rip vmax hello rocket!


Where in Arkansas are you located? Welcome to the Rocket family.
 
Welcome to the site from Canada!

V-Max is more powerful and faster than a Rocket but I think you'll love the low end torque that the Rocket offers. Puts a grin on my face any time. Would love to hear what you think about the differences between the two!
 

Huh that's funny.... talked to a guy that owns a v-max he says a Roadster ate his bike alive. He then in turn rode the Roadster and said two don't compare. He said " I wished I had got the Roadster now". Just stating what the man said. I couldn't believe he was degrading his own bike.
 
Mully, the vmax and the r3 are very close,on a race it would depend on the rider, reaction time and who is a better rider, i have owned both at the same time so i can give an opinion without leaning to either side, now, the NEW Vmax is another totally different animal
 
Welcome to the forum. Living in the 'Land God Made For Mototrcycles' probably has you concerned with the handling for such a large bike. I suggest you take it once over Hwy 23 through Euraka Springs and then go down Hwy 21 over the 'Pig Trail' to I-40 and see if you don't have a 'permagrin' when done.
 
All the professional reviews I've read on the V-max have come to the same conclusion - stock V-Max smokes a stock Rocket in pure HP, acceleration and speed.

That being said - I would far rather have a Rocket than a V-Max although would love to have both in my stable.
