The Yamaha V-Max is pretty much a two-wheeled muscle car, and many people have had a hard time keeping them on two wheels. Solution: add another wheel? Sure, according to Tilting Motor Works. Starting with Legos before moving on to something more substantial, Bob Mighell designed a new front end for the Yamaha V-Max, one that is capable of leaning into corners but offering more grip for cornering and braking purposes. Removing the front forks and tightening eight bolts will transform your bike into a really big Piaggio MP3. Whether that is a good thing or not is up to you.

Speaking of the MP3, that and concepts such as the Yamaha Tesseract prove that people are thinking of making the single-track of the motorcycle into a dual or triple-track. If it allows people who'd like to ride the chance to do so, we're all for it.

Spelled it wrong again Pedro. It's bemused more than confused.

V-Max? A two wheeled muscle car? It is to laugh. Who wrote that?

Not you Pedro.

I'll chase some that I like. I'll be back.

Just a couple of observations Shorty,,,

Its the only VMAX I've ever seen with a screen,,

It would be a VERY wet bike in the rain,,

Must be an odd feeling having TWO front wheels in the air,,

The only one I've ridden had an after market dinky screen.

Back wheels in the air is not good.

Here are some links to oddball kits and conversions.
I like the Rowphant, by the Scamp Motor Company.

Most are a Morgan replica with either a Honda CX500 drive train or the original Citroen CV2.

The newer more modern designs usually graft a double wishbone rack and pinnion front end, onto a big bore Jap bike main frame. Take the front forks off and just drop the bike onto the post, and bolt down.

Sort of like these.

The Stinson Sting, I love these things, low sleek, FAST.

Edit; testing attachments.
Nope still not working.

Edit; Unca Inc says is fixed, I try.

Beautiful. Hand built Jag V12 anyone? It's green, and that should be me sitting in it.
