 Until 2008, the original V-Max was offered for sale through the Star Motorcycles division of Yamaha Motorcycles.Apart from a minor freshening to the bike's specifications in 1993, when the bike gained a larger-diameter fork to minimize high-speed wobbling and drift, four-piston brake calipers, and other handling and safety related upgrades, the 2007 V-Max was almost the same as the original 1985 version.Overall, the V-Max was long, wide, and high.
