New member, New to bikes

#1 Unread post by dodgedude »

My wife as recently acquired a 2003 Yamaha Vmax Cruiser through an estate.

Neither of us are riders and we don't tend to be. Both of us hunt and enjoy our ATV's Im really looking for some information so I can make an informative sale decision and not rip myself off or ask too much.

I look forward to seeing you in the forums, I'll get some pictures and information up tonight.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

The 1st generation V-Max is a really nice, but very powerful, muscle bike. Doesn't handle that great as it uses mid-80s technology, but still quite a legendary motorcycle in its own right.

Do you have a photo of it to better assess it for you?

Take the MSF course, that's what it's designed for...someone who wants to learn but doesn't know how...it's a very liberating pass time!

Later.
