Man I had an H1 back in the day of my four bikes that was always my fav. just hearing it fire up brings back great memories. 0-60 in about 3 flat if I remember.

In post #61 I stated that I think that the VMAX is the two wheeled equivalent of the Viper. Apparently Motorcyclist magazine is reading our threads. The April 2015 issue just arrived and inside is an article titled "The Deal with the Devil", which is a head to head test of 3 power cruisers. They use automotive metaphors to describe the bikes. Quote: "If we had to give Star's VMAX a car metaphor, it would be something like a Dodge Viper - ridiculous, outlandish, totally in your face about its performance capabilities."

Since I have both a Viper and a VMAX I wonder if I have a character flaw that draws me to these type of vehicles? Nah, on second thought, I think it is completely normal.

How well does a VMAX takes a corner?

How well does a VMAX takes a corner?

Funny you should ask, according to the test riders in Motorcyclist: "Unlike the ill-handling last-generation V-Max, this one backs up its insane motor with a proper chassis and brakes."
"So, of course, the first thing we did was point it at the twistiest road we know."
See the write up to see how the story ends. Hint: It ends just like a lot of Viper comparison articles, i.e. it dominates the competition yet finishes second...
