You can put all of it into a 1st Gen. Just never know how much of it we got ....

 

 

 

Really I think about the biggest pick-up you can do for the 2nd Gen is swap out the rear gears.

I think if you'll check closer, the 85 and 86 models had the 145 hp. I think sometime later( don't know exactly what year) they were detuned to have only 118 hp! Check out Vmaxoutlaw.com to be sure.

Uhhhhh, how much money do you want to spend??? Betcha we ould ram a 572 Cadilac engine in it somehow...

If you have the $$$ to go to that extreme, you might as well go for the Big Block BOSS HOSS. The engineering is already done. And also, you have a constant reminder of when to change your rear tire...at every fuel stop!

I was mostly just armchair dragracing.....

 

 

Did not want to spend any money on the idea, but if I found a Vmax for a low amout of $ it might be fun.

 

 

I was mostly thinking intake track, heads, exhaust and the rear end from a 1st gen Vmax, oh and the electronics to run the spark.....would be a LOT of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

If I were to spend any real money, I would probally just go buy a Corvette......

The founder of Star Touring and Riding Association had an 02 midnight called Widow. It was custom and had a factory built 1500cc engine that would really run. He never worried about 1st gen bikes. I believe he sold it but I am not sure.
