    1. For Daily commute (Non-clutch or cvt bike for enjoying ride in traffic jam)
    2. Touring Bike - DCT gearbox.. (Long disctance/Balik kampung)
    3. Scrambler/dirt for sport activity

    2:08 If you want to know how many bikes you should have, the formula is P=X+1.
    P is the perfect number of bikes for you, and X is the number of bikes you currently own.
    Therefore you always need just one more. 😁

    Been riding a Tmax530DX for past 4 yrs. Used it for daily commuting in Sg, several trips to MY (mostly Malacca) and a trip to Betong TH. This maxi scooter is great for relax touring with it's setup and accessories, which is what it was designed for. Being a 530cc, it weighs almost as much as my previous bike, Varadero XLV1000 but only produces half of the power which is logical (half the cc, half the power). It will never be able to match the 'fast and furious' touring but it was not designed to do that in the 1st place. My riding friends were accommodating to me as they understand my scooter and my absence from riding for 15yrs. They took turns to be sweeper so I would not be left behind while they still have fun with their need for speed and clear some carbon. Riding to your destination with this scooter in a comfortable and relaxing pace while enjoying the scenery is what it's designed for, with a little bit of oomph for that short burst of acceleration. A great scoot for relax touring and daily commute!

    did a long trip with a 2009 Tmax from the Netherlands to Chech Republic and 2200km in a long weekend and performed perfectly well, last day did direct in one go 950km was physically tough but perfectly doable on the Autobahn at 140/150km/h average. Only issue is that i don't find the Tmax very economical or comfortable. Better with a BMW C650GT definitely for long highway driving.

    Thanks for the review. Being from America and my last bike was a Honda CBR-1100XX do you think I will be disappointed with the TMax performance and might like the Honda X ADV750 better? I’m in the Philippines now.

    • @tri333ple
      @tri333ple  Před 3 měsíci

      It's 2 different classes of bikes to begin with. If you are expecting the torque to be close to cbr1100xx, then I would say yes, you will be disappointed. But if you compare the handling of tmax, you will be surprised with the tmax. If high torque is what you are looking for in a scooter, then xadv might suit you better. Winston

    3) BMW GS - for northbound touring to Hatyai and above. Tall and slim-ish profile compared to FJR, GoldWing and the like, perfect for splitting at high speeds. Will change to Road 6 tyres for maximum pleasure for road touring.
    4) Ducati V4R - essential sports bike to play and speed around, weekend bike
    5) PMD Fiido - to blast music at 3am whilst doing Grab delivery 😂

    Bud the negative off yamaha is this . Brake disk still rusting so no rvs.
    And maintenance is expensive and it uses way to much gasoline.
    Honda is way better in all those things.
    So my tmax is going out and replace it wih a new honda .
    The problems with a honda are always the back springs, there horrible. On like the pcx, the forza and alot off scooters.
    As i am a professional motorcycle mecanic i will do a complaint to honda.
    Besides that, honda is still number one in the motorcycle world.
    And keep in mind that in the scooter world.
    Honda makes everything them selves and it,s great.
    Piaggio is is second i say as a mecanic.
    Then yamaha.
    Then something every one should now.
    A bmw scooter and Kawasaki scooter ,the engine is made by kymco,
    Kymco is from honda so you get old Technic from honda on your bmw ore Kawasaki scooter.
