Not my bike, but if you are looking for a clean VMax, this is one to look at. Was stored in a museum for 15 years and has only 2,400 miles on it. Looks brand new.

Yes, very clean as you would expect. The price doesn't sound out of line, given the mileage and the shape it's apparently in.

If I'm reading that registration sticker right, it's been sitting longer than that. That was for the 2002 - 2003 year. So if he parked it right after that it's been sitting for nigh on 20 years. The big 7 is the month it expired and down below you can see the 2002 - 2003 date range.

What a good looking bike. Definitely worth it if you want a new Gen 1 Vmax, because that's as close as you're ever going to get.

I see your 2,400 miles and raise you 244 miles.

Significant price differential.

I think it's this one, was listed at £8000 or best offer with 9 miles a year ago.

A decent profit if it sells... which I doubt.

All things consider, age, parts availability, etc.,,I would take that money and put a down payment on a 2022 MT-10. Hopefully someday Yama will reintroduce a new Max that is lighter and around 1300 CC V-4 and better Tech.

Love a stock VMax , however , I have ridden more than a few , and they have lots of limitations. Frame flexibility , bias ply tires , brakes and shocks from another era , seat from a torture chamber , uncomfortable foot peg positions , etc. I understand a low mileage stock '85 might be worth more than my modded '90 or '98 , but I believe in power with safety and comfort in mind. I didn't buy my Maxxes thinking about what they would be worth someday.
