Hi, new UK guy here. Just bought my first Vmax (2001 full power Canadian import 18k km) and picking up this coming Saturday. Always loved the look and rep of the max but never got round to getting one (too many friends with sports bikes). Looking forward to opening her up that first time. Will probably customise a few bits but don't want to overdo it - anyone know any good uk sites for parts etc. (got yambits and exactrep saved in my favourites so far).

Hey guys
My name is Denci i’m in Las Vegas I picked up a 1998 Vmax that is 100 percent stock that has been sitting as a display for the last 14yrs.I have been wrenching on anything with wheels since I was in junior high school back in Oklahoma. I’m currently in the process of getting this amazing machine back to its full glory so I’ll be picking the communities brain from now on. I have to agree with Scratch that there isn’t as much info on the net for the Vmax as I would’ve thought but very happy that I came across this forum looks like a great community.

Hi all. Oneal here from Dubai, UAE. Been a member since December, when I purchased a ‘92 Vmax. Was mainly learning more of the bike thru this group which has a lot of helpful inputs to the working and maintenance of the bike.
I have wanted to own a Vmax since I was a teenager back in India and in 2008 I came very close to picking up a brand new one , but Yamaha had discontinued the Gen1 and had re-launched the Gen2, which was way too much for my pocket then. Settled for a FZ6n instead.
Now I finally picked my Vmax and am totally loving it. Needs a little more TLC and then it will be perfect.
Thank you all for your inputs and advice. And love to read more of it.

 

[user 16790]

hello, that's a great picture

 

[Radioguylogs]

I agree.

It looks like a place you would ride 100MPH.

 

[Oneal Cutinho]

Oh yes. One of those roads without a radar/camera. Most bikers come here to check out the capability of their bike in a straight line

Hi all,
I'm John from South Africa, Johannesburg. I have just bought a 1989 VMAX. It has some issues so am making it a project.
We are just about to go into national lockdown as a result of the corona virus so I guess I will have plenty of time to work on the bike.

 

[user 16790]

hello, hope you all the parts you might need while in lockdown

HI Guys
Bob Vmax from New Hampshire. got first Vmax in 1987 ? The red 85 Vmax put 40k of fun on it. then a 95 put 50k, now got me a 86 put 18k,
Everybody says the 85 was the fastest.
Pretty hit 140 mph on all of them.
I tried to bury the speedo on 95 on the way to Stugis hit over 145 mph but things were gettin blurry, then my survival instinct kicked in. The 95 Vmax still had more but I did not.
Would have been a corny end in a field
Still got all the bad boys
ROCK AND ROLL
