Haha, I came to the comments for the same reason!

They sound like a Nascar lol

No doubt $5000 at most.Some moron spends $11,000 for this bike I have a few bridges to sell him

The frame also flexes it's underbuilt for the power.

I realise this is an old thread, but if your vmax wobbled at 100mph there was something wrong with it. I've had vmax's for many years and they're rock-solid until you're going so fast you can barely hang on.

@@577buttfan technically that's correct. In reality the majority of riders wouldn't notice any frame flex, your average rider doesn't take corners like a grand prix racer. And for those who push to the limit, it's all part of the fun.

@@577buttfan absolutely as the Gen 1 frame would flex under the sheer power of the drive train

@64Gianfar hell yeah I felt it when I rode my brother's 03.

Same here man!

That’s because it sounds like a super charged v8

But they're well worth it though

The Venture is a 1300 from a 1986+.

An 85 Vmax was your first bike?! Are you crazy!!!???😂

@@abcanimal I got death wish with this bike. I set my vboost set to on position all the time. now I have vboost through the whole rpm range like a gen 2 from the get go and its surprisingly more predictable then having it go of at 6k. doing that to a vmax is equal to sprocket change on chain bikes if I was to describe how much quicker it is now. also it sounds like a big block v8 Chevy drag car with it running on 2 carbs all the time instead of just one and then running on 2 at 6k. its significantly more responsive now and because of how much it scares me I never bust 100 plus on it unless it was at drag strip because it dont stop or turn for shit at those speeds as well as even stop. it really puts the fear of god in my eyes. I'm on my second year riding it and I can never show too much respect because it demands it for your survival. I don't push mine as hard as most of these guys. it's just too much bike for anyone but at the right price if you can respect the throttle and give yourself extra following distance you will be fine. also it has schecthy counter steering then most of the bikes today. lucky I aced the counter steering in my msf course and people asked me how I was able to throw that little 250 like it was nothing. of course I practice on the vmax with my dads help as he is among the few people to ever beat this bike in a straight line back in the 80s. he used to ride an 84 Suzuki gs1150es with rejeted carbs changed sprocket and a header. the 86 vmax he raced was stock AMD he beat it by only a couple 10ths of a second. hes actually the reason I learned how to ride it properly without ending up in a ditch or something. the way I ride it you wouldn't think this was my first bike. I will admit I'm grateful for the dirt bike and atv experience I had with some friends as well. but i really plan to keep it as long as possible and show my kids one day. it's a real special bike that deserves nothing but love and respect.

@@briankrasne3518Amen brother. All well said.

Kelly and NADA are identical on motorcycle prices for the VMAX.

I have an 1985 and is kind of purple with color lined and pinstriped. I heard that was the original design.

​@@FranciscoGaliciaI have and 85 too. They only made it in 2 colours in 85.... Dark Amethyst and Deep Scarlet. Me and you have the Dark Amethyst (purple)

Probably around $12,000usd because it was a number 1. Average bike that year is maybe $4000? As is from private seller who never gone through it like these guys obviously. I’m looking at a 1985 Vmax up in New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦 with 68,500km and he wants $3000cad! But it needs the paint restoration procedure. Has aftermarket dual exhaust open pipes on it. These guys basically do a mechanical restoration on almost every thing they sell and they get they labor paid for. So if you ain’t mechanically inclined this would be the way to go because it will cost you that in the end if you hired someone
