Dang Thumper..those first year Gen 2 FZ did have horrible FI and Im not sure Yam got it straightened out until 08 or 09. The Gen 1 was such a better bike, much more comfortable, much better range, and the carbs were spot on and smooth....and although you could ride around at 2500 in 6 th, it really did make most of its power from 7K north. I had 2, and found them to be excellent bikes, however when they changed them in 06, they ruined them for me.
I have ridden a Vmax, first year out, and in a straight line it was awesome, but I never took one thru a curve. First bike I ever got tunnel vision on. I always figured it was too fast to turn lol. seating was cramped and if I remember correctly there wasn't much space between seat and foot pegs. Hard to remember though it's been it's been like 24 years lol.
