Vote for the best looking V-Max4 1992 to 1997

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

Well here's your chance guys to see what's the most popular production year of your favorite V-4 sled. Will be interesting to see how all the members vote on this one. Don't think we have ever done this kind of poll? Dean maybe before my time here?

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

Just going to Sticky this Poll is that okay? Hope you don't mind hate to see it on another page and have to bring it back to the top. Noticed that it's getting busy here of late.

[mark the shark]

Yeah, all of our fair weather friends who don't hang around here all Summer are starting to check back in.:rockon:

Ken and Shark are soooooo funny :)

I know that Dean has the little icons of V-Max4's above but there pretty small. We should start adding photos here and see if we can get all the years. Ken can you take a side view of you 92? I got a good one of my 93. I'll add it here and make it a good size for all to see.

Still working on the pic of me...one thing though, I`m kinda worried some of the fashion magazines might see it, and start hounding me to be on thier cover or something, hate it when that happens. LOL

[vmax4rules]

I had to pick the 93!!
Lisa said the 92 is her favorite, I wonder why that is??
Doug

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

Lisa said the 92 is her favorite, I wonder why that is??

Has Lisa fired up the big max yet? You guys should line up the two V-4's and see who's faster on grass? That be cool to see on video just don't hit any horses on the farm you don't want to put a scratch on your sleds.:muahaha:

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

Sure looks like the 1994's are the least popular year so far.

[lokn4sno]

I vote the 95!! Like the Black 800

[Roadrunner]

Reg,
No we didn't line up yet, since last year my secondary was screwed up but hopefully this year we will get side by side!!!
This is the only side by side, that we had the sleds so far. :rockon:

[Exciter570]

Thats a great looking pair right there!!

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

Yes I do agree but don't Lisa's skis look just a little dull compared to Dougs?

[Roadrunner]

Reg,
Damn, I didn't think anyone would notice!! Her skis will be next to get polished up!!
Doug

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

You have 2 sweet looking V-Max4's. From the look of the photo they look showroom condition to me.

Do you think someday of getting another V-4? You just need to get a 94 and you got all the 750's.:muahaha: :rockon:

Maybe some day soon, there will be another VMax-4!!!! :muahaha:

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

That is too cool Doug! Thanks for the PM.:4fzfk2: :4fzfk2: :4fzfk2:

[Roadrunner]

No problem, Reg. I am pretty excited about it!
I will be looking for another track for it. If you can keep your eyes open for one, I would appreciate it.
Doug

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

I'll let you know what comes my way for sure for a track Doug. If I would have parted out one of the sleds I gave to my friends kids you could have gotten the new track on it. He's got one little old machine for 3 kids. So I gave him a newer bigger sled. You know how when you help others good things will come around. Well I put an offer on his home recently that was for sale and they lowerd the price for us to purchase it! They even said the 12' trampoline and netting can stay for our kids. Were moving December 15th our home goes on the market tomorow. Already had people interested in it witch is a good start.

[AL P]

I just voted....












for the 92 750..

[VMAX535]

Mark,

Do you find the small wheels at the bend in the rail help? I've been thinking of getting some for my proaction skid.

Here's my '93. Almost stock.
Shark

[mark the shark]

Yes, I think they do make a difference. I had them on my stock suspension also, and I noticed that the slides didn't wear out as fast at the bend, which is usually the first place they get thin. I was thinking about putting another set just ahead of those on the inside of the rails, but haven't looked into the clearance issues yet. Actually, I was thinking about machining a couple pieces of metal to match the bend and line up a row of bearings from the front of the 5 1/8" wheels around the front of the bend and use them like billet wheels. It seems like sealed bearings would make good rollers on the rubber track, and would have a nice low profile. It might not be worth the effort, but it would look cool. (And isn't that what it's all about anyway?:rolleyes: )

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

Look at the 92's now getting lots more votes of late.

[vmax4sean]

Hmmm... 92.. wait no.. 95. mabye.. no.. 95.. I wasn't sure if I wanted the 92 or 95, but went for 95

[THEBIGGUY]

Hmmm... had a 92, it was so hot... now have a 94, it is so hot... crap, i can't decide, they're all awesome!!

[Exciter570]

C'mon, you all know that the 1997 was the best year!!:653:

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

Why could they not have made them till 2007 I think Yamaha should make a new version again soon.

Oh well at least we had 5 years of the great V-Max4. Would be neat to see a 1,000 4 cylinder 2 stroke sled. I would have to get one for sure. Who knows anything is possible.

[AL P]

5 years?? which one was`nt great? LOL, just kiddin with ya RDL.
Would be cool if they had kept making them.

AL P

[vmax4rules]

92'-97' = 6 years (LOL!!)

[vmax4rules]

Me too :rockon:

[Ike]

C´mon! You know the ´96 looks the best!

Ike

[Exciter570]

The '97 is just plain HOT!:nice: Well they all are. like the pic on ppage one of the 1992 with the low black windy, I might have to get a black Vmax4 to add to the stable.....

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

AL,P

5 years?? which one was`nt great? LOL, just kiddin with ya RDL.

I think all the years were good. Still want them (Yamaha) to make another V-Max version.

92'-97' = 6 years (LOL!!)

