Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2002, 2003
V-Max is the sigil of raw power and road muscle excellence, and was one of the benchmarks powercruisers have been judged upon since its introduction. The 2002 V-MAX carries on the mighty 17-years-long heritage with yet another model year setting out to scorch the asphalt.
The 2002 V-MAX retains the successful 70-degree V4 architecture for its 1198cc liquid-cooled 16-valve engine mated to a 5-speed transmission with a hydraulic clutch and shaft final drive. Add in air-assisted forks, and rebound and spring preload adjustability for the dual rear shocks for an even more exhilarating riding experience.
