Bandit 1200 Verses V-Max

[gyrogearcrunch]

So anybody know which would win in a straight line race, the V-65 Magna or the V-Max? (All variables considered equal)

Easiest way to settle the "Rider Skill" question is to make three 1/4 mile runs on both bikes, then SWAP riders and do it again.

Stock bikes, the VMAX is going to win every time, hands down.  They just aren't that close!

yeah but lets see what v4 bikes can do in the twisties and even the big eliminator!!! i don't know how anybody could get beat on the eliminator nothing leaves as nice as it does. WFO let the clutch fly when it get done spinning shift 2nd can't do that with a v-max and if u want really want to embarrass them do it on a 600 eliminator won't take them on top but it will in a block to block race. been there done that but my wife hates it when i beat on her bike like that

I agree, stoplight to stoplight, the ZL900 is pretty tough to beat, but both the V65 and Max will catch it in the quarter mile, as will the 1200 Bandit..........I just got my Bandit running good and it pulls like a freight train!   I just love the older bikes, nostalgia I guess, the Bandit is nice, but just doesn't "do" anything for me.  It's for sale in the classifieds if anybody in the Dallas area is interested!!!!

i don't think any of them will run down my bandit but mine ain't stock. i like the old bikes too got a house full of old Kawasaki but none of them have what the bandit got  BTW if u need any parts for that zl900 let me know bro-in-law got like 5 of them
