2009 Yamaha Vmax launch in Brisbane

Brisbane’s Powerhouse Museum was the venue for Yamaha Australia’s Brisbane launch of the upcoming 2009 Vmax muscle bike. Press, industry and a number of customers who have already placed a deposit on the 200hp bruiser were on hand to see the Vmax in the flesh.

The promotional videos shown indicated Yamaha’s commitment to the continuation of the original model V-max’s ideology, an acceleration focused power cruiser. Jim Beam Racing’s V8 Supercar driver Steven Johnson rode the bike on to the stage, and mingled with the crowd afterwards.
