Born in 1985 The Original V-Max set out to make motorcycle history. The Branch Muscle bikes was created by Yamaha's unique Bike. It pretty much created a segment of it's own: Power Cruisers or Muscle Bikes. The V-Max - the one and only. Other Manufactures tried to participate in this Class, but none of these Competitors made real History. The one and only V-max remained on Top for over 20 years.
A single Bike created and defined not only a Class of Bikes, it also pointed out their Riders. Those who could withstand the Bike and loved it and those who couldn't get along with it. Most Owners made their Bike their own and modified it to their personal Needs and Likes.
