I hear ya Whip! I was extremely blessed to have picked it up from an older gentleman with 21,000 miles on it as my first real bike, and I've been cleaning and trying to restore it to like new condition without dropping big money into it. So far I'm almost at 42,000 miles on it with not one issue what so ever, I've gotten lots of compliments on it, and it's fun to shock those on their stock 600's when they think it's just a cruiser and I end up keeping up/beating them. It has Yamaha's Genesis 5 Valve head, and was putting down 90 hp from the factory with 26,600 mile valve adjustment intervals (pretty solid stats for 86). If you're hoping to get one keep an eye on Craigslist or Ebay, there's still a handful that pop up on occasion and can be had pretty inexpensively!

Lol Yeah, they definitely had that nickname because of the similar riding position and the chrome accents at the gas tank on the FZX700 that were reminiscent of the Ram Air induction ports on the V-Max. I've gotten that one a handful of times until they get closer and realize its size and the I4 instead of the V4.

finally remembered about this thread.
Nice! An actual engine temp reading and not just a dummy gauge. Is that coolant temp or oil temp at 192 F?
