1989 Yamaha V Max review from United States of America
"Should not be your first or even second bike!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
When I bought it, it needed a battery and fork seals. Everything else was cosmetic.
General comments?
If it wasn't so well known, it would be a sleeper as it's MUCH faster than it looks! You always have the feeling the bike is trying to rid itself of you, when you crack it open and let out that V-boost rage.
