By unbiased I mean a test done by someone like Cycle World ..

Hello all,
To make a long story short, I went racing this last weekend, for the

Vmax vsFazer
I was driving down the highway at work today and started to think about

to the Vmax. What really caught my eye about this bike the "very" first

What is envolved in flushing the anti-freeze in my Vmax ? I wanna

coolant and put new in.(gonna use the Pro Honda HP coolant)
I'm looking at my service manual and it says to remove the radiator

Has any one found a better headlight? BRADFORD

When I first bought my used 94Vmax I was amazed how poorly the stock headlight
worked on "high beams" ...while using the high beams I had a giant black area
directly
in front
I always remove the rubber plugs when I flush mine, and get quite a bit
of the old coolant out of there. Like Dan said, you may not need to if
you flush it real good with water, but it doesn't take long to do, and
you can be more confident you've got it all. Of course, even with the
