Advantages: Speed is superb

Disadvantages: Not much really!

Definitely the most comfortable bike I have ever had the pleasure of owning, the Yamaha range continues to grow I managed to pick myself up one of these supreme Yamaha V-Max VMX1200 which is the best bike I have both riden, sat on and looked at.

My Girlfriend nearly stole this off me, but I don't think she managed to work out where the key goes (lol!). My bike is almost exactly like the one in the photo you see above this opinion, in gleaming midnight black with a superb retro look and feel about the bike. The leather is comfortable, if a bit on the drab side, but I love the storage compartment - easily fit enough food in there for a day out!

I've had my bike for around a year and a half now, I ride it as often as I can, and the speed! Wow! I won't mention the actual speed I have gone up to, as it's not in my best interests, but this bike is quick, and offers superb stability even at high speeds and winds. 0 - 60 in below 5 seconds, so it's not bad!

I have to say that the VMX 1200 is mmore like a Harley, than a 'traditional' Yamaha, but it further affirms the quality and status of the world's leading bike brand.

It cost me £5300, but you should be able to pick up one for £3000 or £4000, for an older model.

Two words that describe my set of wheels?: Amazing - Astounding!

Don't let Wayne borrow it, and if Harry if sits on it?

Let's not think of the damages...

Thanks - I recommend this bike to everyone!

Some Guy!

Sounds like you really love your V-Max, and so you should! Theyre fantastic bikes, but you didnt say anything about the poor handling around corners or its fuel consumption etc. I love the way this bike scares kids and old people! (Not to mention whoevers riding it,V-Maxs are easily agitated!) Thanx for writing the opinion, I would have been disappointed if I hadnt found it here! Nice one. =) By the way, dont underestimate your girlfriend, one of these days she might just suprise you and take it for a spin!!
