1985 YAMAHA VMAX (1985)
1985 is the first year Yamaha made the iconic 145 hp VMAX. Bike is in great condition, has very low mileage 17400 mi (28000 km) leisurely driven mainly on weekends. I am the second owner since 1988 and always kept the bike well maintained and stored in a heated garage during the winters. New fuel pump, new fuel filter, new battery, new oil filter, new ignition coils, new spark plugs, tires very good condition, carbs cleaned and rebuilt like new, SuperTrapp exhaust.2024-06-22 12:50:19Montreal, Canada17,4007,000.00 -
1985 Yamaha V Max (1985)
I bought this bike brand new from the dealership in March 1988 and have only put 17454 miles on it. It has always been garage kept and properly maintained. I still love the bike, but am selling it because I have back problems. I rebuilt the carburetors and brake and clutch cylinders and replaced the original brake and clutch lines with Hel brand lines about 4 years ago. I put an Optima battery in it about 3 years ago (and highly recommend them). The Metzler tires are about 2 years old. The seat is a Corbin Canyon Dual Sport seat, a high-quality American-made seat that is much more comfortable than the original (which I have saved and am including with the bike -- the original seat is in near-new condition). The Corbin seat is black with red welting. I have added a few custom touches on the bike. I am a professional machinist, and I designed and made the scoop grill inserts, the low-profile convex washers that hold the Corbin seat on, and the honeycomb-pattern grilles on the back of the radiator housing. The original grilles and original style retaining rings are included in the sale. Other extras included with the motorcycle are a Tracy Wild One Fairing, in near-new condition; a King Cobra motorcycle alarm which would have to be reinstalled by the new owner (though the light is still mounted just below the tachometer); battery tender; and a bit of leftover oil. There is some slight paint scratching and surface corrosion on the aluminum surface due to the age of the bike -- see photos. It has not been mistreated and has never been crashed. I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. The bike is located in Gaithersburg, MD, about 20 miles from Washington DC, 5 minutes from Interstate I-270. You are welcome to come and inspect the bike.2016-11-14 04:46:06Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States1714000 -

this is a restored 1985 yamah vmax. the bike runs great, looks great and sounds great. people are always checking it out when driving by or parked. has a custom paint job...except for some small things, we really tried to bring the bike back to its former glory. the speedometer is not the original one, i had to buy a used one so the mileage is not correct. i have had the bike for about 2 years and put 6000 miles on it. when i say that it has been restored, the cases have been split and we replaced bearings, went throughout the entire engine and made sure that it was sound.2013-09-05 13:53:51Dryden, Michigan, US62,0003,000.00 -

How To Use A Motorcycle Helmet Communicator
Wed, 05 Feb 2025Stay connected even when you’re trying to disconnect It used to be that we would hop on our motorcycles to disconnect from the world and find peace and serenity out on the open road. But now with our interconnected world, some of us have no choice but to stay tethered to the technology gods – even while riding. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing; being able to call a friend from the road, get directions piped into your ear, or listen to an actual soundtrack in addition to the one from your exhaust note all make riding more enjoyable.
KTM Sells MV Agusta Back to the Sardarov Family
Fri, 31 Jan 2025Transaction in the “mid double-digit million” euro range MV Agusta is returning to the control of a wealthy family that had previously owned the Italian brand, shortly after it had been purchased by a larger motorcycle company. If that sounds familiar, it’s what happened when the Castiglioni family regained full ownership of MV Agusta from Harley-Davidson back in 2010, after the American company had purchased it from the family in 2008. Fast forward to 2025 and history repeats itself, this time with the Sardarov family regaining 100% control of MV Agusta after KTM exercised its option to gain a majority stake just a year prior.
Limited Edition Vespa 946 Snake Celebrates Lunar New Year
Fri, 17 Jan 2025Vespa probably isn’t the brand you’d think would be celebrating the Lunar New Year and honoring the Chinese zodiac, but for the third year in a row, the Italian brand has done just that with a limited edition 946 scooter. The 2025 Vespa 946 Snake comes after last year’s 946 Dragon and 2023’s 946 Bunny as the third entry in the brand’s Lunar Collection. We can probably expect the collection to expand over the next decade to complete the Chinese zodiac’s 12 animals, with a Horse-themed model for 2026.The 946 Dragon came in a muted golden color with a bold green dragon graphic on the front shield, while the 2023 946 Bunny had a more playful look, with a lime green color and a cartoon rabbit on the shield.
