Yamaha tmax review

[@regwilkinson9731]

I love motorbikes. I have always hung shit on scooters but limited leg bend and an ageing body has forced a re-think. Now, after 28 motorbikes and countless Tmax reviews, there is a 2022 Tmax techmax in the garage. Never thought I'd say this, but I really like it! The Tmax is truly a revelation. I am more than happy with it and do not regret my decision for a minute.

[@johnpilling741]

Purchased a 2021 T Max after watching your last review on the 2021 model. Just preparing to go on Sunday to the Highlands of Scotland touring on it. I’ve ridden many different bikes over the years but this really puts a smile on my face. Low speed or higher it just does the job with comfort. Even my wife wants to tour around Europe next year on it so that’s saying something. Compared to some of the bigger new touring bikes 12k for this is a bargain. Great review Mark.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks John yes these really are a superb ride

Best review I've seen in a while.

[@lestersmyth692]

During 40 years of riding bikes I have never been the least interested in Scooters ……. Wow I may have just become a convert - what a machine. Sun visor over the TFT screen is a nice touch, the addition of hand guards would be useful otherwise very well equipped. Thanks for an excellent review Mark 👍

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Les once you ride one you'll be hooked !!

[@dean-does-stuff-81]

I am a scooter fan boy, I have to admit. There are so many advantages to scooters over regular bikes in my opinion. I highly advise a test ride... they are just so fun and practical... ( even if this bike is a lot of money, I think it is worth it)

[@afrobritguy7824]

Wow this was a fantastic review Mark, thank you for this! I am actually sold. The review was very thorough and detailed indeed. I don't normally leave comments but you really did a good job here.

Thanks, Mark. Superb. Well done. My local dealer says he quickly sold the only one Yamaha sent him and that it’s unlikely he will get any more in this year.

Roll on a couple of years to 2023 and these things are edging £14000 - even more if you add on a topbox! Certainly not cheap but for me, extortionate.

Unfortunately the bike thiefs love this scooter as well in London. This is my dream scooter but would be scared riding it in London 😮 very nice review as always

Hi Mark, super review again! Chopping in my Tmax DX for this one. I've also test ridden the same model you reviewed (probably that very one!) and have to say it's a totally different experience. The handling is so much sharper and just feels alot more sportier although still mega comfortable. Cannot wait to get on it!

[@markpulling12]

Hi Nigel I'll have a look if there is a dealer local to me cheers mark

[@dean-does-stuff-81]

Almost certain that I will be getting one of these for my next bike. I will be in the market in about 18 months time for a new bike and this is the top of my list at the moment. I have the honda forza 350 (2021) and it really is a fantastic bike, especially for the money. but there are some areas where the honda falls down some what. especially the suspension. But the storage is amazing on the honda, but there are some things missing, like cruise control, heated grips, (the screen just isnt quite as good as it should be) and no parking brake. All of those things are addressed on the t max, and more.... cant wait to ride one....

[@ZedTee190]

Undoubtedly a fine machine, will all the tech, bells & whistles you'll ever need. But the price! Seems a bit steep. You can get the Honda NT1100 for less, or a bit more with the DCT. But, as always, a good, unbiased review by Mark

[@antonoat]

Good review Mark. £12k seems a lot for a scooter, I guess this is actually more motorcycle than conventional scooter in reality, it certainly comes with masses of kit!

[@timbounds7190]

Great review as always Mark. Not sure if this version is actually a significant enough upgrade over my 2017 model - its fundamentally the same, just more bells & whistles. But a new one isn't really an option anyway as there are now NO Yamaha dealers within feasible reach of me. But when I see videos like yours and ride mine, you do get tempted!

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Tim ....yes I'd say stick with yours.... love the tmax !!

[@Dr4g0nW00d]

Stunning looking scooter

[@ssoffshore5111]

I've had a 2010 (?) version for years. It doesn't look like they've changed much, but the 2022 does have some nice refinements. Of which the only one I'd actually love to have is that adjustable windscreen. I'm 5' 11" and the stock one on mine is too low to keep my eyes and ears out of the wind without ducking down. Not a big deal, but on longer rides at highway speeds, or in cool weather, I'd love to have a slightly taller windscreen. Adjustable would be even better. I think I bought mine slightly used back in 2015 for around $2500, which now seems like even more of a deal compared to the price of a new one at 5x the price, lol! I'd highly recommend any of them from 2009 up to the latest model, great scooters!

