a machine with hotted-up, high-lift cams and a quartet of massive downdraft carbs stoking its ravenous V-4 powerplant. And that's just for starters - things really get fun once the tachometer sweeps past 6000 rpm and a little thing called V-Boost induction kicks in, force-feeding the engine, via a servo-controlled butterfly valve, huge mouthfuls of unleaded. When V-Max's fat, 6" rear tire hooks up, it's all you can do to say "Brace for light speed, Luke."

There is a civilized side to the brute, however, with its vibration-quelling counterbalancer, smooth, hydraulically activated clutch, adjustable front and rear suspension, triple disc brakes, and new-for-'99 carbon-fiber-look fenders and gas tank cover. But don't let these, um, refinements fool you. V-Max has always been about two things: attitude and acceleration. And, as Motorcyclist magazine so kindly pointed out, "nothing before or since turns straight pavement into a party quite like it."
