Oftentimes, there is but a fanciful relationship between the name of a vehicle and the reality on the ground.

Oftentimes, there is but a fanciful relationship between the name of a vehicle and the reality on the ground.
But that’s not the case with the Yamaha VMAX Carbon.
The special-edition bike’s tank cover, front and rear fenders, and side covers are all produced with carbon fiber.
And while you can’t hear the sound of the 197-hp, 1,679-cc engine, know that there are upswept Akapovic slip-on mufflers for audio accentuation.
Yamaha, incidentally, is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the original VMAX.
