I am picturing Jim Carrey...and the basketball scene from "The Cable Guy".

Let me be the first to volunteer to race against any VMAX in the local DC/MD/VA area. From a dig or from a roll. Tail cam will be mounted directly behind the rear facing binoculars.

" I fully understand. Its 6 & 0 right now for the idiots that screwed with the VMax . The latest casualty was a gxxr1000 with a kid on it that caught me sleeping. He came up from behind me all hunched over his bike and race ready.. As he passed me I was in 3rd gear and he wasn't, so I dropped to second (instead of first) and it kinda bogged. Meanwhile his gxxr1000 all pimped out was screaming real loud, and I had to play catch up. He had me by 3 links as I dropped the hammer and tried to stay with him. Max was taking care of business, because I'm old, w/slow relexes and he got the drop on me. I twisted the wrist, knowing Max would never let me down, and he gave me his all. That little guy was quick on the gxxr, but Max started to come on strong. The 3 links he had on me started to disappear, but this was not gonna be easy. Now the urgency was starting to show as I realised this could be my first loss. I tucked behind that windscreen, and said "Come on Max, this should be easy for you. Help me out Max", and he did. I shifted to 4th and the 3 links was still there. All of a sudden it was 2 links, and Max said "we can get him. Just hold on and keep it wide open". I did as Max instructed, and in seconds we were leaving him. Glancing down at the speedo, it was climbing ever so quickly. 120, 125, 130 and finally at 136 in 4th, Max said Buh Bye to the gxxr, and my sorry fat ass was saved by the Black Knight, known only as Bad VMax . Another one bites the dust, inspite of this old mans slows ass reflexes, and his over weight inability to move quick enough, and get the jump on this chump. Now it was Max ahead by 3 links and growing, when a traffic light appeared before us, turnng that menacing yellow, then finally red. I raised both my arms in the air, outstretched in victory, as I slowed to make the red light, no hands on bars. He was too embarrassed to even pull up next to me at the light & quickly got in the left lane & turned. "Whatsa matter? Max got your tounge?" Another 1 bites the dust, that I had wondered if it was salvageable at all. Thanks max, you ROCK! In Max we trust What a phukn RUSH! Adrenalyne to the MAX!
Score so far? 6 and 0, Maximum advantage

Well, even though the guy is a tool...the bike sounds pretty good. I'm glad they didn't ruin the V-Max sound. I bet it will sound great with an exhaust change...

Damn, that video has all the makings of a "Gone Bad" title...
No helmet/gear, parked cars, water on the side of the street....this fella is a tool. His next video could be a real "hit". Hit a parked car that is.....

That's for sure! Tires might be the last thing that he's gonna need to invest in... I'm thinking more on the lines of a good "Plot". Sure hope he wises up before it's too late.

damn, I bet there was some awesome weight savings on that carbon fibre max... It's probably down to about 4 1/2 tons now.

Even with that costly carbon fiber and a full exhaust i don't think you could get more than 30 pounds ....I looked the New Vmax over pretty close and you are not going to find a lot of weight savings .. Even with a 30 pound weight loss you are still looking at 650 pounds without rider ... My 06 zx14 is down to 505 with a gallon and a half of fuel so you will still be at 145+ pounds over the zx14 weight ...
