It's a 1985 Yamaha V-Max. 1985 is the first and rarest year. 140BHP in 85 only, Yamaha dropped output to 100BHP for 86 and 90BHP for 87-06 for insurance reasons.
This thing sounds frickin' awesome!!! (Think nitro-burning funnycar ;) )
That is a file photo, mine is painted Plymouth Prowler orange

Well... I did not know that .. 140HP.. in 1985 is pretty good..
I might just look for one myself..
I'll bet you can get more horses out of that thing..
What is other bikes that comes with over 130hp.. that are older..(Cruisers only)?

Shit you got my dream muscle bike. I think you got the HP wrong. The bike remain 145HP at the crank from 85-2006. I know at the wheel it is only 90-100 hp. It is still a 10 sec bike and insurance is cheap as hell on it. What were you riding before?
