oldest surviving vmax....

[PATMAX]

Forgot pics.

When in doubt...Gas it !!!

 

[Redbone]

Very nice, good to hear your not going to restore then let is rot in all it's glory. Motorcycles are made to be ridden!

 

[Traumahawk]

That is a good looking bike!!!!

 

[marsmax85]

Motorcycles are to be ridden but the vmax is to be also admired.....

 

[Fire-medic]

Wow, a great job, I'll be sending my bike right over, Pat!

 

[PATMAX]

Hah, too much on my plate as it is!
I've got to start finishing much of what I got already! I had to get a dry erase board to keep up with what project is next on each bike and any Powdercoat orders that I have. I don't know how Morley does it! LOL.

 

[Itgoes]

Bike looks great....love the pipe and can, (Hindle/Sudco) I had the same on my very first Vmax.

 

[Norms 427]

Pat, beautiful bike!

I put you on The List.

Norm

 

[PATMAX]

Thanks. I don't know if number four is a good thing or a bad thing!
Guess I should dump my 1990 daily runner as an outcast !

 

[Traumahawk]

LOL...dont you have to change your number to 4.5 85's?

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.

[silverado6x6]

My VIN is JYA1J HOO 5 FA000199

1985 Vmax, found under a tarp on the side of a house, given to me, going through a complete restoration. last year of registration was 1999.

(the colors of the text I cannot see, must be old age)

 

[bob321]

#1325, i see its brother is already on the list. I just picked up this one, but its gonna need a miracle hahaha

[PATMAX]

Nothing to it. Looks pretty good. A good weekend should have her going if you have all the parts. Not exactly sure what's going on with the triple tree, clip handlebar set up though. Interested at least.

 

[bob321]

old owner stated he had a accident that bent the forks, these are off of a zx10 or somthing, and the clutch is missing, (it was he parts bike) But i want something to tinker on, iam in the market for parts though
