I wasn't being pedantic mate - I really didn't know what it was supposed to say.

How much are these rockets then?

This is the bike (not actual bike) I had until about two weeks ago. As I'm moving to Thailand in May, I had to sell my Max (I actually cried a little). It's a monster 4 carb 1200 cc goliath that will tear up just about any crotch rocket and hang with the hawgs too. If I thought I could find another in Thailand, that wasn't abused, at a fair price, I'd certainly consider.

I've always enjoyed massive amuonts of power. That ^ is ne bake I've always wanted to play with since it came out. There are a quite a few here. And folks that can work on 'em too! The engine has so much potential, It might even be capable of 200 hp in a semi streetable configuration; Electronic, timed port injection, bigger bore, stoked a tad...
Really just gobs of horse power and a couple of wheels, my kind a machine. Think the V-Rod actually comes close, and there's big bore kit available from Wisceco for it.

Certainly a favorite of muscle bike mags -- they drool over the design, virtually unchanged since it came out in 86 (I think). I've taken several trips up and down the SoCal coast and it's simply a pleasure to ride. But it's not without critics. Front end wobbles a bit at high speed, small tank (4g) uncomfy for passengers. For my money It's the best bike going that runs with neither crowd.

Think it was '84 or 5 been a while though can't be sure.

It is under-built for the horsepower no doubt. And yeah the FE is weak as. but that is part of it's appeal. Huge amounts of power and little else.

When it first came out they tested it at bonneville. think it clocked about 148 mph or so. better FE, more trail, and lowered; it'd do 155+ easy add a fairing and just spec the motor out so she'd live upstairs for extended length of time think the bike unbeatable for her class in time trials. Drags? Not so. Twisties? 'Bout as maneuverable as a hog without the comfort.

Very special beast, but i'd only buy one as my third or fourth bike. Rentals are an option here, but with the amount of power they put out I'd spend a couple of hours goin' over the thing for before I exercised 'er.

Passengers??? What the fuck is that? Even when I was young, dumb and fulla.. I rarely packed.

This is what you want - 12,000lbs of thrust. Or are you scared? OK, stick with your little shopper then.

One of my mates has one for sale - starter motor has just packed it in but is being replaced.

Oh, it's most definitely the UK...on a good day.
I believe the pic is stolen version of his bike that he hasn't got anymore owing to having sold it.

Leicester I believe.

Yes, that photo was nicked off the Net. I have pics of my (former) bike, but can't figure out how to post them.

I always liked the max as well. Some guys have done them over to improve handling, brakes and a few other issues. I would guess that a Hayabusa (sp) has more HP and more upside mod potential but I always loved V4 engines on bikes. I owned a couple of Honda VFR's in the past, loved that gear driven cam noise that sounded like a blower spooling up. Too bad they went to a belt drive on the new VTECH V4's.

If you get another VMax take a look on the net at the frame stiffening that folks do and get a nice set of forks and shocks and you should be good to go! If you got lots of coin get bigger wheels and brakes on that bad boy and you would really be off to the races.

Macha, really nice bike there but on a long ride, it would eat up my back and knees. I have to stick with the sport/cruiser type of bikes.

ZX-9's are good bikes.

My mate just smashed the fuck out of his in Kao Yai (Kao Yai has now claimed three of our bikes).

He slid along the road parallel to the bike - the bike hit a fucking kilometer marker and he went into the dirt - lucky lucky lucky fucker.

If he had hit that kilometer marker he would have had more than a sore shoulder.

I came off a 150RR last year doing about 80 and making the turn found someone had their clothes hanging in the street, missed them but then hit a hole in the road and came off. No damage really to the bloody bike as the damn thing landed on top of me. 2 broken fingers, roadrash and knocked the frick out. Was real lucky that this big Thai guy loaded me into his truck and took me to hospital. Doing fine now and got back on the bike as soon as I could. Did slow me a bit though.
