I have Tmax530 from 2016. Scooter is amazing but only problem is that here in Croatia police stop me all the time,cos only criminals using together with Suzuki Burgman.
😂😂😂
Lol , its perfect for shooters
Great mega scooter, ridiculous pricing..
I commute to work every day in my ZX6-R and one of the few good things this miserable pandemic has brought is open highways, I go over 100mph every day.
lol, when he said that i was like....ummm i open the taps on my liter bike and uber naked on the daily.
I have an xmax 300 and it does 150kph and you can fit two full sized crash helmets under the seat.
I ended up selling my Tmax. The size and power were too much for what I needed it for. I went to xmax which does everything the tmax does, but a little slower. Great review.
The xmax is smaller though isn't it? If the rider space was identical but only the engine smaller, I'd definitely go for an xmax instead, but I'm really tall so need every bit of space I can get my hands on.
@@ergo8039 yes, maybe 30 percent smaller and feels much lighter. I do miss the tmax speed on the highway, but overall the xmax works best in heavy city traffic.
i have the xmax 2021 but in the future i will go for the tmax techmax
@@ergo8039 I have an xmax 400 and it's about the same size as a tmax, a little bit smaller and a little bit slower too
When you consider a E- mountain bike is nearly 6k these days.12,700 Euro here in Ireland otr for the top spec tmax.
Thieves love these
I live in us they dont steal scooters. If you ride a scooter in America your a pussy. (Source i ride a scooter in us)
Lord Aniz I guess he s talking about thieves who steal using T Max not Thieves who steal bikes. As I come from French hoods, I can tell you there are a lot of thieves who steal/ deliver drugs using these beasts. Police never catchem
Same as Greece
@@hrizey same in Morocco
@Anton Babani have Suzuki burgman 400 its like siting on a coach you can even put feet up
Awesome bike, nice review, facing practicality... I like changing gears though and I have to sell my Marauder
I personally have nothing against maxi scooters apart from the pricing. Over 12k for crying out loud! I have an 18 plate Versys 1000 which cost 4k less so how can you honestly justify the price for a maxi scooter? I am genuinely interested in finding out where the costs come from...
its a luxury item. but i agree with you 100%
Comfort, practicality....and more comfort.
This bike is very popular in north Africa people are attracted to these more than sports bike
My new Tracer 900 was only £7499...agree with you there...way overpriced, as is the Honda ADV one-which I want!
Song at 0:08: Grindavik - Thankful
Seems like it doesnt exist on CZcams though or I just couldn't find it on there
Why do we only get these in such dull colours now? Used to be yellow, white as options (mine was white).
Also, when will Yamaha bring out a full power version, not just an A2 version? All that sporty suspension, slightly wasted; the power and talk will fall further behind class average when the Forza 750 comes out - important for those of us that ride with a pillion.
I wonder why the forks look bent on the video?
Where can I buy one ? I looked on the Yamaha website and can’t find them or are they only in Europe? Am in key west Florida. please help
Doesn't look like the US will get them
Nice bike but it's £5,000 over priced!
I'll stick to my Honda 300 Forza, £4,500 otr a fantastic scooter.
I'd really like the reintroduction of the Honda Silver wing. Incidentally I have a Honda Forza 300cc scooter myself. Super scooter.
I ride an xmax 400 and I just can’t justify the £6000 difference as the performance is not that much better. Such a beautiful scooter but way overpriced..London is it the safest place to have a brand new tmax unfortunately
I will love to get the bike
I would buy this if we got it in California. Very practical scooter.
same in texas, i just realized its like a budget goldwing dct
YAMAHA! Still waiting for an 800GT version with 16" wheels.
They are making?
When was the last time I did 100mph on my bike....hmm what’s the time ?
That was a ridiculous question from him, we do it almost every time, even if not, acceleration is much stronger. But I still like tmax and other sport maxi scooters, they are amazing practical and comfortable.
T max or Bergman?
These things are stupid fast because I'm just actually planning on importing one from Japan to Canada at some point in time my life but the only problem is that I can definitely only buy the 500 because I have a 15 year old rule in importing cars from Japan to Canada
Pricewise these are expensive but nobody balks at paying about double for a Gold Wing.
Don't think of it as a large moped, rather a small Gold Wing. There's a lot of tech and engineering in a big scooter.
I was recently at a motorcycle show and was blown back at what a liter sports bike costs. As much as a car. Nobody bitches about that tho.
Yeah, you just can‘t compare it with a standard motorcycle. It‘s in a class of its own.
