Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce to you the 2009 Yamaha Vmax (or in the US, the Star). Since its introduction in the 1985, it has quite a following due to its radically-styled shape, powerful, no nonsense 1,198cc, V4, 4 Stroke, 4 valve DOHC engine kicking out 145bhp. With more than 100,000 units sold during its 3 deades of production, this muscle bike has established itself as the definitive cult-bike making history by being included in the Guggenheim Museum 'Art of the Motorcycle' exhibition whilst still in production! There has been nothing in comparison to beat such an awesome bike until now, its very own successor, the new 2009 Yamaha Vmax!
The all new powerful state of the art 1,679cc, V4 engine producing 200bhp @167Nm of torque combined with Yamaha's very own latest electronic engine control technology used in racing, the YCC-I and YCC-T, the new machine is now a radical low profile diamond-type frame, which delivers the right balance of rigidity, excellent straight line stability together with precise sharp cornering ability, all packed in an aggressive and forceful appearence.
True to its philosophy of a genuine hot rod, with such transfer of its V4's incredible 200bhp of power and 167Nm of throbbing torque to the ground from its mega wide 200/5 R18 rear tyre, imagine the amount of effort to hold yourself onto this wild stallion as you grip yourself on its drag bar to stay on the ride. Its almost unbecominging awesome with it guilty of becoming the ultimate adrenaline ride!
Limited to a top speed of 220km/h by a smart system, it still allows a complete 1/4 mile run under full acceleration. Still more than enough to get your blood all pumped after the ride and make you whimper with delight! Made of a completely new advanced thicker aluminium frame, titanium coated dual exhaust, lightweight magnesium covers, huge ABS brembo brakes, Iridium spark plugs, bigger fork and better stiffer suspensions, the new 2009 Vmax not only establishes itself further on its reputation as an awesome straight line performer, but also a much improved slap banger at corners as well!
With the agressively styled hand finished aluminium air intakes mounted on the front left and right side of the dummy fuel tank giving the VMAX a muscular profile, it allows for direct flow of air into the massive airbox twice the volume of the older models, therefore maximising the performance gains associated with the new YCC-I system used in race bikes.
While the true spirit of the original VMAX still remains intact, the new 2009 Yamaha Vmax is an abundance of high tech 21st technology where drools will run forever with a tinge of flavour and a permanent smile that a joker will be trully annoyed of.
