The 2009 Yamaha Star V-Max

The Power Cruiser, Redefined

The Yamaha V-Max made a bold debut in 1984, but the fully redesigned 2009 model is wilder than ever. The 2009 V-Max includes:

• An all new, 1,679cc liquid-cooled, 65 degree V-Four powerplant that produces 197.4 horsepower and 123 lb-ft of torque at the crank
• A slipper clutch
• An EXUP valve-equipped 4-1-2-4 exhaust system
• A large tachometer with a big shift light
• An all-new aluminum chassis and swingarm
• Anti-lock brakes with wave type rotors
• A titanium oxide coated 52mm fork
• Available carbon and touring aftermarket accessories

The 2009 Yamaha V-Max production run will be limited to only 2,500 bikes, and will include a limited edition, numbered commemorative plate. Retail delivery will begin around late October/early November, and orders will be accepted until then.

The 2009 Yamaha V-Max will be priced at $17,990.
