You gotta Love the Rocket

[rayjay]

Okay, my son has a 2012 Vmax and it's a good hour to change the battery....call it what you want but I have other words that can't be used here. All that said its a real pain.

Yep..the FJR had awkward battery access although I read somewhere that it's much easier from mid 2013 on

Thought a palaver (from old western times) was a lengthy discussion.

I don't know how that equates to a lengthy battery change.

Some folks are actually interested in mental lexicon.
Some folks are not poncey, but rather in search of erudition.
Poncey folk ridicule others to adumbrate their own inadequacies.

I counted at least five 10 dollar words in this paragraph.

A pal of mine also has the new vmax the lazy bastard takes it to the shop for everything, but boy is that thing fast out runs a rocket without breaking a sweat.

If wasn't for the palaver with the battery and the size of the fuel tank I would have seriously considered it..as someone else said it's a helluva bike
