YAMAHA VMAX
WWW.YAMAHAMOTORSPORTS.COM
Yamaha's famous power
cruiser packs a 65-degree,
four-valves-per-cylinder,
1679cc V-four, giving it
not just gobs of power
but a distinct look in
the process. Borrowing
liberally from advanced
sportbike technology,
VMAX features a slipper
clutch, wave-style brake
discs, ABS, and complete
suspension adjustability
front and rear.
Like the Star Venture, the Eluder
is a luxury bagger aimed at
those who want the most of
what a full dresser can offer. Its
1854cc air-cooled V-twin produc-
es smooth passing power even
when fully loaded. And with
ride-by-wire throttle control,
traction control, and selectable
riding modes, the Eluder is great
for the long haul.
