Yamaha V Max description

Selling my awesome VMax.  It is time.  Wicked fast.  Holeshot 4-1 exhaust and muffler, after market shocks (original shocks included), new rear high mileage tire, Corbin seat, and a BrakeAway cruise control.  The bike has been down a couple of times as you would expect when you have a fast bike like this.  It also has some years on it, so it is pretty clear the bike is used, and has scrapes and dings.  The front tire still has some life but should be replaced.  The engine is super fast, loud, and fun to ride.  The bike occasionally has been slipping out of 2nd gear.  I most often just ride up the revs in first gear and then shift to 3rd.  This issue can be corrected with a tear down, but as this is no longer my daily ride, and it did not bother me, I have not done anything to correct it.  Currently registered non op, Located in Palm Springs, and also listed locally.  I had to relist the bike.  The guy who purchased the bike never contacted me, nor responded to any emails.

What you are watching is a highlight of Mike Hailwood's segment from the racing documentary Take it to the Limit - A Motorcycle Odyssey. The Yamaha - built by the extraordinary Kel Carruthers - that Hailwood is riding in the clip featured a unique frame with the camera housed within. The voice-over recording provided by Hailwood was done by taping a small mic to the bottom of his lip so he could dictate his guide to the 37.73 mile route.
