Yep, I'm afraid I did :p
Just picked her up today, a 1993 Yamaha V-Max 1200. I thought is was a bargain at $350

Considering my friend paid $600 for his V-65, and it needed ALOT of work, I would say thats a deal :)
He also has a V-45.

I wanted a V65 for a long time, until I drove one. The thinness of the bike and seating height (and I'm 6'!) just didn't jive. The Vmax on the other hand is lower to ground, wider, and faster :cool: .

Clean as a whistle and I have the title sitting on my desk. The sign read "Ex-Husbands's 1993 Vmax, MUST SELL". That'll teach that poor guy to title a bike in his wife's name.

That's funny. Over the summer there was an old lady selling a CHERRY 70' Firebird for $1k. I saw it just as the new owner was pulling it out of her yard :(

That's a great deal. I'd love to have one of those things to tool around town in than my huge Suburban.

There's nothing like a bike. I got it registered today and was able to put 250 miles on it. There's something about having a ton of kick-you-in-the-butt-torque on a cruiser and I really like how it sounds like a SB Chevy :cool:

Kudos for getting the bike at an awesome price... I've been damn near going through withdrawl wanting one of my own... and for the price you got that one at... I'm sorry but I'm going to have to hate you forever...

DUDE I am WAY jealous.The V Max is a bad mofo!
I cannot believe you payed that little for it.
If its in as good a shape as it looks would you consider a trade for a Harley?

I got my bike for a 30 pack of Bud but let's just say it's a little older (and I don't mean in a good way) than that sweet ride.
