oldest surviving vmax....

[silverado6x6]

My second 85 which is currently last on the list is very much a running bike, just got through going through the starter and cooling system, just waiting for spring.

 

[blaxmax]

Purchased 3 months ago when it was stripped and "green"-(dannymax said it was bad karma) so i just finished painting it. He also added that it was not "stock" when i sent him a pic of the radiator hose that was used in place of the carb intakes!!!
It is #0262 with 11,000 original miles- take a look and listen below

Nice work blax!

I did replace the complete set of radiator hose on mine with the black synthetic ones, but their hose clamps were garbage.

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.

[Mordicant]

Just reporting my '85 "#0622 -- Mordicant, California import to Holland" is still running wonderfully well with like 74K miles on the counter 8)

 

[Mordicant]

I posted the VIN list on the Vmax classics FB page https://www.facebook.com/groups/607652192578786/960949373915731/?notif_t=like

And thought about the list... I am pretty sure some/many Maxxers on the list have died by now or have been parted out or something..
Isn't it an idea to give the VINS reported still alive in 2015 a slightly different colour? That way bikes that passed away can be slowly (and with respect :worthy: ) ritually be taken from the list..

 

[Mad V Max]
