Not to change the subject, but is it possible to wheelie these bikes? They obviously have plenty of power but the weight and long wheel base doesn't look very conducive to it.

This was not long after I first got my 09 Vmax. Been doing it for 9 mo. now

Ah- the famous "Womenizer" video!

A friend of mine seen both my Gen1 and Gen2 bikes and is now going to get a Gen1 due to cost outlay. It will be his first Max. He has started researching info on them and said to me the other night that he couldn't believe the new 09 would wheelie like it does.

I asked him where he seen that. He said on You Tube. Myself not wanting to miss anything asked him was it taken from a car with "Womenizer" playing in the background? He said Yes .. I just laughed!

Looks like your famous now!

Thanks for all your support with this site and really getting into the new Max the way you do.

That wasnt the car radio playing that. When ever B starts Bad_Max that music just starts playing from the heavens.

Do you have to sit way back on the passenger seat? Do you have to clutch it? It's a little hard to tell in the video.

That video, yes I used the clutch, but once you get rid of the catalytic converters and open the airbox, it powers up much easier There's no sliding back in the seat

wheelies... get it up to about 6k in 1st close the throttle then open it up all the way (do this very fast) and the front should lift with ease
