WWW.YAMAHAMOTORSPORTS.COM
The V Star 250 bears
the distinction of being
the only V-twin in the
entry-level lightweight
cruiser class. With a low
seat height, beginners
will feel comfortable
with an easy reach to the
ground. Dual exhausts
and plenty of chrome
round out this package.
2019 YAMAHA
Yamaha's infamous power
cruiser packs a 65-degree,
four-valves-per-cylinder,
1679cc V-four power plant,
giving it not just gobs of
power but a distinct look
in the process. Borrowing
liberally from advanced
sport-bike technology,
VMAX features a slipper
clutch, wave-style disc
brakes, ABS, and complete
suspension adjustability
front and rear.
