Yamaha V-max 1200
The Yamaha V-max 1200 has a top speed of 220 km/h, produces 143 hp and weighs 262 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
雅马哈 V-Max 1200 于 1985 年推出，是一款肌肉自行车，将原始动力与引人注目的 V 型增压感应系统相结合，迅速成为直线性能的标志。直到2007年，它在生产过程中基本保持不变，这证明了其原始设计的持久吸引力。V-Max 凭借其激进的造型和残酷的加速性能赢得了全世界的狂热追随者，在 2009 年被更大的 1679cc V-Max 取代之前，它成为同一个时代最知名的摩托车之一。

买家应该知道什么
V-Boost System Magic
Above 6,000 RPM, the unique V-Boost butterfly valve system links all four carburetors together, delivering a sudden surge of power that made it the world's fastest production motorcycle at launch in 1985. This system can wear out and cause flat spots if not maintained.
Watch the Carbs
The four Mikuni carburetors are notoriously difficult and expensive to sync and rebuild, so always verify recent carb service on any used example. Neglected carbs lead to poor running, rough idle, and costly shop time.
Strong Collector Value
Clean, low-mileage V-Max 1200s have held or increased in value due to cult status and the model's 23-year production run ending in 2007. Well-kept examples with original bodywork command a significant premium over modified or faded bikes.

"最初的肌肉自行车仍然比大多数人更难打击。"
V-Boost 系统转速约为 6,000 rpm 并不是一个比喻——当所有四种碳水化合物同时涌入时，你的手腕确实会与门槛作斗争，而且 2009 年之前建造的任何东西都不像在公共道路上那样。城里到处都是猪：262 千克的低载重量，一个会让你在停车场感到尴尬的转弯，还有一个会像你讨厌一样发出叮当声的变速箱。但是把它放到一条直线的高速公路上，整个荒谬的练习完全合情合理——它从80km/h的速度拉出第五档，没有戏剧性，而且还能继续前进。车架上的生锈、损坏的碳水化合物隔膜和腐蚀的 V-Boost 螺线管是手册中没有人提到的维护现实；在没有最近重建碳水化合物和相应预算的情况下购买一个。

二手买家评论
"Pure muscle-bike theater that genuinely delivers the performance goods."
$4,500-$9,000 usedThe V-Max 1200 is one of those bikes that genuinely delivers on its legend. That 1198cc V4 with V-Boost kicking in around 6,000rpm still feels properly savage even by modern standards — it's not just old-man nostalgia talking. The chassis is crude by comparison, but that's the trade-off you signed up for when you bought something that looks like a muscle car turned sideways. Buying used, watch the carbs obsessively. The four-carb setup gets gummed up if it's been sitting, and a proper sync and clean can run you $300-500 at a shop. Check the fork seals, inspect the rear drive for leaks, and ask hard questions about the cooling system — these things run hot in traffic and previous owners sometimes ignore it. High-mileage examples above 30,000 miles need valve checks. This isn't a practical motorcycle and it was never trying to be. It's a statement piece that actually backs up its attitude with performance. Just go in with eyes open about the maintenance reality.
