Yamaha V-Max and VMAX
The Yamaha V-Max, called the VMAX since 2008, is a cruiser motorcycle made by Yamaha since 1985, known for its powerful V4 engine, shaft drive, and distinctive styling.
==History==
The V-Max was designed by Atsushi Ichijo in a team led by Akira Araki with input from Ed Burke and John Reed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://blog.yamaha-motor.jp/2013/07/20130725-001.html )〕
Upon its release in 1985, the V-Max garnered instant critical acclaim and earned the title "Bike of the Year" from ''Cycle Guide''. Sold both in Japan and abroad, the V-Max was sold with only minor modifications from the 1985 model year until the 2007 model year. The V-Max was noted for its quick acceleration, but was also criticized for its poor cornering ability and soft suspension.〔(''Motorcycle Online'' Muscle Bike Shootout )〕〔(''Motorcycle Cruiser'' 1999 V-Max article )〕〔(''Motorcycle USA'' 2004 V-Max article )〕
Until 2008, the original V-Max was offered for sale through the Star Motorcycles division of Yamaha Motorcycles. Apart from a minor freshening to the bike's specifications in 1993, when the bike gained a larger-diameter fork to minimize high-speed wobbling and drift, four-piston brake calipers, and other handling and safety related upgrades, the 2007 V-Max was almost the same as the original 1985 version.〔''Motorcyclist'' March 2006 issue p. 89 Primedia Inc.〕
