ZX14 vs Vmax

So, I met this guy with a vmax. He wanted to do a little comparison. Keep in mind, I'm not much of a drag racer, however, I thought his Vmax was sweet.

Vmax rider: 150lbs
Zx14 rider: 215lbs

Huge weight advantage for the vmax.

Mods listed in the video.

Here's a little music video that I made with different camera angles.

Enjoy!!

Good vids...
You live near that show Breaking Bad, looks same sortta place?

Would have been nice (yeah i know, hindsight is a wonderful thing!), to see how far the Vmax was in front on the second roll on....

Ya, he got the hit. I was at his rear wheel the whole time. I'm sure a skinny rider would have done better both runs. But, I'm not giving up bigMac's so I can be faster than a vmax. Lol

Yea. And 210 HP off the showroom floor. If it weren't so dang heavy, it would give a good race to the ZX14.

Hey everyone, new to the forum. Just got a new black 14R three weeks ago. The bike is great! I also own a gen II 2010 Vmax which is a great bike too. I watched that video and don't what that is hanging out of the side cover......

Very cool...honestly, strong showing from that Vmax!

I think if the Vmax went more than 140 it has some sort of derestricter too...

Honestly, I thought the Vmax would have walked away from me because he had a 65 lb. rider weight advantage and the Max was professionaly tuned. I'm just glad my good old 14 kept up with that monster.

That Vmax is prob 120 lbs heavier than your 14...they are whales!! That being said, great showing from both bikes...and thanks for the cool vid! Something a little different for a change!

No, it's the new swann freestyle hd. It's 150deg view angle at 1080p vs. gopro at 170deg. You don't get the fish bowel look.

It's identical to the gopro. Check it out.

No doubt, those things are fast!!! However, the rider was a twig. If, you put a sack of bones on any bike it will be fast. Don't forget the rider in the video had 65lbs on me. LOL
