Yamaha VMAX
During the late 90s Yamahas VMAX project team started to work on the rebirth of a legend. The team understand just how special the original VMAX is to its owners as well as those fans who admired the bike without ever riding one. The project team identified a set of four goals that would enable them to create a worthy successor to the legendary original model.
- Awesome acceleration feeling together with strong performance
- Distinctive, precise and sharp handling
- A sophisticated chassis with unique bodywork
- Compliant to EU3 regulations
With these main aims in mind, the development team have created an all-new powerful state-of-the-art 1,679cc V4 engine providing 200 PS and 166.8 Nm of torque combined with Yamahas finest and latest electronic engine control technology such as YCC-I and YCC-T. Weve also created an all-new low-profile diamond-type frame, which uses the engine as a stressed member in order to deliver the right balance of rigidity, which makes for excellent straight line stability together with precise and sharp levels of cornering. All packed in a head-turning and forceful appearance.
Owners of the original model as well as newcomers to the VMAX world can be sure that the new VMAX delivers an unforgettable combination of innovation and acceleration.
The new VMAX stays true to the philosophy of the genuine hot-rod. Imagine yourself gripping the drag bars and feeling the mega-wide 200/50 R18 rear tyre transfer all the V4s incredible 200 PS and 166.8 Nm of throbbing torque to the ground its got to the ultimate adrenaline ride. We are proud to say the VMAX is back!
