The 1986 Yamaha V-Max 1200 is a sleek, powerful motorcycle hailing from Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.'s Hamamatsu plant in Japan. This classic cruiser model features a distinctive V-Shaped Dual Overhead Cam (DOHC) engine with four cylinders and a displacement of 1198cc, generating around 79 horsepower at the rear wheel. Distinctive to this Yamaha is its "Internal Use Code," noted for being produced specifically for the North American market despite having been manufactured in Japan. Notably, it's part of Yamaha's VMX series - specifically the VMX12S model line - designed for high-speed highway cruising with a top engine speed of 8500 rpm. With a GVW of up to 3000 lbs or less and body type classified as 'Two Wheel Motorcycle,' it comfortably falls into Class 1A rating. Despite being around four decades old, this V-Max 1200 retains its original purpose: to thrill motorcycle enthusiasts with raw power and iconic design cues that are uniquely Yamaha.
