    Sale or Trade: 1995 Yamaha Vmax for plated dirty thing, 4 stroke

    So here's the deal.

    I don't ride all my bikes as much as I should. Can't justify keeping all of them anymore. Life has gotten increasingly busy, and I find I do the most of my riding on the track or at Deal's Gap with the SV, or on commuting/long distance touring trips on the Vstrom.

    The Vmax. She's pretty mint. 20 years old, so there is some oxidation here and there, but really not too bad for the age. Could be easily touched up to make it cherry, but it's a bike that lives inside in a heated garage year round. 21k miles or so.

    Valves were just adjusted.

    Carb boots were replaced.

    Steering head bearings replaced with roller tapered bearings. New fork seals, front springs and Ricor Intiminator valves.

    Braided front lines with rebuilt calipers, Galfer green pads. Rebuild masters, both front and rear.

    Runs/rides/wails as good as any stock Vmax. No 2nd gear issues. No charging issues. VBoost has been left stock and kicks in at 6k.

    Motor/exhaust/intake is bone stock. Lights are stock. Seat is stock, Corbin comes with it.

    I'm looking for a fun playbike that's a 4 stroke, but NOT a DRZ/KLR/DR/KLX.

    350cc and up modern engine. Plated with lights to pass in MA. The ability to toss a set of motard rims on there for trackday fun is a huge plus, though I don't expect anything to come with the wheels. Just having the ability to do so would be nice in the future.

    Just throwin it out there. Probably not gunna get any bites, but if there is anyone out there that wants a brutally fast cruiser that sounds like a wound up smallblock Chevy, the Vmax is it.

    I'll consider selling outright, $4000 or best offer. It's ready to roll.

    Picture for fun. Cat doesn't come with it cause she's dead.

    You should get something with an automatic transmission so you don't have to shift with big clunky dirt boots.

    I wouldn't ever have to shift if I put a trials tire on the back of the Vmax and taught all your Austrian ninnies a thing or two about woods riding.

    I've always loved the way the first-gen Vmax's look, and I've got a DR350 with two sets of wheels I haven't ridden in almost a year...

    Sorry, got no love for a DR. Looking for something with more modern boingers and power.

    Maybe I should just use it for flat track. They'd allow it in the XR100 class, right? Just have to pay 12 entries.

    If it was a 450, sure. 250 is just too portly for the engine. Plus, 320lbs is a lot of weight off road.

    I am interested in your Vmax as I've been searching for one as you have described for several years. Is it still available? If so, I surely would like to discuss it with you? Thanks!

    She's all tucked away in the heated basement for the winter, so yes. I still have her.

    Why do I feel like there's a Nigerian prince's personal bank account attached to those posts?

    PM me your phone number and I'll call you.

    No, I will not ship the bike. In person, cash only transaction in case you are a scammer.
