I am thinking about selling my VMax and buying an 05 Sprint. Does anyone know the published performance specs on the Sprint..0-60, ET, Etc.? I rode an 04 demo and liked the bike, but thought it needed a few more ponies, so the 05 has my eye now.

Thanks

Ya right.

VMax= Bar stool to Bar stool.

St = Long distance High preformance tourer.

Potatos + Apples.

The Vmax and the Sprints are just discernible in their applications. Built for different purposes.

Didn't want to turn wills off but, if he is looking for a dragster then the Rlll is it. Plus, it handles pretty good too for a big bike. There are a lot of bikes out there, just pick one that spins your crank.

Now Now Mr. expert rider. :whoops:
The Vmax is a great tourer, have ridden it for 37,000 trouble free miles. I have come to the conclusion that a great bike is only as great as it's rider. :-x

Thanks for the stats, those numbers are very impressive. I wonder how it will run with a low restrictive exhaust and tune boy setting?