Just like you can‘t compare a 25k sportsbike with a car for the same price, you need to look at the 1000hp hyper cars for that😜
@@Watson2108 Tru dat. My brother just bought a 500 T-Max. The thing is a beast. I had a drag race with him with my 250 Honda Helix and was stunned when I stayed even with him to 30+ mph. Riding the T-Max made my Helix feel like a toy by comparison.
I own Japanese naked motorcycles in the 115 rwhp range. You need a very expensive sports car to beat them.
Maxi scooters are great but the TMax is crazy money. You can pick up a cracking maxi scooter for 4k.
I would have liked the video. But they missed to review the underseat storage.
At least in North America, I wonder what conspires against scooters and electric motorcycles: Hubris or habits? Or both?
I'd say looks. I'm sure they're very good bikes, but scooters look well like scooters !
Great scooter but waaaaaay too expensive. Why not just take a Honda NC750X with the CBT?
Er, did you mean compulsory basic training, or perhaps DCT? But you are right if you meant DCT. Probably need a big top box on the Honda but you will have plenty of money saved (because the NC750X DCT is £7800) to buy that, heated grips and a heated jacket. You wouldn't get the adjustable screen though. I'd guess you will get much better fuel consumption on the Honda, longer service intervals. 8K miles for the Honda and 6.2K miles for the scoot with a replacement of the vbelt every 12.4K miles. (I did have to replace my OEM chain and sprockets at 8K miles on my NCT, but I am hopeful the next chain will last a lot longer.). I get over 74mpg when riding theNMC750 X DCT hard and around 84mpg when riding gently. So the Honda will probably be cheaper to run too. Range at 84 mps is around 260 miles+ with reserve.
Yeah, I completely agree, if I wanted an auto bike, I'd have a Honda NC750X with DCT . I had a test ride of one, it was pretty good and as Steve Bolton says, a real lot cheaper. The only issue I could find with the Honda is the fuel tank could have been a bit bigger.
Anyway, I've got a Triumph Speed Twin. Put that in second gear and apart from a little bit of clutch control it's almost like an automatic up to about 35 MPH. It can pull away in second and can get to around 35 MPH !!!
Low center of gravity, smaller tyres, no chain, CVT, lower running costs, nimble. I currently ride a PCX150, perfect around town, not so nice on the longer trips, then again I don't do more than 50kms one way and rarely ride over 100kph.. I'll wait until I can get the 2020 TMax as a demo or 2-3 year old.
Will it be sold in the U$A ?
Earl Baker doesn’t look like it!
A shame we can't get that here in the USA.
Deadly colour on a grey, rainy day, or at night.
Yes, it seems every scooter manufactur makes them in miserable colours
awesome
One of the best scooter
Nice T max
Superb available 👌 in India
Can I get tmax 🤤
Price?
15,000
Lucky For Those Who Have and Can Afford This.......Not Even A Bicycle....I Cant Afford It😔
xmax 300 is good enough!
Cross of cruiser and scooter ... Cruister
Damn, this scoot looks like Maserati on to wheels.
Be honest with yourself
🤑🤩🤯😎
Hell, it's a Yamaha. Where's the faster than hell (Honda?) 2 stroke version?
I miss Yamaha 2 strokes.
If you remember Honda 2strokes you must be older than me.
it look alike cbr grand daddy
T max. Best
Adams got a new job? And let's be honest, we all know he wouldn't be seen dead on this...
Unlike Neevesy and any serious riders.
Seen him on 44 Teeth , new media v old I guess
@@domster200 lmao u guys sound so Old SeRiOUs riders
@@silentinvestor Just VERY experienced Malcolm.
@@domster200 who gives a shi.t if your experienced a tmax is top luxury with loads of baggage space and beautiful exterior. and fast enough for most
Yamaha t max 125cc me lunch karo God luking india
Looks good and very practical, but doesn't look as good as my either Speed Twin or Street Triple !
It's not so much about getting my knee down. I'm pretty useless at that, I do like to look at a bike and think "Wow that looks good" . Scooters NEVER do that for me.
2020 Triumph Rocket 3 GT all the way!
@@osamabinladen824 Yeah, I do love the Rocket 3 look. Unfortunately I don't have a big enough shed, a spare £20K, or Arnie Schwarzeneggers muscles to push it around !
14200€ !!!!!!!!👎
Fun fact:You searched this!
If you cant do basic maintenance yrself like a beltchange, youll be in for a financial disaster.
A little expensive!! 😄
To get one that’s affordable, seems that you need to go back 5-6 years with 10k miles on it.
Too expensive for a scoot
Kuyumcu motoru
Great scooter but the X-Max looks so much better imo
Are You serious?
This Art Is Not For The English People
Kymco AK 550 is way to advance than this 😅
Yamaha is waaay superior...
honda is better
It is ugly
