I must have watched this 25 times. What a beast.

By far the best sounding machine on this planet!!

Amazing bike Amazing riding skills!!! Rock on brutha!!!!

I'm about 5 ft 10 and 250, I'm also all arms and legs with a short midsection, it handles me fine. Although I've heard of guys complaining who are around your size, people complain no matter what though. The bike is very wide through the middle, seat, and leg area, and its more than capable on long rides. My only real complaint is that it has a 4 gallon gas tank, and believe me it can drink gas.

thanks man, its my second Vmax, im a long time Yamaha fan.

Thanks man, I had a 91 Vmax as well, it wasn't supercharged but I have ridden a few bikes with turbos on them, its quite an experience.

Thanks, and to answer your question, no, I am using the clutch. I just keep the throttle pinned, 2 finger the clutch in as quick as possible with my foot already loading the shift lever up, and BANG...I'm in the next gear.

Nice! I've got an 09, too, and just did the full UFO 4-2-1, program, air, etc. It's a quick and very fun bike. Not quite as quick as my busa was that I traded in for it, but it damn sure feels a lot quicker. I can't imagine anyone not loving this bike after riding one!

Unbelievable power. I cannot believe how quickly it rolled on from 70 to 120 . . . .in one gear.

Thanks mate,

that´s about 12 seconds from zero to 120mph - which is about 200km/h -- with a leisurely start around the curve - onto a common freeway - and she sounds like she wants to dance - always has and always will! What an ungodly FUN ride! FINE ride!

Love it! When you first got on the interstate it looks like the other vehicles were parked as you went by them

I wish i had that much torque on my bike. Looks like u r having lots of fun on your bike. Awesome machine
