New Yamaha V-Max set to go into production in 2009

Yamaha has confirmed the new-generation V-max will go ahead, but it still has a year of development ahead of it before being ready for production.

The V-Max’s existence was announced to US Yamaha dealers in this letter, which has been circulating on the internet:

Dear Yamaha Motorcycle Dealer,

At both last year’s Dealer Meeting in Las Vegas and select Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows, a Star Motorcycles V-Max Concept model was shown to gauge consumer response and acceptance.

We are pleased to inform you that further development of this concept model will continue from our factory during the year ahead and be assured that we will do our best to keep you informed of its progress during this time.

Thank you and best wishes for continued success,

Bob Starr

General Manager, National Communications Motorsports Group Company
