I was in the same boat as you. I couldn't decide until I sat on a Max. It has a much more commanding presence and when you first sit on it you know there's some serious power beneath you. Vrods are sweet looking but there's just no comparison to a Max. Go Max. You won't regret it.

Welcome and just get both. Then you can not get the crap from the HD folks and then Blast your way though life in the fast lane~~~~>

Welcome to the site J.S.

I put money down on the Vmax 5 months before its release, 3 and a half years and 50,000km later, not one mechanical problem, and definitely no regrets. Still has me giggling like a school-girl each time I get on and go somewhere.

Too many V-rods around as it is, Get the V-MAX.

Pokey.
