I thought about the V-Max but to tell you the truth, and this may sound stupid. I'm afraid that they have engineered all of the character out of the bike. I owned an '88 and totally loved it! It's a close tie between that bike and my '01 GSXR for my favorite bike of all time. The old school V-Max was just gnarly to ride and required complete throttle control ( and a complete lack of sense) to ride fast. I about shit my pants several times on that bike but I've never had a larger or stupider grin on my face since.

no idea, but i still think it'd be fun to try out and if i didnt like it it would flip for enough to snag a new zed ten with mods. win/win in my book

Nobody wants to trade for my 17 year old star covered FZR?

Honestly...I am too scared to even ride my husband's bike so as much as I would love to TRY a 1098 (or any Ducati) I would be too scared.

Don't be skeered...

The only thing to be afraid of is getting addicted to the pasta crack.

And if you gave me the keys to your FZR, I would totally ride it!! I miss my old F2.. that thing was the bomb-diggity.

I'll just name what type of bike I'd like to ride besides my own.

09 R1

Ducati 1098 and 1198

Buell 1125

MV Augusta

Harley V-Rod

That's about it. I've ridden most other bikes I'd be interested in riding or at least what I can currently think of.

Oh yeah nhgunnut's Turbo Hayabusa was fun to ride...I'd like to ride it again.

His Ducati 999r was cool too but I actually enjoyed the Busa more.
