Yamaha VMax by Hermes

With its four-cylinder engine and brushed metalwork, Yamaha didn't have to do much to the VMax to make us want it any more than we already do. But then they went ahead and created this beauty.

The result of a collaboration between Yamaha and Hermès, this one-of-a-kind VMax has been decked out in the finest buffalo skin, covering everything from head lamp to tail pipe. Unveiled at a motorcycle exposition in Germany, it's not the first time the two powerhouses have collaborated, Hermès having similarly decked out a Virago cruiser back some fifteen years ago. But it sure is the most awesome.
