Yamaha V-Max

The Yamaha V-max inhabits a category of its own. Is it a sportsbike, a cruiser, a musclebike? Who knows. All we know is that since it's launch in 1985 the V-Max has polarized the biking community like no other.
With an insanely powerful V-4 engine, shaft drive and monster looks the 1200cc machine never was for the faint hearted. While some criticise the cornering ability and general handling, that's completely beside the point - motorcycles like the VMAX are not about being safe or in control!
