i rest my case.......
When you lose control at 160 which results in your losing the ability to use your legs.....then come back and tell everyone how fun it is.
to say you don't care about the law and that 160+ is fun, takes no skill and anyone can do it......what a load of tosh.
you're probably the sort that moan about cars knocking people off their bikes .... and wonder why it happens when you drive like a ****
what is the difference between 130 and 160 ??
if you come off at either speed you're screwed, it's just a matter of how far your bike slides down the road after not how safe the speeds are.
Yam have made the chassis of the new VMax much more capable of handling the power as opposed to the old one which literally twisted under acceleration.
saying that i wouldn't want to be doing over 140mph on a bike that weighs 320KG and then expect to stop quite quick. Also if you saw the release of the VMax you would see that it's designed as more of a Drag bike where 130mph is useless. very very few people are going to take a VMax round a track but quite a few may end up using them in Drag races on air fields and the like. Because it's a powerful bike doesn't mean people will do them speeds.
