I suggest you to sell your joystick and fly with the mouse... :D

Actually, I was talking about the Vmax they came out with in 1985, it was a big deal back then. They were not the typical cafe bike, more of a "hot rod" than a lean and turn kinda bike. But I see bikes have come along way since then. I wonder how much an 86 vmax can be had for?

Hiya Monk-

Got it last July.  The bike is pure ecstasy to ride but I had to replace my Van to haul the family.  That was quite an upgrade from a 96 Plymouth Voyager to a 2001 Honda Odessey.  My Odessey is costing me a bunch each month. Then a few weeks ago my old beloved 91 4x4  Ford Ranger gave hints that problems were around the corner, so I traded on a Honda Civic.  The gas prices had influence on me trading the Ranger, I assure you. The bottom line is I now have three vehicle payments and I would like to sell the bike.  I will miss it terribly.  I am already going through DT's about my ranger, but then I pull up to the gas pump and I get a little relief when I realize I am getting 34 MPG in the Civic:D

BTW, did I mention that I get around 45 MPG on that Yamaha??  However, generally the insurance will be pretty high for the average guy.  I pay like $570 a year for full coverage on it, but that is in SA where the rates are stupid high anyway.
