"When you're this big," the candy bar advertisement goes, "they call you Mister."�

The same could be said of Yamaha's V-Max, a 1200cc monster motorcycle.To claim Mr. Max was ahead of his time would be an understatement. It was 1985 when he first rolled off the assembly line, all engine and exhaust pipes and attitude. He went through a rough period in his adolescent years; monster horsepower made for more than a few tragedies as new riders came to grips with the powerful machine. But he weathered the storm and today, Mr. Max has achieved legendary/ cult like status.The V-Max has always been a straight-line powerhouse; a V-four, shaft-drive surface-to-surface missile capable of scaring the ever-lovin'-bejesus out of you with a simple twist of the throttle. Type "vmax" or "v-max" into your favorite internet search engine to learn more about this incredible machine.
