Customizing the Next Generation 2008 Yamaha Star VMax

admin | 06 May, 2007 23:59

2008 Yamaha Star VMax Ever since the original VMax hit the roads in the 1980s, it has been a bike that captured the imagination of many bike owners and custom bike builders. When the VMax was released it was the fastest production motorcycle in the world and it would take many years before another bike would even come close to its power numbers. It was not designed as a canyon carver or a track bike, its single purpose was to go as fast as possible down a straight line. And boy did it do it well! Many Power Cruisers and street fighters still fall way short of reaching the acceleration of the old - all mighty - VMax.

After some 20 years Yamaha is about to release the next generation VMax. Awaited for 2008, the bike will set new standards for most powerful.


Early pictures of the prototype have been floating on the Web for a few years now. Yamaha has a dedicated web site for the pre-launch and to conduct consumer surveys: www.next-vmax.com

The bike is still surrounded by lots of rumors, figures like 1400-1800cc displacement, 210+ hps and facts like its next generation variable valve timing system, true ram air setup as well as possible ABS, linked braking and traction control.

No matter how the final bike will turn out, people like myself will want to make it our very special one-of-a-kind, make it our own.

Sure enough I find myself thinking and planning for when the bike will hit my custom bike shop. Here is a first glimpse of what could happen:

Lets start out with straight line performance. It seems Yamaha is not going to make it easy on me with their shaft drive, but if they can get rid of it, I will for sure. The rear swing-arm will get a 4-6" stretch, matched up with a proper chain drive and at least a 240 rear tire setup.

To fill the extra space between the tire and the front of the swing-arm, a good old NOS bottle will have to find its mount in there. An extra 50-75hps shot above 6000 rpm should help the variable cams mimic the good old VBoost even better. Of course we are talking computer controller NOS, would not want to blow up the engine too early. Most likely another Dynojet Wideband Commander that will make it onto this bike.

I am not completely sure about the lighting system. Right now I am leaning towards a high power LED setup to replace the main headlight combined with some air-box internal lightning to better accent the air intakes.

I don't expect the wave rotors to make it onto the production bike either. It could mean a set of Galfers jut like on the turbo.

As for the paint job I have some early ideas down on paper, sorry but these won't be shared until it gets actually done. Expect to see a mean monster, maybe even get parts of the engine a different color treatment to accent some of it features.

At above stated power figures, I don't believe a turbo or super charger will be necessary, although I said the very same thing just 1 year before I bolted a turbo onto a Yamaha Roadstar Warrior.

Round it out with some mean looking accessories, like bar end mirrors and custom foot pegs. And of course a Dynojet Power Commander PCIII (maybe a PCIV by then) combined with quick-shifter to yank the bike down the quarter mile.

Too bad we are still about a year away from the arrival of the All New - All Mighty - Yamaha Star VMax.
