The new YAMAHA VMAX HYPER MODIFIED arrives

After having admired the interpretations on base yamaha v max made on the occasion of EICMA Custom 2011 from the best trainers of international motorcycling, the time has come to discover the Italian answer to the question "how to transform the best into the best?".

The best answer could only be the fourth Yamaha Vmax Hyper Modified, created by the Italian customizers of Abnormal Cycles following the awarding of the prize "Best of Show" on the occasion of “Bike Show” di EICMA Custom 2011, or a yamaha v max series to be reinterpreted in a key way Hyper modified.

And so, after the spectacular versions of the masters Roland Sands, Ludovich Lazareth e Marcus Walz presented as a world premiere at the Milan Motor Show, it is now the turn of the very Italians Abnormal Cycles, a Brianza workshop led by Samuele Reali effectively entered the Olympus of customizers thanks to their version of Yamaha VMAX Hyper Modified which we at Motorionline were able to admire as a preview on Thursday evening in the always fascinating and elegant setting of the Revel Space in Milan.

Also the staff of Abnormal Cycles judged the performance of the V4 Yamaha 1.700cc more than sufficient, the engine has not in fact undergone substantial changes with the exception of the exhaust, created "ad hoc" by the sector specialist Zard: a four in two designed to perfectly match the new line of the motorbike. Aesthetically the engine has been embellished with new crankcases machined from solid material made by FGR, which also signs the foot controls and the massive triple clamps.

The fourth Yamaha VMAX Hyper Modified It also stands out for its splendid spoked rims, specially made by JoNich Whells to unload all 200 horsepower available to the ground, visually giving a technical touch with a retro flavour. The braking system was replaced with a system Discarded which completes the cycling sector, giving the vehicle a very refined "hand made" aura.

The line of the bike is completely changed, thanks to the aluminum wizard Metal Bike who managed to sew a dress made entirely of aluminum with a café racer spirit, complete with side number holders. The evocative silhouette is highlighted by the painstaking polishing, made by Zucchelli Paint, and graphics Yamaha performed by DoxDesign with a particular processing of aluminum on multiple layers which guaranteed a result that recalls the speed blocks typical of the three-tuning fork brand.

Samuele & Co., they also completed the work by embellishing the already rich package with handlebar controls Rhizome and realizing together with Wild Hogs the single-seater leather saddle.

The result achieved is a source of great pride for Abnormal Cycles, the objective of which was to create something different compared to the interpretations previously created by the three foreign preparers, giving the muscle bike Yamaha a neo retro line capable of transmitting the strong emotions that the 4-cylinder V-shaped engine gives in motion, even when stationary, and enhancing the already rich content of the standard model, characterized by a beautiful and granitic chassis, a truly "infinite" engine, and such a personality explosive to lend itself easily to becoming Hyper modified...
