1999 Yamaha V-Max

Highlights

  • Only 21,000 km from new
  • Full power Canadian import
  • In current ownership for over 22 years
  • Completely unmodified example
  • Advisory-free MOT until July 2026


The Appeal

The Yamaha V-Max is a legendary muscle bike. Inspired by the gigantic American muscle cars, this intimidating bike was conceived and designed in the USA, and rumour has it was inspired by illegal drag races back in the golden age of the big hood-scooped chevvys. It quickly redefined performance motorcycling when it was introduced in 1985, and continues to be subject to an enormous fanbase thanks to its brutal acceleration and imposing presence. 

This particular 1999 example offers a rare chance to acquire an unmodified, low-mileage V-Max that has been cherished by just two owners from new. Having spent the majority of its life with the current owner and always stored in heated garage conditions, this full-power Canadian import is ready and waiting to get its new owner's adrenaline pumping!
