Yamaha V-Max Hyper Modified by Lazareth
Yamaha has dipped a tentative toe into the custom
waters: its commissioned three top builders to work their magic on the
venerable V-Max power cruiser. The V-Max has been around since 1985, so its
due for a fillipand thats exactly what
Roland Sands (USA),
Marcus Walz
(Germany) and
Ludovic Lazareth (France) have provided. Although Yamaha has
called the initiative Hyper Modified, the mods are relatively mild. Im
guessing the builders were told not to stray too far from the essence of the
original.
The version were looking at here comes from Lazareth, who plays at
the more extreme end of the custom fieldand has a penchant for bolting
superchargers onto his bikes.
Yamaha doesnt go into detail on Lazareths modifications to the V-Max, other than revealing that it has been fitted with an LCD screen with a rear-view video link. Theres no supercharger this timeprobably a wise move, given that the V-Max is a handful as it is. Changes include new air intakes and headlight, a new radiator and chin scoop and tail section, and new exhaust cans.
