I have a '08 14. Brocks pipe, PC, K-N, etc......my brother just bought a '09 Vmax...he hasn;t gotten the break in done yet but should by next week. He has ordered a pipe from UFO and their FI mapping program. We should have it on the bike within 2 weeks or so. We're both looking forward to seeing how they do against each other.
Will probably bring them both down to Bradenton one night. ( We both live on Floridas Gulf Coast, about an hour North of St. Pete). While I've been riding fast bikes all my life, I've never had one on a track. I could use a few pointers when we get them down there. He's never been on a track either.
I'll keep you guys informed as to how they do against each other from varying speeds etc.

Dans14 just let me know when you want to go to Bradenton , i will be happy to help with any pointers you need..I'm in Saint Petersburg just 48 miles from the track.. I'll bring my stock wheel base 09 zx14.. You will need leathers , boots or shoes that cover the ankle, gloves and helmet ... Leather pants are needed anything over 120 MPH ..

If Dan comes down to try out his zx14 and the Vmax we can Video it if they like ...I don't think he is coming to race anyone but just to run the bikes and see what they can do ...He said they have never been down a race track , so i'm sure it just for fun .. Like i said i will be happy to help them with some tips if they need or want help ...

My guess would be the Vmax guys had a reality check or just are not man enough to show up to kick some sport bike ass or loose by a hare

if we dont get this happening soon then the 1st vmaxxer to email me a story about why they should get the jacket wins.
deadline to get the race happening will be by May 15th.
Submissions for why you should win the VMax jacket (must be a new vmax owner) in the event no race happens - May 30th.

Fish you need to read more ... Well allready had the shoot out ...First place zx14 .... Second place Vmax .... Third place 09 Busa ... Hell fish we even posted Videos ...
This Thrusday Night at BMP we are testing a Modded Vmax from the Vmax Guru as well as more testing to Bad_Maxs Vmax .... So the Yamaha Jacket should go to either Bad_Max or Tim ( the Vmax Guru ) And i guess i should get the zx14 prize whatever that is ...I could use a P/C for my 09 zx14 Hint Hint .. The Busa guy came in last so no prize for him i guess .LOL . ( Maybe a Bikeland Tshirt would be nice )..
Stay tuned for Videos and Pictures from Thursday the 30th action as we test what should be the fastest Vmax to date ...

bike has to be ridden by the owner. Was stated earlier. Badmax holds my vote until tim decides to run his bike anyway. I want to see a full test on the Vmaxguru bike by smokin ang vic gotay. I want to see some high 1.4's with that slick and wheelbase.
