    Daddyracer, have you seen any Yamaha vmaxes run the quarter? The first generation vmax was supposed to run in the tens in standard trim, at least with an experienced quarter mile rider

    there was a fellow back in the mid to later 90's running a V-Max  by the name of Steve Riemer or rimmer i don't think i can spell his name proper it was a while he was sponsored by Modil ! when it 1st came out , from memory i don't think he did hit the 10's  they were a heavy bike with shaft drive i think , i havn't seen a later one out there for a while a good  lightweight sport's bike will beat them ,

    iv'e been the Surfer's racetrack back in 1975 big drag race meeting i remember,  you can race or not i prefer to race  it give's me the BUZZ i need in life there's nothing like racing a good fast motorcycle  it's like having good SEX ,  sounds like you should go for a good  fast ride & clear the cobwebs out ,

    I am really keen to see what the turbo FXR will do down the strip, but there's not a lot on offer in Vic....or maybe I'm just not in touch with it all.

    Got the bike dyno'd at Frasers yesterday and it has 101hp / 108 tq

    Next service it will get dyno tuned but that's it, if I still want more power after that I'll stick a 120r in it

    Mrjpcooper I got the 120r in my bike. It doesn't make much more torque than yours. Had I had my time over I would not have bought the 120r. I would have taken the motor out and taken it to one of these blokes here on the forum who build performance motors. With the money I spent on the 120r I would have had much better result.

    Thanks HogBag for the advice. had others say the same. Saving for pipe and better tune. The harley shop was to afraid to play with the tune to much. I think I paid over $300.00 for a download. I still think I would have had a better result had I know of some of these blokes on the forum before I spent all my dough. I'm on my third try with pipe which has wasted money. Still not sure which way I will go with that still. I think if I had of thrown 8,000 at the 103 with these guys I would have had a real tirer fryer. Bike goes well all I'm saying is I would have done it differently in hindsight and will when due for freshen up.
