Yamaha VMX V-Max 1.7
The ultimate power cruiser delivers unmatched
performance and style.
Yamaha VMAX / VMX17 Highlights and Key Features:
Open deck type cylinder sleeves are used for maximum
cooling efficiency.
Detachable C.F. die cast aluminium and extruded aluminium rear sub frame means
easier maintenance access (and a less costly repair if the unit is "looped
out"). Review
We are reminded that the 1985 Yamaha V-Max
motorcycle burst onto the scene as a fire-breathing, liquid-cooled V-4 power
cruiser that had no motorcycling peer. It was, in the words of Mr. Araki, the
Japanese project leader for the original V-Max motorcycle, an "American Hot
Rod."
Straddling the 685-pound brute is effortless as the
30.5-inch seat height is easily manageable, and thanks to Star's fixation on
mass centralization, it takes little muscle to lift it off its sidestand.
Despite a displacement boost of 480cc, the new 65-degreeV-4 is more compact than
its 70-degree predecessor. Like the original, the airbox is in the traditional
tank location,and the fuel tank sits under the seat. All of this is wrapped up
in a new aluminum chassis (frame, swingarm and subframe) with fully adjustable
suspension and, now, a single rear shock.
