It was 1st June,there was no cloud in the sky.
I drove my V-max as usual (not so fast ,not so slow), when the accelerator offed, I heard
such awful sound which I never heard like BOOON.(not so big sound ,but I could hearit easily with a helmet.)
I could run as quite normal , but still sounds came out .
When the clutch offed ,the sounds came out .When the accelerator on - off with centre
stand,it never come out. I could not understand what was happened,so I went to YSP central TOYAMA.
It was breaking drive-shaft !! But a mechanic never understand why V-max ran as normal in such a situation , me either .
It has not fixed up yet ,so I don't know how much it costs. But it would be approximately80,000yen.

VERY VERY FAST! no one can beat V-MAX signal to signal(except ZZ-R1200,GSX-R1100 AND POLICE)
STYLISH ! It has past over 10 years,but it is still goodlooking.
V-MAX EATS A LOT OF GASOLINE ! It runs 8km / liter. That's same as car what I used to have BMW 320i(in the city)
It runs 15km / liter in highway. Because of a fuel tank capacity (15 liter),it's slightly inconvenience in long distance drive .
VERY HEAVY ! Because of the nearly 300kg ,when it throws down, can be damaged anywhere.(could be broken the steering bar) And a driveshaft makes you exhaust when you push this monster .
It's very hard to speed up,cause of no covered machine .
Someone wants to contest signal to signal.(V-max is thought that it is the fastest bike .
