The 2009 Yamaha V-Max is a 21st century redesign of one of Yamaha's
most distinctive models. The 2009 production V-Max is based
on the styling of the 2006
concept V-Max, but both bikes also draw heavily on the original
V-Max design from the 1980's.
The 2009 Yamaha V-Max uses an all-new 1,679cc liquid-cooled
4-stroke DOHC 65 degree V4 engine. This unit develops 210 horsepower
@ 9,000 rpm and 166 Nm of torque @ 6500 rpm. The engine of the
new V-Max benefits from Yamaha's G.E.N.I.C.H. technology. This
is an electronic control system which optimises the engines
performance and response with features such as YCC-I (Yamaha
Chip Controlled Intake) and YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle).
However perhaps the most obvious feature of the V-Max's Engine
is the pronounced aluminium air intakes on either side of the
dummy fuel tank, and the stubby exhausts which mirror the intake
design.
The chassis of the 2009 Yamaha V-Max consists of an aluminium
frame which arcs across the top of the V4 engine (which is a
stressed member of the frame) and down to the pivot in a semi-loop
designed to accentuate the engine's shape. The Yamaha V-Max's
suspension is handled by fully adjustable 52 mm forks up front
and a fully adjustable link-type Monocross rear suspension system
at the rear. The 2009 Yamaha V-Max also features 320mm dual
front wave-type brake discs with 6-piston radial-mounted calipers,
a 298mm rear brake disc, and 18 inch black-colored wheels.
