2002 Yamaha VMAX Custom Action Film Camera Bike

This one-of-a-kind 2002 Yamaha VMAX is far more than just a motorcycle its a purpose-built action filming machine with an incredible history and only 3,700 original miles.

Built around the legendary VMAX platform, this custom bike was professionally outfitted for action movie production work, featuring fully fabricated side-mounted stunt and filming platforms designed specifically for cinematic camera operation. Every attachment and support structure was custom engineered to integrate with the bike while maintaining the aggressive styling and performance the VMAX is known for.

The motorcycle includes upgraded front forks for improved stability and handling, especially important during low-speed tracking shots and controlled filming sequences. The custom side platforms were designed to safely support camera operators and specialized filming equipment during production work, making this an exceptionally rare and functional piece of movie-production engineering.

Unlike heavily used production vehicles, this VMAX shows just 3,700 miles, preserving the originality and condition of the machine while still carrying the unique character of its film industry past.

Highlights include:

2002 Yamaha VMAX Carbon
Only 3,700 original miles
Custom-built action movie filming motorcycle
Professionally fabricated side-mounted filming platforms w/air shocks
Custom bike attachment system
Upgraded Unit front fork setup
Rare production-use motorcycle
Unique collector and conversation piece
Combines classic VMAX muscle-bike styling with Hollywood film history

The Yamaha VMAX has long been respected for its unmistakable presence, powerful V4 engine, and muscle-bike heritage. This example takes that reputation even further with a truly unique background that cannot be duplicated.

Whether displayed as a collectors piece, used for promotional events, or appreciated for its rare custom fabrication work, this VMAX stands out as an extraordinary blend of motorcycle culture and movie-production history.



Easy to modify to sidecar as well from this customer attachment.
 
I'm full of great ideas. This trike was going to be great for rallies and ride-ins where food would be required...

I have no idea if these bikes are any good or not, but I'm tempted every time I see one of them up for sale (which, fortunately, isn't very often). There's just something cool to me about a kick start only single. Somebody please buy this sucker before I have to have a conversation with my wife...then let me take it for a spin.

I consider them to be excellent bikes. Unfortunately, they did not sell very well. The same year four cylinder bikes were beside them on the showroom floor and the four cylinder was cheaper.

Can't be. I do all my AutoCAD drawing in the HOUSE...

...then again, my wyfe is always complaining about the smell of gas in the garage... (we keep 5 bikes here at the house)
 
Exploring stage of "new to me" bike. What's scary, on my Facebook marketplace, I'm familiar with 1st 3 bikes. Wouldn't touch any of them. Makes me wonder about the rest of them.:duck:
 
I’ve been casually looking for an older, air cooled 2 valve Monster. You would be shocked to hear how many owners have no idea of the maintenance requirements for these bikes.
