i've lusted after the vmax for 20 yrs. finally got 1 bout a month ago. does it disappiont? let me put it this way. wanted to show my jap crap hateing harley rideing girlfriend the power. got it to 3000 rpm in 1st then showered down on it. HUGE mistake! saw her feet fly past the handle bars as she did a back flip off the bike over the sissy bar. she use to hate the fact that i insisted on helmets. not anymore. shes germain so i'll end this with mien gott this s.o.b. is bad. LOVE IT!!!
HEY FRIEND, EXCELLENT VIDEO.....GREETINGS FROM VENEZUELA....I OWN A 1997 YAMAHA VIRAGO 750 BUT I WANT TO GET A VMAX.....IN VENEZUELA THESE BIKES ARE SO EXPENSIVES........CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR BIKE.....AMAZING....SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH
Were is that ? Missippi ore Virginia ore Alabama but not in California ore ? Grettings from Bavaria(Deutschland) .Your are best Boys,i like you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After seeing this video,and more like it....I sold my hot rod sportster. I bought a 1985 vmax, from the original owner.The bike is mint and un touched.The bike is just as fun as the one in your vidio.Man these things move!!I like everthing about it. Great video guy,..forget about the BASHERS,...MAX IS #1
Vmax is definitely one of the best bikes ever produced. Two decades later, it still look like newly developed performance bike! (I said 'performance bike', so Harleys do not count). Whoever designed this bike back in 1985 should've been paid w/o any work for life.
Love the Pipes I have the same ones on my 89 max sounds GREAT extra Hp.....Got to love it. I see your rear tire looks like mine....LOL....Sucks had to rig bike jack to remove it due to center stand being removed to take these pipes.
Did you know the cobra slipons (pipes on my bike in this video) are actually restrictive and rob horsepower? They steal about 10hp over the factory silenced pipes.
Get a good full exhaust with headers and all and your gonna gain up to 20 or so over the stock setup. The cobra pipes SUCK. Not only do they steal horsepower but they cause a lot of carbon buildup in your top end and sometimes you can even get too much gas in your oil. I took them off my bike and im running open headers for now. Spark plugs check out a little lean in the midrange so when i get some extra money im gonna splurge on a set of UFO's.
I would LOOOOVE to get an 85 and update it with brakes and the nice wheels and shocks from the modern ones..maybe some clip ons and A pair of 3 inch round HID's.....
For "chargerman06" The 1985 was the 1st year the vmax came out.also the fastest 1st gen,due to having the least emissions restrictions.making it the most desired year for collectors and fighters alike...get an 85 and update the rims/shocks/brakes/ect and you have one bad bike..though if I had one I would 'street fighter' it.All the compeating with sportbikes of 2day is done on the stat sheets few people even have skillz to reach,so I say buy a bike YOU like..So for me,I like V-max and old Z1's
a hayabusa, cool, never see those around. bet you have a german style helmet and ride around in shorts and timberlands dont you. your just too cool man.
the video was uploaded in 2006 and ran fine with no problems until a few months ago when it started looking like a slideshow. Recorded with a good camera at 30fps. Its definitely youtube, and it really sucks because ive lost the original
doesn't matter about the video its still good. your bike runs like a raped ape and you are one crazy mother. I just aquired a v-max that hasn't run for 14 years. got it running again, hope it runs half of what yours does. if it does, i'll count myself lucky.
does anyone notice the video is lagging? like 15fps instead of the 30 it was recorded at? GRRRR, it worked fine for 2.5 years and now lags? Can anyone help me with this? Thanks
losers only but what they can aford. like this goof whos dad bought it . your one bbig fag you goof . tey me in 1985fagit...............................
LOL my dads been dead since i was 17, i worked hard to get where i am fuckface. 23 years old, own my own home, paid off bike, paid off car, paid off boat (piece of shit tho)
just to let you know this is my computer, my little nephews came over and used my comuter to fock with. i never rode a street bike. let you now that this is a very serious breech and they're mother and father and especaily me will take care of it. looks like a very nice bike and seen them all over on hghway u did a good job and it will be VERY WELL taken care of. sorry clintard.
I know a vmax is fast I have drove one and I own A V65 Honda Sabre just as fast as a max Check out my video of my bike 10.6 1/4 mile time I have out ran a max. But A stock Max will never beat a stock Busa Like is said already unless the busa runs like crap or driver can not drive.
Look it up.... Pee Wee Gleason ran a 10.65 on the V65 sabre!!!! But I would not expect a vmax fan to realize that considering they think the vmax was the only Power cruiser from the 80's when in fact the v65 was first and the vmax was slightly faster but nothing a good rider could not making up.
the v65 magna and sabre was the first and fastest production bike ever to do a 10+ second quarter mile. yamaha vmax came out second to the v65s debut. i owned an 85 v65 magna and now a 07 vmax. i like both bikes; the v65's handling and acceleration, and the vmax vboost. both are superior bikes in their own way; depends on the person. pity honda discontinued producing the v65. put a super/turbo charger and it will do what the vmax does; maybe better.
Damn thats its, im getting one now for sure. Any point going for a 2007 or should I try to find a 2005 Anniversary model cause they have a nicer sounding exhaust?!?! Is there any notable differences between 2000 and 2007?? thanks
it seems u dont know much about v-max. look up the stats online sometime. those bikes are fukkkin FAST. its a dual v-twin, that is to say it has TWO 75 hp engines. two...
I guess since I ride mine everyday to work and put 20,000 miles on it, I think I might know something about a Vmax. BTW, make it two 72.5 engines on it.
if your completely inexperienced, then no. But im not gonna tell u not to. Its my second bike, had an 83 cb900 custom before the max. Laid it down in some gravel when my front brake caliper got hot and stuck
You got to love the vmax, but the best bike is the original v4. The Honda V65 Sabre! It is the only reason Yamaha made the vmax! The sabre can run 0-60 in 3 seconds flat and a Quarter mile in 10.6 and has 6 gears I get 45mpg. It handles better because two cylinders are laid down to bring the center of gravity low. I have rode both, and the V65 Sabre is faster low-end and real strong top end. Feels like the vboost all the way to the redline. I like both just the sabre better! Nice bike!!
those electric motor sounds are from the carbs v-max's have a dual butterfly's in the carbs. one inside another. the throttle cable runs the inner butterfly an a motor runs the outer butterfly giving it a 4 barrel effect. when you near full throttle those sounds are from the carb calibrating its position of the outer butterfly
hahaha your right the actual first time i started it i thought i sounded like even more of an idiot than i did on that take so i deleted it and i should have changed what i said lol, too late oh well
thats not aftermarket paint, thats stock paint. they only did this color in 1997, took me forever to find a low milage mint condition 97 for the right price, paid 5800 for it a year ago with 8,000 miles on it, it was all mint condition besides the normal fading of the paint on the heads and the radiator side covers were cracked, replaced that with an aftermarket tho
