I don 't think it was painted, at least by an amature.

 

[Norms 427]

BTW, RIDER magazine, Jan 2014, has a nice review of the 1985 VMax on the back couple of pages. Good article.

 

[m-cman]

And it has that dealer installed pin stripe kit that is so rare. I have never seen one in person. :biglaugh:

I like the paint job … very different.

#0663 Located in Ontario Canada. Stage 7, Vboost on full time, p&p heads, modded stock exhaust (for now). Just bought it, passed safety no issues. Only 15,000kms on it. spent 10 years + as a drag bike with no road time. Currently the bike is blue with black race stripes but not it's original color and a very poor job.. I'll be getting it redone very soon.

snakecharmer, looks like u bought it from dwarf717 who had the same Canadian VIN #. Sounds like a real runner … you're on The List. Thanks for posting.

We've learned that Yamaha begins each model year with the last 4 digits beginning with 0101.
Also, Canadian bikes are numbered independently from those in the USA but also begin with 0101.

Yup a buddy actually knows a few of the PO's from my area and one guy that had it from 91-2000 pretty much used it only for drag racing... Havn't had much of a chance to giver a go yet but from the short run I gave it after I got the clutch functioning again it has some serious punch..

 

[PATMAX]

Well, I have my fourth 1985 awaiting pick up in TN when the weather gets better. Don't know the number yet but it is the deep red, Sudco 4/1 exhaust, 16,xxx miles and mostly stock. Needs minor mechanical work to be ridden. Getting it from another VMF member through this Forum.
I'm giddy as a school girl.

 

[desert_max]

That just ain't fair. Even I could afford four runners, I just don't have room for them.

Hoarder!

 

[vmaxjrm]

yep, last four indicate production order number...

so far rebar's #421 is in the lead as "the origianal" stock condition.... and #221 parts bike for oldest in existance...

#0119 restoration in progress

 

[PATMAX]

Pictures!!!! Of # 0119. Where are they?

 

[PATMAX]

As the peanut M&M would say, "They DO exist!"
Has me beat. Now I'm jealous!

 

[marsmax85]

everything has a price if you want it bad enough...

 

[snakecharmr]

Anyone know what the current oldest for canada is.. I've got an '85 #0663

 

[Norms 427]

vmaxjrm, you're on The List. Wow, #0119 is early!

According to our list we have #0102 -- V4bandit, being restored, Canadian bike.

 

[PATMAX]

# 2125 in red. Mostly stock now with intention to execute a concourse quality detail and return to bone stock with intention to put very few miles on it and have it available for visitors to ride.
