Hands up all those who thought it would be a great idea if I had measured to ensure my V-MaX would fit in my shed?

I have had to "extend" my shed into the shed that my kids bikes are in

At least you've got it now though!

Been out for a blast on the beast yet?

OH MY GOD! How cool is VBoost?

It apparently pisses off the following:

Porsche 911 drivers
Imprezza drivers
Golf GTI drivers
Crossfire drivers
Busa riders
Blade riders
GSXR1100 riders

Obviously only until the first bend

Oh - And a couple of my neighbours at 8:45 this morning

err dont mean to sound stupid but what is vboost

is it an electrical or mechanical device ??????

all i know about the vmax is if your under 25 or so its a bugger to insure coz my brother wanted one

It's another cunning Yamaha device, basically there is a gate between the carbs and cylinders that operates at 4500 rpm+ (I think), so then each cylinder is fed by 2 carbs instead of just one. Supposed to elimate the dead time between the strokes or summat, when the carb would effectively be doing nothing - now it feeds another cylinder

Something like that anyway, am sure Plastic can explain it a bit better

Spot on Stu, but it's 6000rpm

I was on the motorway doing 85 at 5500 revs yesterday, twisted the throttle a touch and I thought the clutch was slipping - Looked at the speedo and I was doing over a ton

Remember the powerband of a RD500?

Imagine that scaled up for a 1200cc V4

Wasn't far off!!!

Fookin hell, that's it, I wanna go!!!!

Did look at them a while back (before I got the Ace) but was looking at god knows however many other bikes at the time too. Am sure you know how it is!

I'm not sure it's a "winter bike", but it's definately a summer one - If you are insured to ride anything that's not yours Stu, you are most welcome to come round to mine and take it for a spin

You might not get it back though!!

Stu you got any more space in that garage? You'd never fit it in with all those other things in there.

Plastic you do realise that you'll be walking round like a gorilla soon, V-max riders are always easy to spot, just look for the Mike Tyson neck muscles and the elongated arms.
