Plan and Share Your Rides
Found the perfect backroad to share with your riding buddies? Or perhaps you’re planning a cross-country trip and looking to avoid as much interstate as possible. With the zūmo 660’s powerful trip planning tools, you can create your custom routes via computer and then transfer your saved route directly to your zūmo. And when you’ve returned home, you can review your rides in Google™ Earth. In addition, microSD™ card expansion makes it easy for sharing routes and adding storage.
You can also visit zūmo Connect – our online community of routes and riders. It’s a great resource for finding new rides and planning trips.
Move Between Modes
Just because your bike’s parked doesn’t mean your day is done. The zūmo 660 also pulls double duty as an in-car navigator when you’re on four wheels instead of two. In addition to the included motorcycle mount, the zūmo 660 also includes a carrying case, vehicle mount and power cable. It’s like having two full-featured navigators for the price of one.

1986 Yamaha V-Max 1200 The Muscle Bike

1986 Yamaha V-Max, The Legend Of Muscle Bike
V-Max 1200 has been on the market with only minor modifications since the 1985 model year, making it one of the best-selling Japanese motorcycles of all time.
The engine was based on a powerplant from the company’s Venture touring bike but with numerous modifications, the compression ratio was raised to 10.5:1 and the V-Boost system was added, allowing great low-end torque along with 145 peak horsepower.
V-Boost is a patented System from Yamaha which opens butterfly valves between the manifolds of the 1st and 2nd and between the 3rd and 4th cylinder starting from 5750 rpm. The valves are opened gradually to match the rising rotational speed signal provided by the ignition system. The valves are at the full open position at 8000 rpm. There is a small black box that reads the rotational speed and sends a computed signal to a servo motor. The servo pulls a wire to open the butterfly valves. The V-Boost System adds 10 percent to the top power rating of the base engine.
