Engine
The 2001 Yamaha VMAX is driven by its legendary 1, 197cc V4 engine, a powerplant that not only delivers a thrilling 140 BHP but also an exhaust note that has become music to the ears of enthusiasts worldwide.
This engine is all about delivering raw, unapologetic power with an impressive smoothness, ensuring the ride is as electrifying as the machine itself.
At the core of the VMAX’s reputation is Yamaha’s revolutionary V-Boost technology. By employing electronically controlled butterfly valves to increase airflow at higher RPMs, this system delivers a surge of power upon opening, giving the rider great acceleration and relentless top-end performance. With this innovation, the VMAX set a benchmark for motorcycles of its era, securing its place in history as a true icon of power and engineering excellence.
