This was my first street bike ride in over 10 years since I sold my last bike, a 750 Yamaha Maxim X. V-Max 1200 is a sweet ride, loved the torque and it handles well for a 140 horsepower bike, this one has a sweet sounding holeshot exhaust, custom mirrors and teeny weeny turn signals. Sure brought a smile to my face riding this hot rod. I brought it back with zero carbon left, blew it all out the exhaust and no tickets YAY!
