Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
The VMAX is a long-running legend from the Yamaha lineup. Sure, that massive 1,679 cc V-four has been surpassed by rivals with even larger mills, but this is a muscle bike with DNA that goes back to the 1980s, when there was no replacement for displacement. It has become a cult bike with drones of custom bike builders producing radical variations.
