I own a 650cc Burgman Executive,with ABS, and it's a hoot to ride. I grew up riding Vespas & Lambrettas and this is the best modernized version of them. I have 9 other normal motorcycles, from a Ducati to S10 Tenere and Honda dirt bikes. I won't have keyless ignition because anyone can steal it with you in bluetooth range of it. Say sitting in a restaurant in sight of it. And I prefer the Burgmans flat rider & passengers footboards. Unlike the Yamahas foot pegs for the passenger. My big B is happy crusing at 80 to 85 mph. I enjoy the selectable transmission modes on it too!
just like how some car people are manual enthusiast, some people just deny scooters and think that motorcycle is the best thing ever, hence this line being drawn i once said that a scooter is a motorcycle and the chat group mocked me for months.
@@x2s7The issue is that some people think a sport bike is the only kind of motorcycle or “real bike” same with the cruisers because those are common bikes here in the states . Maxi scooters are looked at as inferior and non manly because according to society to be manly you have to have a big bike 😂
This is a great scooter overall. Lots of accessories from around the world. Parts and Maintainence easy to come by. But BMW C650 GT is still my choice.
I had have a 20 year old Tmax 500, very reliable. Unfortunately can’t say the same for these. I bought a tec max 2020 model, and it’s an expensive machine to keep and not as reliable. Very disappointed with it, will be down grading to a single cylinder with the traditional cam setup. I hate the keyless feature, unreliable and I lost the key and it was a pain to replace. Stay clear, not worth the money!
I like motorcycles and am saving for another... but that thing may be the third two wheel fun machine I buy if they're available in the usa cuz that thing is fuckin cool looking
I love classic motorbikes, cruisers, cafe racers... I just feel that design. But, I just cannot overlook how scooters are practical! How they handle so well on lower speeds. How they are livable, with awesome storage space, with gadgets and tech. And how comfortable they are. So, even though I love classic design of a bike, I have owned only scooters in my life. I enjoy driving them more than any type of bike ever. So relaxing.
i think you meant to say, not a big fan of either a Manual motorcycle or a Semi-manual motorcycle, then this : "automatic" motorcycle is right for you.... coz that scooter is a motorcycle as well, my friend kind of like a sedan which is also a car 😅
I did a test ride recently of that identical bike here in the United States. As you know, we have got an excellent interstate system. Let me tell you that bike rides like a rocket on rails down our interstate system I loved it.
I wouldn't advocate wearing tennis shoes while riding any kind of motorcycle or scooter. They might look good when you're rolling down the road but in a crash, they ain't going to protect your feet.
Getting a big scooter soon I ride an mt09 now just want something more comfortable put stuff in ect yes it’s not as fast but don’t care ect still moves 5 seconds to 60 ain’t slow
Scooter are not as efficient as motorcycles,because of gearbox. A DCT scooter is the best. Like Honda have. They are efficient than both,and good. But really the best feeling in my life was with motorcycle.Simple,manual;fast enough.But scooters are more practical,comfort,even in long rides.
Oooh it's far heavier, but it's more powerful and a little faster. Has more tech and more space for passengers and more features. But that's what you get when you pay more money for this vs. a Vespa 300. If you're just doing smaller commutes mainly in the city, get the Vespa
Any tmax or techmax owner can tell how is it like owning one?...i've heard that they have lots of problems?...expensive for maintainence?...idk how true...always wanted to own one...but im abit apprehensive to buy one...
lots of problems like what? how old are these bikes and what is their service history? Yamaha is known for making high quality and reliable bikes but they must have maintainence done on time to keep them running well
defeats the purpose of a motorcycle. what's the point of buying a 20k motorcycle if you can get a car for that price which is more powerful and practical. motorcycles imo only make sense around the 5-10k range otherwise just get a car
You can filter with a motorcycle, that alone is a good reason to get one, and generally speaking I'd say motorcycles are more practical, not the other way around. Though I agree 20k is an insanely high price, since a large part of the appeal of motorcycles is costing a lot less than a car.
You only like the Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive because of the speed. But, I don't like Suzuki Burgman, that's because the bike looks to bulky, and looks hard to maintain, regarding maintenance. Now, the Tmax tech is so stylish, so practical, so efficient, so fast at 562cc. The Tmax tech is without doubt so reliable, the bike takes you anywhere you wanna go.
It’s Yamaha T-Max. Tech-Max is just the top trim version of it.
There's also X-Max Tech-Max in the family. Hopefully N-Max could get the same treatment too
@@hamakaze9812I would love an Nmax 300. Would trade my Xmax 300 for it.
Correct 👍🏼
What does T , N and X stand for?
yea just wanted to add this as well

A scooter is a type of motorcycle. Saying a scooter is different from a motorcycle is like saying a sedan is different from a car.

Scooters are the road legal golf carts of the car world.
Remember the original harleys were basically based on bycicles
This is just me but i feel like he is using scooter and moped interchangeably, thats the only way i see him using scooter in that way
I bought this bike few days ago, and I'm completely amazed!
