1999 Yamaha 1,198cc V-MAX Registration no. T856 KNT Frame no. JYA2WEE07XA075680 Engine no. 2WE-075600 Few motorcycles attain cult status as soon as they are announced. Introduced in 1985, the liquid-cooled, 1198cc, 70-degree, double-overhead cam, 4-valve, V4 Yamaha V-Max is one of those rarities but given the fact that it was conceived as a street-legal dragster perhaps that is not so surprising. 'Ballistic Muscle' was how the UK's Bike magazine entitled its first road test of the 143 horsepower monster, declaring: 'When it comes to straight-line street rods, the V-Max is It.' What we have all forgotten is that Yamaha already had a big V4 motor in their Venture model in 1985, an almost soft touring bike. The genius came in conceiving a 'torque monster' naked bike that was all 'force and little finesse', not that anyone objected, which hesitated at turns in the road, going in (inadequate brakes) and through (flexible chassis) but coming out was all about acceleration. In the May 1985 issue of Cycle World they wrote, 'When you cruise the streets on a V-Max ... you aren't innocently looking for someone to race with, you're trolling for fresh victims, for poor unsuspecting souls to chew up and spit out your exhaust pipes.' Thirty-five years later it will still inspire you. This V-Max was purchased new by the vendors late father and it is believed to have only covered 6,111 miles from new! Sadly deterioration has set in and will need recommissioning or restoring before returning to the road, and is sold strictly as seen. Offered with a V5C, purchase receipt from 1999, expired MoT's and invoices. Offered without key Footnotes: All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
