Rider Profile

Best For	This is a machine best suited to experienced riders who respect brutal, unfiltered acceleration and a heavy, torque-laden chassis.
Purpose	Built almost purely for straight-line muscle and drag-strip theatrics rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	The 262 kg dry weight and low, wide stance demand strong arms and confident low-speed handling from the rider.
Character	A legendary power-cruiser with a menacing V4 growl and outrageous thrust that defines the classic muscle-bike persona.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, nimble, or long-haul touring companion.

Feet:

At 765mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2002 Yamaha VMX 1200 V-Max, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
