The YAMAHA VMAX 1700 :: Build with Muscles.. A Motorcycle Like No Other 

It hasn't been discontinued. In the UK we get the newer revamped one of this vid and there is talk of the next one being 2.2 The vid was good considering it was using a voice bot but when they were talking about the 2020 model being the last because of EU emissions regs then even though I am glad we are no longer part of the EU I must be honest here and say that all yamaha did to get the newer revised model through EU regulations was put an extra cat on It. Same as they did on newer R1. The R1 you can buy here today is no faster than the 2015 model its 99% the same bike, the difference is the newest R1 the engine has some slight differences and where you'd usually see a 5-8hp gain on every revamped stage of each bike, well that has now been lost as they still get the 5-8hp gain with refining the engine out on the "revamp" models but it makes zero difference to the overall power hike as they had to chuck another cat in somewhere or make one cat longer so it disrupted the flow more etc👎👎 it's only when you remove all the restrictive junk now do you realise that they have hiked the power up a fair old amount on the engine block... but all that emissions clutter has been hiding the truth and its been costing you a good 3-5mpg in fuel. I'm not even expecting anyone to disagree with me as everything I've just stated is the same as any dyno tuner, racer, owner or anyone using any commuter bike already knows is what's being going on & going wrong for the last 8yrs.

Yamaha sold over 30% of their different generations Vmax bikes in Europe, fuel is expensive but you forgot that many countries in Europe have among the highest GDP per capita in the World, so enough Vmax buyers can pay the fuel. It's more an emissions thing than a fuel price thing

@@THEREALZENFORCE how much further can they go with emissions it's affecting the products. Electricity is here why can't we enjoy the time we have left with ice

Depends on your style of driving. But that engine is a massive engine and If you call for performance it deliveres. Power comes from fuel. Get a TW200 instead If you care for consumption or costs.

Got 2018 for empty around 120 from single tank

I’m planning a 2800 mile trip on a vmax in April I’m wondering what I can do straight highway driving no hard riding

@@victorlorraine6596 I get nervous at 100 miles lol. She drinks even when you’re easy on her and that’s hard enough to do as it is.
