G’day ace, love your reviews - thanks very much! Just a correction on the generations: the bike in this review is the first generation which had a smaller v4 engine (1200cc) and the power figures and capacity you quote belong to the second generation. I own the second generation and I can attest to the grunt it pushes out 😊 Not many around and I am not sure which of the two generations is harder to see, they are both quite rare really so it’s great to see a high profile reviewer like you score one. Would be great to see your comparison of both generations one day. Cheers, keep em coming, we're lapping them up!

Loving these classic reviews, I'd love to see you try a 500cc 2 stroke, either Suzuki RG or the Yamaha RD. In my youth these were the bikes we drooled over.

Ah yes. The V-Max. That bike has quite a reputation. Some years ago a friend, quite mad, offered me a ride on his. It had been modified a bit and was quite intimidating at first but I soon got comfortable enough to try the horn button. Pressing the horn opened the nitrous oxide injectors. Doing so in a low gear with an open throttle was a mind-altering experience.

For oldies like me (late 50's) these classic reviews are my favourite part of your already quality channel.

👍for the classic reviews. I owned a Vmax for a couple years, when the V boost kicks in all you can do is hang on for dear life

Great to see you bombing around on a classic,wonderful insight on those older bikes.

I bought my ( carbon edition) new in 2002 and have done 12k miles. It's pristine and I get many offers. It's getting a tad heavy for my 62 year old short legs, but no matter what other bikes I've tried, I cannot be persuaded to part with it. Lovely bike, easy to ride when you own one.

Love these classic reviews. I loved my 1990 Vmax. Fun cruiser for sure and an absolutely lovely exhaust note.

You'r right, you'll never lose any money on a legend machine like that. I really like videos with classic (older bikes). Well done TMF and big thanks!!

Another lovely looking machine, and as you said, looks like it was just shaped from a single piece of metal. Loving these 'classic bike' videos. Thank you superbike factory.

Another great video I think I prefer these classic reviews to your modern stuff although they too are very good.

I've always liked the Kawasaki Eliminator (I think it was the VMax's rival at the time, both built for the American 'Street drag strip' market)... About 20 yrs ago my neighbour had a 750 version in deep red & I thought it looked beautiful and cool!

Forever known here in "The Colonies" as the Mad Max! What fun- and a money-maker for tire manufacturers! 😎🏍

Great review. What an old beast & the Vmax is impressive too. I remember when these came out & they were savage. A proper muscle bike in every sense of the world. It was most definitely the Rocket 3 of it's day & more of a bruiser too.
