MOTORCYCLE MARC’S CUSTOM 2007 Yamaha VMax
Hey, got to give credit where credit is due…the Yamaha VMax is one hell of a motorbike. Here’s an update on my MadMaxVMax.
Before the Ape Hanger Bars…My MadMax VMaxBobberLo Project…lowered 2″ with Progressive springs and shocks. New Delkevic Mufflers and Pipes…great sound! Added 14 inch forward brake and gear change controls. Cut off front fender for a clean bobber look. Added engine T-Boost with switch…opens at 3,000 rpm, 6,000 rpm or you can keep it turned off…Added custom LED taillight. New Dunlop fatties front and rear.
Added 12 inch Ape Hangers for additional bobber-style coolness. (El Diablo Brand Bars) Click image to view additional details on eBay…
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.
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

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.
