About this model
About the Yamaha VMAX
The Yamaha V-MAX is an iconic power cruiser powered by a V4 engine with the characteristic V-Boost technology. The first generation (1985–2007) used a 1198 cc V4 producing 140 hp and introduced the high-performance cruiser concept to the market. The second generation (2009–2016) brought a completely new design with a 1679 cc V4 producing 200 hp, radically elevating the motorcycle's design language. The V-MAX has always been built as a statement: a combination of extreme power, low-slung styling, and the distinctive air intake system flanking the tank.
The V-MAX suits riders seeking an expressive, iconic machine with formidable straight-line performance. The riding position is leaned forward and the second generation is particularly heavy, demanding riding experience. The V-MAX was an influential motorcycle that created an entirely new segment. On the used market, the first generation is affordably priced; the second generation is rarer and more expensive due to limited production numbers.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the V-Boost valve (Gen 1) for correct operation; seized valves cause power loss and require specialist disassembly.
- Check the cooling system for leaks at the water pump and thermostat housing; a concern on high-mileage examples.
- Check the carburettors (Gen 1) for correct synchronisation and float needle condition.
- Check front and rear brakes for adequate stopping power; the high weight requires properly functioning brakes.
- Check riding position for ergonomic suitability for the buyer; the V-MAX is a large motorcycle with a high static centre of gravity.
