The '''[[Yamaha]] VMX1200 V-Max''' was a v4, [[four-stroke]] muscle bike produced by [[Yamaha]] between 1985 and 2003. It could reach a top speed of 120 mph (160 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 86.89 ft/lbs (117.8 Nm) @ 7500 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 137.05 HP (102.2 KW) @ 8500 RPM. | |||

The '''Yamaha V-Max''' was originally designed for the United States, though it achieved surprising success when it was imported to France in 1986.

The VMX1200 V-Max was fitted with a 3.96 Gallon (15.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 577.61 pounds (262.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 62.6 inches (1590 mm) long. | |||

The Yamaha VMX1200 V-Max was a v4, four-stroke muscle bike produced by Yamaha between 1985 and 2003. It could reach a top speed of 120 mph (160 km/h). Max torque was 86.89 ft/lbs (117.8 Nm) @ 7500 RPM. Claimed horsepower was 137.05 HP (102.2 KW) @ 8500 RPM.
Overview
The Yamaha V-Max was originally designed for the United States, though it achieved surprising success when it was imported to France in 1986. It immediately became the favorite bike of the rich and famous along the Cote d 'Azur.
"Urban Dragster"
Style is what the V-Max is all about, with its huge aluminum air scoops feeding its quadruple carburetors and its instruments mounted atop its gas tank. It looks dangerous while retaining a high-class appearance. An "urban dragster" the v-Max combines a wide range of seemingly incompatible qualities. "Awesome" is the word for this liquid-cooled V-4, V-boost, 145 hp power cruiser, fondly called "Mr. Max."
Gentle Giant
A massive machine with a totally-exposed 1200cc V power unit crammed into its double-cradle frame, the V-Max leaps away from traffic signals with a satisfying squeal from its fat rear tire. But it's also a refined street cruiser with astounding fifth-speed flexibility at low revolutions. Further evidence that the V-Max is a gentle giant: even at full bore, the rumble of its two huge chromed tail pipes is far from ear splitting. In these days of low overall speed limits, the VMax has created a new style of superbike, a real leisure machine whose raw power is tamed by all the finesse that modern engineering can provide.
Engine
The engine was a liquid cooled v4, four-stroke. A 76.0mm bore x 66.0mm stroke result in a displacement of just 1198.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin cam (dohc).
Drive
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the wet, multi disc.
Chassis
It came with a 100/90-v18 61v front tire and a 150/90-b15 m/c 74v rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The VMX1200 V-Max was fitted with a 3.96 Gallon (15.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 577.61 pounds (262.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 62.6 inches (1590 mm) long.
