Here’s what I’ve done to this cool ride…
Superb condition, runs smooth, looks great, handles great, full of power with the classic and famous 1200cc VMax motor. Maintained perfectly, upgraded where needed and comes with top-grade accessories. Shines like new.

Rebuilt clutch master cylinder
New braided steel clutch hose
New steering head bearings
New Fork Seals
New Temperature Sensor

Condition Overall:
Excellent showroom custom style. Cool flames on faux-tank, comfortable forward foot controls, 12 inch Ape Hangers improve handling compared to short OEM bars in my opinion. Bike serviced regularly per OEM shop manual. Garage kept. Never dropped or in any accidents.
Super cool red flames design on the faux gas tank. Added modern K&N Air Filter.
Even the dashboard looks cool on my VMAX.
Introduced in 1985, I’ve wanted to own this first generation muscle-bobber for years. The VMAX became a “cult bike” right from the start and I joined that cult.

The Second Generation VMAX…introduced in 2010…BIG MadMax-style of a bike.
The 2016 Yamaha VMax included major upgrades and improvements…making it even more kick-ass powerful. FYI – the VMax bikes are not for amateur riders. These bikes are serious muscle bikes. Read up on this ride from #TopSpeedReview. PhotoSource: YamahaMotorcycles
The Bottom Line.
My 2007 Yamaha VMax bike has been a labor of love…a dream bike for me. The first generation VMax from 1985 to 2009 was a true rider’s ride. A motorcyclist’s dream of a powerhouse with a 1200cc motor kicking out some 130+ horsepower. I hope you too can enjoy this motorcycle as much as I have had...#RideSafeOutThere.Â

SOLD…To another motorcycle nut like me…October 27, 2018. – MJB
Hi Marc, I was hoping you could help me with a few details. Love the Vmax which I’m guessing you’ve now sold. Could you tell me the size of the Dunlop tyres you fitted and also, were the El Diablo apes 7/8” (22mm) or the 1” bars. I can’t find the 7/8” bars here in the uk.
Many thanks,
Phil
Interesting look for a VMAX. I love it but don’t have the money for toys anymore. The wife says we got to save for retirement. Sure do love what you’ve done with your VMAX though
Love the Vmax. Owned a 97 for 10 years then got too sick to ride so had to sell it. Fantastic motorbike I must say.
