==Description==
The Yamaha VMAX, with its drag racer image, has the same liquid-cooled, dual-overhead-cam, 4-valve, 1198-cc V4 engine and shaft drive as a larger tourer, the Venture Royal.
With its special "V-boost" induction, the VMAX generated a maximum power output of 140 hp, a miraculous number at the time of its introduction. Its ability to do the standing-start quarter-mile in 10.3 seconds and quickly reach 150 mph clearly showed the wonderful potential of this bike.
In order to covey a further sense of volume and presence to the engine, a novel approach was adopted of reducing the area around the fuel tank as much as possible, employing a dummy aluminium air intake, and actually positioning the fuel under the seat. An 18-inch wheel was placed in front while the 15-inch dish-type rear rim sported a 150/90 tyre, quite a large size for its time.
Front fork rigidity was improved in later models, and other details were upgraded as well, such as improvements to the brake calipers and improved riding performance, including handling on curves. A model for the Japanese market appeared with the "V-boost" function removed. Those specs offered comfortable urban running through its milder nature. Although the Japanese-spec version was later discontinued, production of export-spec machines is still alive and well. And, even though 20 years has now passed, the power of this excellent design doesn't seem diminished in any way.
The body of the VMAX is styled like a large drag-racer, but its actually quite easy to sit and balance the bike. The original model is said to have lacked braking performance, so 2-pot calipers were added to the front brakes in 1993 and this succeeded in delivering enhanced braking efficiency. With strong acceleration and vibration that's reminiscent of the V8 engine in American muscle cars, the VMAX is never boring, even when used for touring.
Its tight cornering ability is better than you'd imagine, and its quite easy to change directions in an instant. Deceleration is swift, even from strong acceleration, and curves can be taken at a compact and shallow lean angle using lots of steering input. This bike is perfect for recovering quickly out of corners and then immediately getting up to sprint speeds—its forte. That's the Yamaha VMAX, a motorcycle that offers true depth in both its ride and style.
