Rider Profile

Best For	This is a machine best suited to experienced riders who respect brutal, low-end torque delivered through an unconventional V4 powerplant.
Purpose	Built as a straight-line power cruiser, the V Max exists to deliver explosive acceleration and muscular presence rather than efficient distance-covering or corner-carving finesse.
Rider Fit	At over 260 kg dry with a long wheelbase and low seat height, it feels heavy and substantial at a stop but plants confidently once rolling.
Character	The V Max carries an aggressive, muscle-bike personality defined by its iconic V-Boost induction howl and drag-strip-inspired acceleration rush.
Not Ideal For	It is not the right choice for riders seeking nimble cornering, long-haul touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 765mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Yamaha 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.
