I've ridden Warriors quite often.  They're okay; pretty heavy, though.
And I've never consider a Bandit before; old tech.

Not sure.... I've got a couple years to figure it out, though.  The kids need to be older before I start taking passengers and taking weekend rides again.

FJR is definitely not an option... nor a Connie 14 (tried both with her on the back).  I suspect an ST would be the same.

And I have no interest in the luxo barges (funny name) :)
The fuel range on the V-Max is a deal breaker, though... Yuk.

Back to the think tank, I guess.

Well I like the new tech they have, the riding position and the refinements.  I'm trying not to go full cruiser, but it seems that my wife is not interested in 2up on ANY sportbike (even an FJR).

They seem to have SOME curve carving ability, no?  More than an HD or VTX, at least...?

Thinking ahead... the next bike I'd like to get is a V-Max (2nd Gen).

Has anyone here ever ridden one?  Thoughts? Concerns?

Happy days!

"Vander-boy" arrived on June 20th.  We are all very happy to have the new addition to our family.

My riding season is done, so I'll see you guys on the sales threads!   ;D

Those MSR bottles may provide some pretty impressive fireworks in the event of a crash and rupture.

I don't own one, but it's definitely the route I would go for auxiliary fuel.

Haha... sorry to get you ranting right out of the gate, man.

And thank you for taking the time to try and convince me, but I've heard all of that before...  I think I heard somewhere that wearing an Aerostich protects from gingivitis and the fabric can filter water into wine as well.   ;D

My biggest obstacles are the price (and, no my life ISN'T worth that much) and the style (yes, I am that vain).  To me, there are far better options out there.

Welcome.

I've got love for Lloyd, but he lives too far away for us North-siders.  There is a local guy in Fridley that does fine work for not alot of money.

He's kinda hard to find, so call first:

Where is that? I'll haul a camera up/down that way and finally get some motorcycle shots.

Lexington Ave and Lake Dr near Circle Pines.  I just saw one today, even.

On a warm day I see dozens on motorcycles on my commute.  And I only travel 8 miles to work.

There are plenty of people commuting on motorcycles where I am.
