| VMAX - The legend lives on. |
How many motorcycles introduced in 1985 are still in production? The answer is the VMAX...
The VMAX has always been the muscle bike to end all other muscle bikes. The original V-Max turned the motorcycle world on its ear. Our engineers took a big dose of the original "Mad Max" DNA then added a bunch of Yamaha's latest sport bike technologies like our chip controlled variable intake stacks, a new high tech fuel injection system and our famous fly by wire throttle. The result is stunning. The legendary sound, engine character and amazing acceleration are all part of the latest design but there is a twist. The new VMAX offers truly sporty handling, thanks to its new lightweight aluminium chassis and fully adjustable suspension. We even improved rider comfort.
The legend is re-born. Commanding respect, triggering fear. Now, the all-new 2009 VMAX, re-thought, re-loaded, with a major chip on its shoulder. |

The ultimate power cruiser delivers unmatched performance from its 65-degree, four-valves-percylinder, 1679cc V4--plenty of eye-opening, controllable acceleration from a compact engine that looks as powerful as it is.
Downdraft four-bore fuel injection with YCC-I intake technology and YCC-T fly-by-wire throttle provide awesome acceleration throughout the broad powerband.
Lightweight aluminum chassis puts the engine low and forward for mass centralization, resulting in a machine designed to handle curves as well as straightaways.
Borrowing liberally from advanced sportbike technology, VMAX features a slipper clutch, wave-style brake discs, master cylinders, ABS, and complete suspension adjustability front and rear.
Functionality and forward-thinking style uniquely combine with features like oxidized-titanium coated 52mm front fork tubes, magnesium engine side covers, fluorinated polyethylene fuel tank and the organic electroluminescence multifunction display. |
