The 2010 Yamaha Star VMAX is a special order model, but Motorcycle USA finagled one for an afternoon ride. Climb on and join us for a 2010 Yamaha VMAX Quick Ride.

The VMax is also very thirsty and the 4 gallon fuel tank will only get you around 100 miles at a time under the best circumstances.

The Yamaha Star VMAX is here for 2010 and ready to lay down a smoking strip of rubber as long as Texas is wide.

The VMAX carries a unique style that will appeal to those looking for a bike that will stand out from a crowd and lay down the power to draw that crowd to you.

The hulking VMAX muscle cruiser engine draws your attention with its stealth black color and aluminum accents.
