Cypress, California, August 4, 2009….Star Motorcycles is pleased to announce that the 2010 VMAX will go on sale at Yamaha dealerships beginning today via an exclusive priority delivery customer order program and continue through November 30.

Making its triumphant return to the Star line last season, the all new VMAX has been a hit with the enthusiast motorcycle press and with owners alike. The 2010 Star VMAX features a striking, new Candy Red paint scheme.

The bold, next-generation interpretation of motorcycling’s iconic muscle bike, the reinvented VMAX has at its heart an all-new 1679cc four-valve, DOHC liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine that uses YCC-T fly-by-wire throttle and YCC-I variable intake length technologies, a five-speed transmission with slipper-type clutch, shaft drive and 200/50 R18 rear tire.

Just as innovative, the chassis of the VMAX is an all-new design with a lightweight aluminum frame and swing arm, fully adjustable forks and single rear shock, Brembo®-designed brake master cylinders, wave-type brake rotors, and ABS.

Visually powerful, the engine’s iconic VMAX aluminum intake covers are hand buffed by craftsmen for superb quality and individuality, testament to this bike’s unique stature.

The 2010 VMAX production is limited and deliveries are scheduled to begin in November. Each owner who purchases through the priority delivery program will receive a two-year warranty.

The 2010 Star VMAX will have a suggested retail price of $19,500.

Star is also pleased to announce special retail financing available for the 2010 VMAX, with rates as low as 5.99% APR for 72 months for qualified customers who place their order and deposit during the priority delivery period.

The 2010 VMAX micro site will contain all 2010 model information, including images, video, product specifications, and how to order.

What's going on in the VMax Community

Today

itgoes created a new topic Conti 240 rear tire - first ride. in the forums.

I did about 35 miles today on my new Conti 240 rear tire.
I installed the wide wheel and Conti tire in a effort to get better traction on the street, where I was tired of constantly lighting up the stock tire in 1st through 3rd gear when jumping on the throttle. From my past experience I knew that the Metzler, Avon etc. would probably not be any better than stock, but when I saw the Continental Race Attack tire was introduced and researched it (and Oliver spoke highly of it), I decided to buy the wide wheel and tire.
The first turn I took I could feel a pretty big difference. The steering was "heavier" feeling, the bike needs more force to lean it over. It does actually straiten up faster though when transitioning so i would not say that it's slower when "flicking", but it definitely takes more effort. To me this tire feels more secure when going through a corner than the stock one, although I did have one "squirrelly" moment when all the way over scraping the right hand peg. I think it was because I hit some gravel which is plentiful right now on all the roads.
As far as traction straight ahead goes, it hooks up MUCH better.

The tire would not break loose the way the stock one does from a roll in first gear. I tried 5 times - each time it hooked and launched me forward with the front wheel first skipping then settling maybe a foot off the ground. Today it was around 65 degrees when I got out.....I can only expect this tire to hook even better during the summer.
So I feel (so far) like I definitely made the right decision, it hooks up great and the handling feels very good. It also looks great.

Hey Badger, looks like the bike is really coming together. It looks great! I'm looking to pick up a windscreen and was curious about how tall you are. I'm 6'4" (193.04 cm) and could use a little protection from the wind.

Cheers!

Bike looks great! I'm looking to pick up a windscreen and was curious about how tall you are. I'm 6'4" (193.04 cm) and could use a little protection from the wind. At speed it feels like I'm a sheet of plywood exposed to the wind.

I'll post this to Badger's thread as well.

Looking forward to the other pictures this weekend.

Thanks

Metzler for grip, but wears out quick!!

I like the Avon the best....ok traction and burn outs here and there won't require often tire changes!!

Thanks to everyone for the comments. I do have the engine guard with extra pegs on mine, and I really do like the change in ride position they offer. I found a stock seat, used, for 75 bucks, so I am going to try it. I will at least have the option of either seat. Anyone with comments or recommendations for a rear tire. The 150 Dunlop on mine has terrible traction. I have managed to mark all of my neighbor's driveways, some not even trying

I even lose traction in second gear, and I am really not trying there, and no, I am not abusing the clutch.
