Checked
Three of sixteen VX model years verified, which needs a check against the maker's own document, which the row names, and an engine figure; all sixteen name a source below.

Some Yamaha numbers are measured sizes rather than the number in the model name: a GP760 is held as 753, a GP1200R as 1131, a GP1300R as 1296. None of these figures has been checked against a Yamaha document unless a cited source states it.

Not your year? For other VX years: VX Cruiser, 2007 to now; VX Deluxe, 2007 to now; VX Cruiser HO, 2016 to now; VX Limited, 2016 to 2017, 2022 to now; VX Limited HO, 2022 to now.

2015 1052 Fuel injection Four-stroke Sit-down The VX platform redesigned, and the model year Yamaha's RiDE dual throttle control reaches the FX and VX ranges. The 1052 figure is Yamaha's own but comes from a 2013 document, so it is carried across two years. 2
2016 verified 1049 Fuel injection Four-stroke Sit-down The VX moves to the three cylinder TR-1 engine. The join here is by engine name rather than by year: Yamaha's 2016 entry names the engine and Yamaha's VX specification page says what that engine is. That page carries no model year. Confirmed 2026-10-02 by the Yamaha Motor USA model page cited, which prints 1049cc and sits under the site's 2016 category heading, so the year join no longer rests on the engine name alone. 3
2017 1052 Fuel injection Four-stroke Sit-down Yamaha's own parts catalogue for Canada lists this machine for 2017 under the model name "VX". 1
Nothing recorded from 2018 to 2021

2026 verified 1049 Fuel injection Four-stroke Sit-down Yamaha's own parts catalogue for Canada lists this machine for 2026 under the model name "VX". 6
2027 verified 1049 Fuel injection Four-stroke Sit-down Yamaha Motor Canada's own 2027 model page lists this machine as "2027 VX" under the code 2027-VX1050, and prints the displacement, so the row is verified on that page. 7
