Yamaha V Max description

I have owned this VMAX since 2008, and kept it in excellent shape -- never damaged, dropped, etc. The onyx black with red highlights finish on the fuel tank make this one of the best looking bikes in the VMAX series. All paint and trim is excellent. These bikes are getting harder to find in great shape. This one is a fine example of the original VMAX -- Always garage kept. 

The bike is mechanically perfect and stock. Nothing original removed. Upholstery excellent. Starts easily every time. Clear title in hand.
Mileage: 4,297
Tires: 80% 
Battery: New
Oil and Filter: New

EXTRAS:
Plug-in Battery Wall Charger

The VMAX is at home easily purring down the road and, when you need the power, twist the throttle and you're there! Its compact stance allows it to carve through the twisties, and its power keeps it cruising at highway speed all day. It's the ultimate "do all" cruiser.

It's never stopped living up to its reputation. Achieving muscle-bike status doesn't come easy. Keeping it is hard. Keeping it for over 20 years is nothing short of awesome. The awesome VMAX . The original 1198cc V-4 power cruiser has a unique style, stance and look that's all its own. Everything about the first edition VMAX is unique. From the V-boost fuel system (see details below) to the unique easy access under-seat fueling location, the VMAX always draws attention. VMAX boasts bulletproof low-maintenance shaft drive and heavy-duty components throughout. The original VMAX had a run from 1985-2007.


ENGINE
• Liquid-cooled, 1198cc, DOHC, 16-valve, 70° V-4 engine has no equal in its class, pumping out tremendous, hard-hitting power to make it the ultimate quick-accelerating, high-performance king. 
• Patented Yamaha "V-Boost" induction, a power-boosting variable intake system, force feeds massive quantities of fuel into the cylinders via a servo-controlled butterfly valve at 6000 RPM and above. Produces +10% power boost.
• Four 35mm Mikuni downdraft carburetors ensure seamless, lightning-quick throttle response. 
• Specially designed high-lift camshafts ensure ample acceleration at lower RPM along with legendary top-end for a broad, deep powerband. 
• Specially tempered crankshaft and connecting rods provide excellent durability. 
• Smooth-shifting, five-speed transmission puts that massive powerband to the pavement with one purpose: maximum acceleration all the way to redline. 
• Hydraulically activated diaphragm-type clutch delivers precise clutch performance with lighter pull. 
• Low-maintenance shaft drive provides ultra-smooth performance that's virtually lash-free.

CHASSIS/ SUSPENSION
• Low-slung styling keeps the seat low for great handling, confident low-speed maneuvering and V-Max's unique look. 
• Stout, 43mm front fork features 5.5 inches of travel and air-assist adjustability for fine-tuning the ride. 
• Dual rear shocks feature four-position rebound damping and five-way spring-preload adjustability. 
• Fat, 6-inch rear tire mounted on solid disc wheel hooks up with the asphalt for maximum traction. 
• Dual 298mm front discs with four-piston calipers and a single 282mm rear disc brakes reel the V-Max in.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
• Underseat fuel tank helps balance the bike's weight and provides space for large-capacity airbox located above the carburetors. 
• Fuel reserve switch is conveniently positioned on the handlebars. 
• Fork seal guards help prevent rock and debris damage to fork sliders. 
• Trick-looking, onyx w/shift red flames finish on fuel tank combine with massive-looking faux air intake scoops to give the V-Max the perfect "street rod" look and feel. 
• Wide, thickly padded seat and plush passenger saddle with grab-rail adds exceptional comfort to the incomparable excitement. 
• Handy centerstand for convenience and service accessibility. 
• Compact speedometer unit keeps cockpit clean and simple and offers easy readability of tripmeter/odometer and neutral, high beam, turn signal, low oil and low fuel indicator lights.

Kevin Ash, one year on

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

I’ve lost dozens of friends in bike racing over the years, and while each death was a shock and incredibly sad, I’ve always had some kind of internal coping mechanism that allowed me to carry on relatively unaffected.  Maybe it’s because I was always extremely passionate and committed when taking part in my dangerous sport so was also prepared to pay the ultimate price should things go wrong.  Rightly or wrongly I’ve taken comfort from the fact that these unfortunate racers have checked out while doing something they love.   I’ve also lost a few journalist friends in bike accidents over the years but for some reason these have hit me harder.  The worst and possibly as it is the most recent is Kevin Ash who was killed last January while on a BMW launch in South Africa.  Starting in 2001, over a period of ten years, I was in Kevin’s company on countless new bike launches in pretty much every corner of the world.  At times he was cocky and occasionally irritating but always entertaining with a wicked sense of humour.  He was many things but no one can deny he was a brilliant journalist and his technical knowledge was second to none.  I always appreciated his complete enthusiasm to all things biking as he would ride through any weather on a daily basis to jobs or airports and seemed to always be tinkering with winter projects (mainly Ducatis) at home.  I also admired how much work he got through as he had columns in more than one weekly publication plus all his launch and web work. He was a competent safe rider who was certainly quick enough to evaluate any new bike thrown his way.  Kevin also drove a Porsche but then none of us are perfect!   I looked to Kevin as a wise Owl so not long after I started working with TWO/ Visordown, I asked him on an R1 launch in Australia he thought the motorcycle industry was currently in a good place.  His reply was, ‘we’ve just been flown here business class, been taken by speed boat to our five star hotel under Sydney Harbour Bridge, Yamaha have wined and dined us and furnished us with expensive gifts each day, what do you think Niall?  How times have changed.  On the subject on air travel he once told me, ‘when travelling business or first class it’s not about the pampering, comfy beds or fine dining, the important part is looking smug as you walk straight past all the people lining up at the cattle class check in! On more than one occasion I had food or drink spurt out when Kevin would deliver unexpected one line funnies at the dinner table.

Rumor Mill: Yamaha To Make R400 and R650

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

Yamaha is set to put into production two new sporty bikes — the R400 and R650 —  according to “Young Machine” a Japanese motorcycle magazine. If true, this would fill a huge void in the manufacturer’s beginner sportbike bike lineup. It would make sense, considering the success of Suzuki’s SV650 (which later morphed into the Gladius and is now the SFV650), Kawasaki’s Ninja 650 (ER-6 in other markets), and even Honda’s CBR500R.
