Welcome to the page that provides technical information
on one of the best motorcycles in the world.
With over 80 lbs. of torque and 110 rwh/p, the Vmax
is 1198 cc's of pure acceleration. It has plenty of power below
6000 RPM but when the Vboost kicks in....hang on for an arm
stretching ride into the triple digits. Some bikes today are
faster but none carry the charisma and in-yer-face attitude of
the Max.
"One of Yamaha's most original designs, the Vmax somehow creates the impression of a muscular Detroit V8 while retaining the cruising character of a custom bike. The sound and feel are among the sweetest on two wheels. Hard to believe it's been 15 years since its introduction, but there's never been anything else to come along to match it."
