TxVenture Posted October 11, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 11, 2009 Did anyone see the V-Max on Barrett-Jackson last nite?? I think it was Jay Leno's and he had it auctioned for a charity in New York. It went for $120K. Probably because of who's it was and also because of the charity the money was going to. Thought it interesting that it was a metric and not an American made bike that was being sold in such an American setting. Don H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flb_78 Posted October 11, 2009 Share #5 Posted October 11, 2009 http://www.motorcycledaily.com/092909pressrelease7.htm After deciding to part with his brand new VMAX, Jay upped the ante by sending it down to the noted custom-bike designer Jeff Palhegyi. The San Diego-based customizer wasn't fazed by the fact that he only had one week to work his magic. "Jay's only instructions were, 'This bike's going to be bought by an enthusiast, so make sure to keep it rideable.' I know he's into bold, powerful bikes and cars, so I'll be emphasizing those aspects of the VMAX," said Jeff Palhegyi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted October 11, 2009 Share #6 Posted October 11, 2009 It's for a charity, and it's a tax write off. Not only for the seller, but for Leno as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
