New 2009 V-Max Owner

Hi,

I am scheduled to take delivery of a V-Max tomorrow, August 20. She 'll try to succeed a mildly customized Triumph Rocker III, which I have owned since Oct. '04 and which I am parting with only due to my running out of passion for her.

Last Yam I owned, roughly a quarter of a century ago, was an XJ650.

More than happy to have been invited here by Shawn. Regards. Jamie

Welcome!

I love the new V Max, got a chance to demo one last year and they are impressive.

Re: New 2009 V-Max Owner

Hi,

Have e:mailed a pic of my new mount to Shawn. He may want to post it.

Another thing: The V-Max' only major flaw is a ridiculous fuel autonomy: A gluttonous thirst -which I don't mind in itself- combined with a ridiculously small tank (4 gallons or 15 liters). Does anybody know of a larger, aftermarket tank?

Thanks. Jamie
