2006 Yamaha V-Max
Liquid-cooled, 1198cc, DOHC, 16-valve, 70° V-4 engine has no equal in its class, pumping out tremendous, hard-hitting power to make it the ultimate quick-accelerating, high-performance king.
Patented Yamaha “V-Boost” induction, a power-boosting variable intake system, force feeds massive quantities of fuel into the cylinders via a servo-controlled butterfly valve at 6000 RPM and above.
Four 35mm Mikuni downdraft carburetors ensure seamless, lightning-quick throttle response.

Handy centerstand for convenience and service accessibility.
Compact speedometer unit keeps cockpit clean and simple and offers easy readability of tripmeter/odometer and neutral, high beam, turn signal, low oil and low fuel indicator lights.
All
The original 1198cc V-4 power cruiser has a unique style, stance and look that’s all its own as well as an international fan base.
Bulletproof shaft drive and heavy-duty components throughout.
Chassis/Suspension
Low-slung styling keeps the seat low for great handling, confident low-speed maneuvering and V-Max’s unique look.
Stout, 43mm front fork features 5.5 inches of travel and air-assist adjustability for fine-tuning the ride.
Dual rear shocks feature four-position rebound damping and five-way spring-preload adjustability.
Fat, 6-inch rear tire mounted on solid disc wheel hooks up with the asphalt for maximum traction.
Dual 298mm front discs with four-piston calipers and a single 282mm rear disc brakes reel the V-Max in.
