The Yamaha VMax motorcycle is touted by many as one of the most perfect balances of price, performance, and style on two wheels. It looks good. It sounds good. Ownership doesn’t require the black market sale of one of your organs. Even with horsepower and torque numbers like 197.4 and 123 (respectively) Yamaha felt like it was missing something – apparently a better power to weight ratio than the Enzo just wasn’t enough. As opposed to a bigger engine, new undercarriage, or matte black paint job they opted to cover it in leather. Don’t let your inner Jax Teller or Dennis Hopper get too excited though, this gorgeous motoring monstrosity isn’t available for purchase. But that doesn’t mean you can’t ogle the Yamaha/Hermes Leather VMax Concept in all its glory.
