I’m starting to like the styling of these quite a lot.
Have seen a few with trick bits on them too, made a lot of difference. Anyone know anything about them? Are they capable sports bikes?
Never ridden one, I’m sure Mr Yamaha, sorry Radar will know a little about them. They do look pretty funky
Took a test ride on one o these when I was thinking about getting a Vmax… Bought a Vmax (Gen 1) – a better bike by miles.
The MT01 was a bit asthmatic – probably curable with a pair of Akro’s, a fair bit of vibration – 1700cc’s worth of twin pistons is gonna take a bit of balancing out, though shed loads of grunt from unbelievably low revs.After finding the MT runs out of guts around 85 – the vibes getting a bit too intense to go higher on the revs, I bought a low mileage Gen 1 Vmax (1999) Full Power – and the grins never stop! The V4 pulls like a train, is spectacularly smooth and the V-Boost… you gotta try it to believe it!
Happy Maxxer!

I have always had a bit of a hanking fro an early V Max, i remember the huge fuss about the power output twhen they were launched
I do like the look of the Yamaha XV950R too
