Yamaha V Max Hyper Modified

Yamaha Vmax

Yamaha has dipped a cautious toe into the custom waters: it’s specially made three top builders to work their magic on the venerable V-Max ‘power cruiser’. The V-Max has been around since 1985, so it’s due for a fillip-and that’s exactly what Roland Sands (USA), Marcus Walz (Germany) and Ludovic Lazareth (France) have provided. Although Yamaha has called the initiative «Hyper Modified», the mods are relatively mild. I’m guessing the builders were told not to stray too far from the essence of the original. 

 


 

The version we’re looking at here comes from Lazareth, who plays at the more extreme end of the custom field-and has a penchant for bolting superchargers onto his bikes.