Man that thing must be fun
How much is it?
@@goldstein6025 Yes very much fun, very efficient, and very practical, and very fast against cars at traffic lights.
It's a beast. I love these bikes
@@HardawayfitsDifferent prices according to where you're from. It's 20k where I'm from. I got 2 of them. Very fast and comfortable bikes
keyless is a negative point nowadays its just makes it easy for a thief to code a new key and steal ot it😢
It ain't as easy as people make it out to be
most thieves aren't hackers but many know how to hotwire keyed ignition...
Concours 14 is keyless since 2008 and is absolutely unhackeable.
FUUUUCK me...I have been debating between scooter and motorcycle and man this looks perfect! Now gotta find price and dealer.
Peep my full review on my channel. Hint: It's expensive
Available in the US?
@@spookytook I believe the top of the line version is
In Germany 17.150 USD
This is a great scooter overall. Lots of accessories from around the world. Parts and Maintainence easy to come by. But BMW C650 GT is still my choice.
me too, but BMW discontinued the 650 GT, my second choice is X-ADV
Would buy it in a heartbeat if it wasn´t so expensive and if the fuel consumption was better...
Anywhere else in the world is cheaper than Singapore, for motor-vehicles. FML.
You hit the nail on the head!
Yup. It's overpriced. It's the same price as the Honda X-ADV but the Honda is 750cc adventure scooter with a dual clutch, the TMax is just 560cc.
I had have a 20 year old Tmax 500, very reliable.
Unfortunately can’t say the same for these.

Stay clear, not worth the money!
It is a motorcycle. Just is belt driven. Just like an automatic csr vs a manual car.
Wish they sold it in the US, I'd definitely pick one up to compliment my roadstar!
Why they don't sell them here
@@OTHMAN007Because the market for scooter is not a big as the motorcycle market.
It's called a maxi scooter and they are hella comfortable
I like motorcycles and am saving for another... but that thing may be the third two wheel fun machine I buy if they're available in the usa cuz that thing is fuckin cool looking
Least favourite feature ... the price!
Priced me into not interested.

It's a Maxie, a mid engine motorcycle..
I believe these are going to play bigger roles in transportation in the coming years.
I worked on customer's 09 Tmax 500 and posting videos on my channel right now... man I love Tmax, I wish Yamaha could get new Tmax to USA! :(
Dude I'm so pissed we don't get this amazing bike here in the states
Yes Yahama ❤❤❤ I love ❤❤❤❤
Not available in the US….of course. We get shafted with everything!
We only have the regular T-Max
Thank God, I will buy one for myself
me too
Where was this filmed? It has a beautiful landscape.
This bike is my dream and I work more than 12 hours every day to get this bike. I hope to get it one day.
i think you meant to say, not a big fan of either a Manual motorcycle or a Semi-manual motorcycle, then this : "automatic" motorcycle is right for you....
coz that scooter is a motorcycle as well, my friend
kind of like a sedan which is also a car 😅
it costs just as a car. It's madness
Cozy to ride!
This scooter looks stunning but my heart for naked bikes since it was smaller..
I’ve just picked up the Xmax Tech max 125 and omg am I in love
Lost scooter check with local police
Can you make a comparison between AK 550 and this one
Exactly what I'm looking for too
I really wanna buy this tech-max I but i really wanted the kymco 550 which one should I buy?
T-max
Price?
I did a test ride recently of that identical bike here in the United States. As you know, we have got an excellent interstate system. Let me tell you that bike rides like a rocket on rails down our interstate system I loved it.
How is that possible? Yamaha doesn't sell the TMAX in the United States.
@@jrfike2000 yeah only in 2009 :(
Being in the US it has to be the Kymco AK550 for me. Can't buy this. Same for Honda Forza 750. I think they call it Forza in Europe.
I wouldn't advocate wearing tennis shoes while riding any kind of motorcycle or scooter. They might look good when you're rolling down the road but in a crash, they ain't going to protect your feet.
I don't like the access to the gas tank while it's off. Should take a key. All it'll take a is a kid and a bag of sugar.
Im really liking that semiautomatic Honda
20 g's, I can buy a new road king for that kind of dough.
Yes you Can but this is Better
Probably faster than the Road King.
Just a Dream
Stop revving any scooter while holding them up. . Your gonna destroy the clutch parts.
Uhhhh USA Please and Thank You!
Would make a lot of sense there
I feel like a key would be better, bc some can easily run off with your bike
motorcycle approved in America is a hassle for this one😅
As fast as a motorcycle, but I've only ridden LAMS bikes? Wait till you see the dark side Luke.
Getting a big scooter soon I ride an mt09 now just want something more comfortable put stuff in ect yes it’s not as fast but don’t care ect still moves 5 seconds to 60 ain’t slow
Great scooter, crazy price !
i noticed the jacket. where can i get one?
What I don’t like is that the trunk is small and opens in the opposite direction as other scooters.
