V-Max ,VStar VS Vtx

Hi there,,Road Warriors.. im new to this kind of bykes.. and trying to buy one. the two bykes got me hypnotyzed, and really dont know wich one.. im looking for a 2000,01,02, and of course it depends of how much i want to expend. ..thanks for posting your ideas or reviews.

That sounds to me like 3 bikes.:huh

They are comletely different. The Twins (Vstar or VTX) are cuisers and will have a completely different feel, a more relaxed type feel in both engine and ride, better for cruising.
The Vmax is more of a muscle bike and will have a more agressive hot-rod feel, less relaxed, more reved-up, but you can still cruise. Haven't checked lately, but the Vmax should be the quickest and fastest of the 3.
And as you know, none are great handling bikes.

I just picked up a 05 V-Star 1100 Silverado. I love it. Smoothest bike I have ever had the joy of riding.

Thanks SCience Fiction..ill try one at the local dealer..

I had a first year V-Max. 1985 & put a lot of miles on it ( rear tires too)!
Ahhhh.....The thrill of power & agony of de seat

Ahhh... the SEAT!!! Brings more than a tear to my eyes. After the first 200 mile ride I immediately bought a Corbin.

XMAN... pues depende que quieras que haga la moto, wey. The type of riding that we get in this area is easy going, do you want to go to San Felipe? or come this way for some fish tacos???? any bike will do.

Sit on the bikes for a couple of long 5 minutes (you know Mexican minutes) and see what fits you good, remeber that both the VTX and V-star come in differente sizes, from the small 650 to 1800 cc so get on them and see what fits you.

Si tienes preguntas mandame un PM o email,

Hey mi hermano gracias por responder... t mando un pm

Stopping every 100 miles for gas was a good thing

Hey Shag thanks for answering.. Hey can you tell me the differnce betwen the v-star clasic and tha v-star custom..Thanks..

the Classic has a HD Fatboy feel to it w/ a 16" front tire. The Custom is more like a HD Softtail w/ a skinnier 19" front rim and less fender. Both are available in 650cc and 1100cc and both have shaft drive.

PERFECTO!!!!!
Thanks RAUCH.. for your quick response..

No problemo. I ride a Roadstar...very similar to the V-Star 1100/650 Classic, except 1602cc and belt drive. I remember reading something on these bikes where you have to remove the exhaust to change out the oil filter. I may be wrong on this,....check around on this. A buddy has got the 1100 Custom. Nice bike w/ decent cruiser power. If funds allow, check out the V-Star 1300. More modern V-Star w/ belt drive. If you want an 1100 also check out the Honda 1100 Spirit (compares to the VStar Custom) and the Sabre (compares the Vstar Classic). Also, this series of Hondas are much easier to wrench on than the VTX series. Don't forget the HD Sportsters. Very good bikes in this class.

You should at least look at the Kawasaki Vulcan line for that style of bike. Very well made and reliable.

I have a classic 1100. Great street bike and tourer too.

Yes you do have to remove/loosen the front exhaust tube to change the oil, but it is not a big deal. I am not a mechanic and I did it. I also adjusted the valves - ain't not biggy either. the hardest part is taking everything off and putting it back on to get to the valves. It was fun in a way.

there is so much you can do to make more power with these bikes. they aren't that big but they aren't small either.

check out this forum. more info / discussion than you can handle.
