Yamaha 2006 V Max Vmax Motorcycle Cruiser Bike on 2040-motos

Yamaha V Max description

I have owned this VMAX since 2008, when purchased from an older gentleman with just a few miles on it. The VMAX is 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 -- ridden easy and put away right by older rider. Always garage kept.

The bike is mechanically perfect and stock other than noted extras below. Nothing original removed. Upholstery excellent. Starts easily every time. Clear title in hand. Bike is also for sale locally.

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.
