Yamaha V Max description

Starts quickly, idles right, accelerates VERY FAST, shifts smooth, stops quick, and it simply runs like a well-maintained VMAX should run. Very powerful bike.

Always garage kept. It needs nothing to be road worthy for any short or long trip. Ride it anywhere. I've ridden it all over from Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.

I bought it from the second owner back in 2007 with 13K miles on it. I've been the only one on it since then. Custom paint was already done when I bought it and it's beautiful. It has a wet look to it and the blue has different tones with splatters in it and looks like the yellow/orange is peeling away to reveal the blue underneath. Clear coat shines very nice. No disappointments whatsoever. Flawless, professional paint job was done right and still has a show quality appearance over 10yrs later.

Never damaged/repaired. Never laid down. Never abused. Just ridden.

Tires are in great shape. No leaks. No smoke. Only minor issues I can think of which do not affect the bike is the odometer trip reset knob somehow came out on one of the trips and the top part of the speedometer housing (the part with the glass) came loose. I didn't care about the odo trip knob and I wanted to keep the mileage on the odometer correct so I taped it with chrome tape instead of replacing it. You don't even notice it unless you're looking for it and the odometer has always turned and the mileage is accurate. All of the lights and gauges work properly. You can get 30+ MPG when riding normal. Fuel light comes on when low, so you can go another 30-40 miles when you flip the thumb switch to reserve.

All factory stock except:

  • Corbin seat, with a small rip, but still very comfortable; a huge upgrade over the stock seat
  • K&N air filter
  • Supertrapp exhaust, sounds good

This bike is sold as is. No warranties of any kind. No joy rides. I have a clear Texas title. If you win the bid, please do NOT pay through PayPal; they charge a fee for the seller. The total payment must be paid in full with CASH before you ride it. If you don't have the cash, then please don't bid on it. Thank you.

LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. I will not ship it.

New owner will be responsible for inspection and registration.

This bike is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this listing at any time if it's sold.

Any questions, please contact me through eBay or text or call BEFORE 10pm central time. Earl 713.412.1486

Rainy BSB tests are nothing new

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

THE combination of bad weather in the UK and a European testing ban means that most BSB teams will now start the season with very little track time. This sounds like a disaster for the top teams but history has proved this isn’t necessarily true and it sometimes doesn’t matter how much pre season preparation has taken place.  Back in 2002 Sean Emmett won on the IFC Ducati at the opening Silverstone round after first riding it in unofficial practice the same weekend. Steve Hislop took the other win on Pauls Bird’s well sorted Ducati. More recently in 2009, Leon Camier took an untested new model R1 Yamaha to victory at the Brands Hatch opener after GSE took delivery of the bike just the week before. Sylvain Guintoli won the other race on a well developed, well tested Crescent Suzuki. You could argue if no one has had testing then it is a level playing field but you have to feel for riders moving up to the superbike class in the world’s toughest national series.  Tyco Suzuki’s PJ Jacobson is one such rider but having spent some time with him over the past few weeks he seems to be taking it all in his stride. It may be the confidence of youth or maybe the fact he has won in every other class he has entered in his short BSB career, but I suspect he fancies at least standing on the Superbike podium at Brands (He also does a bit of ice racing which is not dissimilar to the this year’s UK testing).  The testing ban was implemented with all the best cost cutting intentions and if it had been any other year in the past decade all would be well. The teams may be feeling frustrated but the fans should be excited. With so many unknowns, the 2013 BSB opener at Brands Hatch could be the best ever!

Dunlop’s Newest DOT Race Tire: the Sportmax GP-A Pro

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

Dunlop has released its newest DOT-legal racing tire, the Sportmax GP-A Pro. Being the spec tire manufacturer for the AMA Pro Roadracing series gives Dunlop plenty of top-level R&D test riders to develop the next line of tires. Couple that with the company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Buffalo, New York, and the days of grabbing a set of UK tires over their American counterparts is over.
