2.8 litres, 175hp, compact body, and enhanced signature Yamaha cowling design – the V MAX SHO 175hp is a zero compromise powerhouse. It has an amazing power-to-weight ratio and is expertly designed to deliver its unique acceleration in a clean, efficient and quiet way
V MAX your torque.
The streamlined, sophisticated cowling design, with stylish 3D graphics and pared back decals, conceals advanced technology features like a 16-valve, double-overhead cam engine layout with variable camshaft timing and electronic fuel injection – but there’s no hiding the blistering acceleration and heart-pumping top speed.
