2025 Yamaha VX Limited Review: The Top-Spec WaveRunner for Serious Riders
By Salem Hassan6 min readJune 24, 2026Updated June 24, 2026
Overview
The 2025 Yamaha VX Limited is the most-equipped model below the GP and FX performance tiers. It's aimed at riders who want the best riding experience money can buy in the VX segment without moving into the high-output supercharged class—delivering premium comfort, connectivity, and handling.
Premium Features
The VX Limited adds to the VX Deluxe foundation with genuine leather-accented seat upholstery, a premium Yamaha audio system with Bluetooth connectivity, tinted windscreen, and color-matched premium trim. The attention to detail in the fit and finish is noticeably superior to lower VX trims.
Electronics Suite
Building on the VX Deluxe's touchscreen display, the VX Limited adds a more comprehensive GPS navigation system and Yamaha's full suite of riding assistance technologies: No Wake Mode, Cruise Assist (adjustable speed hold), and Reverse with Intuitive Deceleration Electronics (RIDE system).
Performance
The TR-1 HO engine provides the same approximately 100 hp output as other VX models. Top speed is 53–55 mph. The VX Limited's extended platform and hull refinements deliver the smoothest, most planted ride in the standard VX range.
Fuel & Range
The 18.5-gallon fuel tank provides significantly longer range than most competitors in this class. At cruise speed, expect 2–3 hours of riding between fill-ups—making the VX Limited suitable for full-day outings on larger lakes or coastal bays.
Bottom Line
The 2025 Yamaha VX Limited is the best VX-tier WaveRunner for buyers who want maximum features without stepping into the supercharged FX range. It rewards riders who prioritize comfort, connectivity, and long-range capability.
