I used to really, really like V-Maxes... and then I rode a standard one. Eek! They really don't handle very well as standard, and not as fast as I'd expected either. But they have always looked cool, especially when modified.
Unfortunately, most of the modified V-Maxes in the UK have the same mods, and therefore all look very similar to each other, so the Maxes pictured above are a breath of fresh air. the Evil Relikt bike (that I saw at Figherama) is VERY modified indeed, the more you look the more you see, every single part is changed from standard. An excellent bike - just a shame it's black...
