I am fast approaching the first flight date for my new to me Vmax, I have several hundred hours in 1100s but this will be my first flight in their bigger brother. The book tells me to expect everything to be about 15kts faster than the lightweight 1100 I used to own. 75mph cruise vs 60mph, 43mph stall vs 28mph. For the first trip around the patch im thinking liftoff at 50, climb at 55, cruise at whatever, and approach at 55-60. do those numbers sound logical?

Any Vmax owners out there who would care to share some wisdom?

Your numbers sound good.  Don't focus on the ASI during takeoff....let the plane tell you when its ready to fly.  Once you're off and flying you can check the ASI to ensure you're climbing at the desired speed.

you flew my Max and this one will be the same...just not with all the wind in your face.
