It appears Yamaha are going into production with this 1999 concept bike as a successor to the Max.

It has a 1700cc V Twin, derived from the Roadstar Warrior and develops about 108lb.ft of torque

It's a gorgeous looking piece of kit but a replacement for the Max? - I don't think so.

That thing looks BAD ASS!

Itll need a chainguard!

Very nice mate. Deffo added to my lottery winning wish list!

I think I'd prefer the Max..

Still a nice bike though.

Slightly OT, and a chain drive with that motor, I dont tkink so, best go for a shafty
I say.

As for looks its alright but as for practability for a nice ride I thik its going to be
a nightmare to ride, like that V8 thing in the USA, a guy here in Milton Keynes has
one of those V8 things, not being funny its way OT by far (nut case)

Cheers

Tel you what though that 'tank' is very similar to the fake tank and airbox cover on the max.

yep, i likes that loads it's got some lovely clean lines going on there.

#Anyone else noticed the lack of lights & blinkers on that?

But still a gorgeous machine though.