Okay I messed up never was good at Math LOL....:2dontknow But one thing I am good at is :fart: :muahaha: :rockon:

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

I do like the 97's alot decals are way cool. Got any side view photos of your machine?

[Roadrunner]

Exciter,
The sled looks great! I have to say it sure is awesome looking!

[Exciter570]

Got any side view photos of your machine?

I sure do... here ya go

"Exciter,
The sled looks great! I have to say it sure is awesome looking!"

Thanks Doug!

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

The way she looks so clean it's like she just came off the dealer's showroom floor. :653:

[Silver Talon]

I had to go with the 92, i just love the irony of the crazy fast sled with pink on it. Also like to black sleds better than the red a little bit too.

[turbogriesbach]

I took these pic's at the 91 Eagle River Derby. Ordered mine the next day! Hopper.

[Exciter570]

Wow, I'm glad they changed the windshied design. That one has quite the lip on it.

[bigkid]

personaly i like the 97/96 most, i think its just the design of hood and shape of the front

[Tuchodi]

I have only owned 2 95's, but would like to get pat Haucks 97. I have another 95 waiting for pick-up in Winnipeg and would like to find another on to make the trip real exciting!!!. I lost out on a 92 or 93 st here in whitehorse and still hope to find it. So many nice sleds here that it is very hard to decide, but 95 takes it for me.

[YAMMIEGOD 3:16]

NO DOUBT 95 BEST LOOKING YEAR ( and fastest ) !! 3:16 (yammie tony)

[Tuchodi]

I hope to find 97 chassis preferably Mountain Max and then paint and swap to 95 colours. I would like a mpi tunnel or custom build for use with longer chaincase from cmx (belt drive) . Strange to be so hung up on a 13 year old design, but still nothing looks as cool as a Vmax4. I have been looking at and under some of the 08's and except for the new hollow drive axles, nothing very impressive-Just light and flimsy looking!!

[vmax4rules]

:agree:
Your not alone Tuchodi.

[Mad Powersports]

Well I voted for a 95... NOT.... The best lookin' is 92 without a doubt. I not biased at all :653:

[luckyone]

love my 96! but had to vote for the best looking to me and that is the 92!i think it was the best graphic package.97 was good looking machine as well.

[Silver Talon]

Oh yea, 92 rules!

[squeezemore]

Well don't really know if you meant stock and trying not to be biased but here's a pic of a v-4 in which I think is the nicest looking

[Silver Talon]

Thats pretty wild looking! What year graphics are thouse! LOL

[daman]

Had to go with the '97, love the red when all polished up, but all are f*ck'en bad ass!!!:bowdown:

[squeezemore]

It's a '95 with special order graphics that you could get only in Nothern Ontario LOL

[Silver Talon]

What did those cost ya? Ive been looking for new graphics to replace my old ones on my 92, and would like to have something like that done but mabye in pink, but Not as much as on your sled, but something to dress her up some.

[squeezemore]

Had them done by a guy who does this as a business, they are vinyl and I just told him kind of what I wanted and that's what he came up with, the cost for me was $100 installed and some screen painting. He does it out of his house and if you are interested I sure I sould put you in contact with him he is very good and reasonable.

[Silver Talon]

So there just basic vinal? Thats what I have actualy been trying to find out myself. I have a freind that does graphics for cars and was wondering If I could use him to do some stuff for me. If I cant get ahold of him, ill get ahold of you so I can talk to your guy.

[JERSEYJOE]

I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET THAT NOT ONE PERSON PICKED AS A FAVORITE YEAR, A YEAR THEY DID NOT OWN. EVERYONE THINKS THAT THEIR YEAR IS THE BEST. I HAVE A 96 BUT LIKE THE 92 BLACK ONE.

THERE I SAID IT..........

Well, I bought the year I thought was the best looking,.. when the '97 was released I was 16 so there was no way I was getting one. By the time I could afford it I was 22, but then the problem was finding one!

[Lakeshadow]

I'm going to say 92. Just for today though. Only because I just got a cool leather hat with a 92 on it. Yet I think the 97 looks sooo bad. Standing in the Limberlost looking out the picture windows at the sleds parked on the ice. I can read what it says on the side of my 97. Vmax-4.
Rock and Roll.

[RDL 93 V-MAX4]

Nice to see that there are still guys voting on the sled years. Also I like the feedback on everyones post as well.

Thanks for the participation guys.

sorry joe , you lose that bet bro! i voted for the 92 even thou i own 96 and 97 vmax's.damn! i did not bet anything!

[Kahunas]

Hmmm, which one should I vote for... hehe!!! I still like the '97. My '95 looks the meanest, but it doesn't have the stock look.

[diggerzmound]

I had to vote for the 92' I am for the all black, and why not give credit to the one that started it all!

[4with4]

I've probably posted my thoughts before as this is such an old, on-going post, but here it is again. All of them have their high points due to updates and improvements and so on. The one I beleive stands out is the 95, and not because I own one, I just happened to stumble across this sled as I was looking for one. It has the updated clutch system, the one peice driveshaft, the stronger chaincase, the updated(balanced) center drive gears, plus a bunch of other upgrades that I'm forgetting or am not aware of. BUT, the most important thing, it's the only 800 produced that was BLACK! The 96 didn't really offer anything and the 97 offered a hydraulic brake and the 11 1/2" rear skid. Just my thoughts.
