I did notice that myself after looking at the pics, trying to quash the rising boner. Right handers are far better for me than left's, but I noticed my upper body was staying behind the bars so been altering the position to get more of me out of the bike.
The camera by the way is my girlfriends slr, olympus 410 with a standard lens. Is pretty cool and takes way better pics than my regular one. On saying that though, the pics are slightly edited by Joe to bring better focus/perspective on the subject. ____________________ Sahf East Winnah 4LYF

Going to get new wheels and some piolet road 2's, with that though i think the exhausts may hit the deck so i might need to re think them.
Ive also been offered a set of Ohlins rear shocks for £125 so when i can get some funds together ill be getting them. And ofcourse ill have to invest in a stage 7 dyno kit... Should have enough poke then. My dad happens to have one sitting in his shed so i may try and blag it off him for a birthday present or somthing.  ____________________ ~Sahf East Winnah~

The max is a bit scarey, not because its insanely fast, can keep up with kyle on his 05 GSXR in a straight line, just about, but its the way the powers deleiverd.
6.5k RPM and suddenly the Vboost kicks in and scares the excrement out of you. Its unbelieveably good fun. You have to remember untill this year the vmax was basicly the same bike since 1985...
Could however do a couple of mods and then you would have a rather pokey little machine compared to quite a lot of things on the road. (In a straight line ofcourse)
Handling wise i find it fine, its only a bit more sat up than my old Z750 and i actually quite enjoy it being so heavy because its taught me to countersteer like never before. It does like to shake its head alot, and i mean alot, although some 17" wheels with good tyre will sort that, it wobbles mid corner on sweeping ones and wollows on tight corners... but i find it really fun to ride, its a massivly entertaining bike and will always let you know if you push it too far itll bite back.
I would ask h00dwink to say how it looks when im riding through the corners but hes usually quite a way back.  ____________________ ~Sahf East Winnah~

As far as how the vmax handles, with joe as the pilot he gets it round corners better than you'd expect.
I had a little try just taking it to the top of the road and was shocked at how heav it felt and how hard the steering was. This was slow speed mind, and it would probably be better as you get faster. But it's not the sort of bike I personally would want to go fast on around corner.
The other week we had a relatively large rideout where a guy who is relatively quick on a k8 750 asked joe how he'd be able to keep up. Needless to say joe's riding answered better than he could. ____________________ Sahf East Winnah 4LYF
