But my son let me ride his new V-max the other day, and boy all I can say is what a beast. Massive amounts of torque & horsepower everywhere, never lacking for nothing. When I got back on my bike, in felt aneemic.
Make a note: (never ride a more powerful bike than your own)
Especially a 200hp V-Max. Not that many bikes around with that kind of power. It'll make most everything else feel anemic...
I take mine to the red line everyone once in a while to stretch her out a little, but most of my riding is below 75mph, and usually between 2k-5k rpm. I'll admit riding her once to the max speed. Wow, it does tap out right at 112mph. This is the fastest bike I've ever had, and it is way plenty fast, border line too fast for me. I have to constantly watch the speedo, and I'm always finding myself in need of slowing down rather than the other way around. It's the perfect bike. She is neither a Toyota Camry, or a Ferrari, but for sure a nice Corvette. I'm happy with the Corvette. Anything beyond that would way exceed my riding skills.
