Yamaha V Max description

Starts quickly, idles right, accelerates VERY FAST, shifts smooth, stops quick, and it simply runs like a well-maintained VMAX should run. Very powerful bike.

Always garage kept. It needs nothing to be road worthy for any short or long trip. Ride it anywhere. I've ridden it all over from Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.

I bought it from the second owner back in 2007 with 13K miles on it. I've been the only one on it since then. Custom paint was already done when I bought it and it's beautiful. It has a wet look to it and the blue has different tones with splatters in it and looks like the yellow/orange is peeling away to reveal the blue underneath. Clear coat shines very nice. No disappointments whatsoever. Flawless, professional paint job was done right and still has a show quality appearance over 10yrs later.

Never damaged/repaired. Never laid down. Never abused. Just ridden.

Tires are in great shape. No leaks. No smoke. Only minor issues I can think of which do not affect the bike is the odometer trip reset knob somehow came out on one of the trips and the top part of the speedometer housing (the part with the glass) came loose. I didn't care about the odo trip knob and I wanted to keep the mileage on the odometer correct so I taped it with chrome tape instead of replacing it. You don't even notice it unless you're looking for it and the odometer has always turned and the mileage is accurate. All of the lights and gauges work properly. You can get 30+ MPG when riding normal. Fuel light comes on when low, so you can go another 30-40 miles when you flip the thumb switch to reserve.

All factory stock except:

  • Corbin seat, with a small rip, but still very comfortable; a huge upgrade over the stock seat
  • K&N air filter
  • Supertrapp exhaust, sounds good

This bike is sold as is. No warranties of any kind. No joy rides. I have a clear Texas title. If you win the bid, please do NOT pay through PayPal; they charge a fee for the seller. The total payment must be paid in full with CASH before you ride it. If you don't have the cash, then please don't bid on it. Thank you.

LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. I will not ship it.

New owner will be responsible for inspection and registration.

This bike is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this listing at any time if it's sold.

Any questions, please contact me through eBay or text or call BEFORE 10pm central time. Earl 713.412.1486
