Title: V-Max on the new Ghost Rider movie...
Post by: VirginiaJim on June 16, 2012, 07:15:59 AM
I just watched it last night and he's riding a V-Max now.  It's an upgrade from the custom he was riding in the first movie.  You know, I really like the looks of that bike...just pure mean.  I'd love to try one out but I think I would kill me.

That looks cool! The last movie was pretty good. I always had an eye on the V-MAX. Not sure if I like the new one so much.

By far the worst movie I have ever seen, the rider was a wuss and the story line was horrific. The best bike choice IMHO would be the new Ducati Diavel, and so sad they veered away from the original movie so much. ::)

The acting was atrocious, especially from Nicholas Cage.  I rather liked the bad guy with the white hair, though.  Does anyone know what the other bike the French guy was riding?

Looked like a Guzzi to me.

I saw a new V-max at the traveling bike show not too long ago. I couldn't stop staring at it. It looks soooo much better than the previous model. I think it has something like 176 hp stock!!! with better brakes suspension and is lighter. The only downside, less than 100 mile range (if I was riding it) and $20,000 price tag but oh is it ever a sweet lookin' ride.

The V-Max does not admit discussions: it's da bike!!  ;)
Useless, dangerous, heavy, huge fuel consumption....

...but no other bike like her!  8)

And most of all.... it's beautiful, in every single tiny detail!

It's total quality!

But, once again, it's useless IMO... :-\

The V-max does look very nice! Although, I prefer the Diavel.

Heavy is the first thing that comes to my mind though - heavier than my C14 !  :yikes:

Wish the money tree had not died - otherwise a Diavel would be in my garage.

I'm ABOUT six foot, ABOUT 250 lbs..... V-max is just right for me..... It doesn't feel tiny.  8)

Ducati Diavel rules. That VMax is to go to church, the Ducati is to test radar cameras  8)

I can't believe they made the first one.
It amazes me they made a sequel.
Make stupid again.

Well, they got me to watch both of them, mainly because of the grandson wanted to watch them.  Ah shucks, I wanted to watch it as well.  Can't blame him for that.  Probably some of the worst acting I've ever seen.  It's like a wreck on the highway, I just had to watch it.