Yep only room for 1 helmet and it's thirsty ..50 mpg ..not good enough for me at that price
Why are these “maxi” scoots not available in the good ole US!?
Nice!
Why do we get cheated in the USA? Yamaha bring this to the U.S. and I’d buy it tomorrow
Price??????
peep my full review on the channel for the in depth details
Good & expensive to others?
So where is the battery ?
Love it !!! Fear it's too big.
Best scooter is BMW 400 gt❤
Thats Not even 400cc but 350. Its not made by BMW but by Loncin in China. The price is ridiculously high so you're just paying for the brand.
Is this sold in the USA?
Nope u guys are definitely missing out
Give me this in a 3 wheel…..
Too bad we can't get this in the us
Since 90's Yamaha now UPGRADE N-MAX SUAVE.
Scooter are not as efficient as motorcycles,because of gearbox.
A DCT scooter is the best.
Like Honda have.
They are efficient than both,and good.
But really the best feeling in my life was with motorcycle.Simple,manual;fast enough.But scooters are more practical,comfort,even in long rides.
560cc sounding like that... sad
How do you think this compares to a 2023 Vespa GTS 300?
Oooh it's far heavier, but it's more powerful and a little faster. Has more tech and more space for passengers and more features. But that's what you get when you pay more money for this vs. a Vespa 300. If you're just doing smaller commutes mainly in the city, get the Vespa
Nice scooter, but way to expensive
India me nahi chalega kyu ke fuel tank keyless hai to india me koy bhi tanki me se fuel chori kar lenga 😂😂😂😂
Woow I need to get this, but no money to get it
Nmax 155 turbo hybrid:
Be great if it's not made for small people, with leg room
#ohhellnaw, price probable crazy
Any tmax or techmax owner can tell how is it like owning one?...i've heard that they have lots of problems?...expensive for maintainence?...idk how true...always wanted to own one...but im abit apprehensive to buy one...
lots of problems like what? how old are these bikes and what is their service history? Yamaha is known for making high quality and reliable bikes but they must have maintainence done on time to keep them running well
Never heard a single word about them being unreliable, servicing isn't cheap though as is the case with any premium machinery.
T-max 530 all day every day 🔥
i want that
So... The techmax is what mpg?!
I almost regret getting a bike over a scooter lol
Honda xadv 750 is faster than that ,but i consider the diff.of their cc
Do we have this in canada?
How many gallon of gas? And what type of gas
Wow amazing
Very nice.
Tmax!!! Is half and half
What do you mean?
defeats the purpose of a motorcycle. what's the point of buying a 20k motorcycle if you can get a car for that price which is more powerful and practical. motorcycles imo only make sense around the 5-10k range otherwise just get a car
Errr...name a car that is more powerful, etc than a BMW K1600 for the same money?
@@user-io2et5bv2s any car. cars have bigger engines with higher kw. you are referring to acceleration
You can filter with a motorcycle, that alone is a good reason to get one, and generally speaking I'd say motorcycles are more practical, not the other way around. Though I agree 20k is an insanely high price, since a large part of the appeal of motorcycles is costing a lot less than a car.
Tmax is not available in USA. I had to settle with xmax
Is this available in U.S?
No :(
Keyless start , easily stolen
And easily broken in a couple years
And easily a masssive bill to repair
Whats the top speed and how fast from 0 to 100km
Top speed around 180kph (112mph) and 0-100kph in around 6 seconds
@@Watson2108For a 550 cc, I think it has higher top speed
And of course the u.s does not get these...I want one
probably really easy to import?
I'm just not a fan of people buying scooters that are BLACK and running around at night. JMHO
I want MPG not how fast it goes. Going fast costs $$$
And then it starting raining lol.😂😂😂😂
it actually did
very good motorcycle.. like it...
Got to do better to beat a Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive. Good effort though...but no banana.
You only like the Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive because of the speed. But, I don't like Suzuki Burgman, that's because the bike looks to bulky, and looks hard to maintain, regarding maintenance. Now, the Tmax tech is so stylish, so practical, so efficient, so fast at 562cc. The Tmax tech is without doubt so reliable, the bike takes you anywhere you wanna go.
Is the scooter automatic or CVT
cvt
Needs a back seat
Gonna have to do with my old silverwing 400.
Xmax is 215.000Dkk / 29.000 euros 😂
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa that’s dumb
That’s unrea you could buy a car and a motorcycle both for that
@@rustypotatos yep its fucked up. Denmark is fucked up
Yep, Denmark is dumb
Can you turbo it?
If there is a will, there is a way.
Why can’t scooters be 650cc-850cc any more?
Why? Honda X-ADV 750?
Price
£13.5k? Don't bloody think so, mate!
Once you have it you would take back those words. The bike is so great.
How much
nice bike.
It's a "Scooter" lol
@@johnwgibson24 So its not a bike? how many wheels does it have?
bikers call mc's bikes,too.. ride safe.. 👍
Leider viel zu hoch deswegen fahre ich den Forza 750.
