With his intuition and feeling for motorcycles Jean Claude Olivier, director of Yamaha Motor France, pushed very hard to get V-max homologated in Europe. It was again tough for Yamaha engineering to adopt the bike's chassis setup for European high speed road use. In 1986, France was amongst the first countries to introduce the bike. And in the later nineties, French bikers even bought more V-max than their counterparts in America. Still today V-max is a cult bike all over the world and created a category of its own. | With his intuition and feeling for motorcycles Jean Claude Olivier, director of Yamaha Motor France, pushed very hard to get V-max homologated in Europe.
