2010 Yamaha Star VMAX
Yamaha's sporty cruiser the Star Vmax continues in to 2010 with a new Candy Red option.
Star Motorcycles is pleased to announce that the 2010 VMAX will go on sale at Yamaha dealerships beginning today via an exclusive priority delivery customer order program and continue through November 30.

Making its triumphant return to the Star line last season, the all new VMAX has been a hit with the enthusiast motorcycle press and with owners alike. The 2010 Star VMAX features a striking, new Candy Red paint scheme.

The bold, next-generation interpretation of motorcycling’s iconic muscle bike, the reinvented VMAX has at its heart an all-new 1679cc four-valve, DOHC liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine that uses YCC-T fly-by-wire throttle and YCC-I variable intake length technologies, a five-speed transmission with slipper-type clutch, shaft drive and 200/50 R18 rear tire.

Just as innovative, the chassis of the VMAX is an all-new design with a lightweight aluminum frame and swing arm, fully adjustable forks and single rear shock, Brembo®-designed brake master cylinders, wave-type brake rotors, and ABS.

Visually powerful, the engine’s iconic VMAX aluminum intake covers are hand buffed by craftsmen for superb quality and individuality, testament to this bike’s unique stature.

I love the new color. Too bad Suzuki killed the B-King so the VMax has one less competitor (maybe the only real competitor?). I hope Yami doesn't give this VMax the same fate as the old one - no updates or improvements, especially now that it has no competition.

It looks like something cobbled together for a movie.

"Exclusive priority delivery customer order program"? The old percieved value tactic, eh? They must not slap a VIN the bike until they get a 20% deposit.

Should tell my local dealership. They are still trying to unload the 09s...

I can imagine offering this bike in metallic white pearl. I ve seen white MT-01, surprisingly to me that bike looks amazing. Still, the red color is nice and fresh.
