Making their name with performance two-strokes, Yamaha eventually offered a full range of four-strokes from 250cc to 1200cc, culminating in the legendary V-Max, a brutally powerful V4 that was built in Japan but designed in the United States. Yamaha created the V-Max as a two-wheeled equivalent of an American muscle car like a Shelby Cobra, emphasised by the aluminium scoops drawing in air from either side of its dummy petrol tank. This striking-looking V-Max has been part of the Brian Ditchfield collection for the last ten years or so. A retired engineer and lifelong motorcycle enthusiast who in the past ran a very successful Sidecar GP team, finishing second in the World Championship in 2002, Mr Ditchfield was drawn to its excellent, original collection. The V-Max displays a credible 9,700 miles supported by 9 old MOTs. The Yamaha was a bike that many owners modified, so, few have survived in standard condition, including the '3UF-14721' stamped genuine exhaust system. The bike is fitted with some nice quality chrome extras including a pair of engine bars, a rear carrier/backrest and a radiator grille together with a small flyscreen. Run recently, it will need the normal checks before use and is being offered with 2 keys and the V5C.