[@markpulling12]

Thanks yes these are amazing scooters...I'd love one cheers mark

[@Sunny8888]

Yes . . . It is a superb scooter indeed. That said, a bit pricey though. But at the end of the day it is tough to beat. I own an XMax 300 and know what you mean about the wide seat. It is quite comfortable though. You just have to be focused when putting your feet down at stops. TBH I'm quite pleased with my 300 and at half the price of the 560 it checks most of the boxes IMHO. I wouldn't use cruise control. However I do intend to upgrade to Michelin City Grips in due time. I digress . . .. I noticed the TFT is all new. . . Wow!!! Judging by how responsive my 300 is I truly can imagine the sense of torque and acceleration of the 560 on your video. The XMax 300 is a tough act to follow but have to say the TMax 560 clearly has succeeded to justify the bump in price. It definitely gives the Burgman 650 and big Forza a run for the money. Nice job again by Yamaha!

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Jeff ...I really enjoyed the 300 ..very impressed by it's turn of speed ...tbh I'd say the 560 is too much for certain situations like town work or slow speeds ....the 300 class is definitely the sweet spot Best regards mark

[@jimmymedia2049]

Nice to see reviews coming out. Just picked up mine last week down here in Australia, prob one of the first in country. It’s wide like a horse, bit heavy but not much an issue when riding, acceleration pretty good leaves cars standing, not far off the big bikes up to 100. Suspension is very good. Only small issue so far is Garmin nav doesn’t work wirelessly but it’s supposed to prob a bug so have to plug it in. TMax unit can connect multiple helmets which is nice. Music doesn’t tell which song is playing, still working a few things out. I did find a lot of wind buffering on 110kph motorway more than expected im used to smaller scooters and getting pushed around a bit but this was more than expected maybe because I had a passenger at the time. And mirrors are not convex and stick out far so that’s a shame prob have to upgrade them

[@smallgraham]

The Tmax Techmax is a superb scooter from Yamaha. I had a 2012 500 that was a good bike, then a Ducati Xdiavel and now back to the 23/24 Tmax. Tech in a scooter at its best. I tried the Forza 750, but that isn’t in the same league as the Yamaha. Great video Mark.

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks I appreciate that 😊

[@geoff6942]

Just a 'heads-up' for older riders. 220kg is heavy. I had the Forza 750, (235kg), and at age 66, couldn't cope with the weight parking and wheeling it around at home. If I was younger, and fitter, the TMax or Forza 750 would be my choice. Fuel consumption 55-60mpg (UK) not as good as Forza 750 70mpg 'though.

[@spikey2740]

This may be a trivial point, but you didn't mention the shade helping shield the TFT screen from the sun. Others have complained about bikes having none, but this appears to be included in the price.

[@lacmac7600]

As usual, excellent video. I'm trying to decide between this or Honda Xadv 750/Forza 750. I know you tested all of them. Which would you go for?

[@markpulling12]

Hi they are all great but I found the t Max to be the most fun ...the Forza would probably be the slightly better tourer due to its relaxed engine but for everyday use the t Max all the way best wishes mark

[@kmb957]

Fantastic scooter! I would love to trade my Burgman 200 for one of these if they were available in the USA.

[@toriasummers2670]

Thanks for a great video. How would this compare to the no longer produced Suzuki Burgman 650 - if you've ridden one of those? I used to have a 650 but stupidly sold it and really miss it now. This Yammy seems to offer a similar spec (other than not quite so much tech!). Seriously contemplating this one now! My only hesitation would be a) the price and b) the seat height and width. I was pretty much flat footed on my Burgman but don't think I would be on this - I think I really would be on tiptoes! I am also around 5ft 7 but not sure of my inside leg measurement!

[@markpulling12]

Hi toria ...yes I had a burgman 650 for a day very impressive ...the t max has much better handling and is much nippier ...agree they are expensive new but are amazing to ride ...yes you will be on tip toes like me ...maybe try and get a mint year old one and save a couple of thousand best wishes mark

Lovely review as always. Im torn between Xadv and tmax 2022. Im the same height as you, what would you say, which one fit you better?

I had a DCT NC 750 Honda for commuting...I found after a while it only got used for that...No street cred , not exciting enough for a Sunday blast.If I purchased a T max .it would get the same use as the NC Honda for the same reasons.

[@ca2269]

Wondered if you were going to go over the differences other than just the screen and specs. Had hoped to get an idea of whether it's worth going for the older year and try to get a little cheaper priced option if it's actually the same riding experience.

[@markpulling12]

Yes it's the same to ride so might be worth getting a good used one and save a small fortune Best wishes mark

Hi yes just normal size boots Cheers mark

[@gazzertrn]

Wonder what its like two up , though the range is a bit short .But other than that a cool bike ,i like it .

[@markpulling12]

I'd say it's very comfortable for a passenger especially with a top box :)

[@shadowdove3250]

Love it, but why do they almost double in price from the 300. That is a crazy price increase, with less storage. Just something not right about the price on these.

[@worzysp1]

Excellent view. I'm stuck on what bike to go for this tmax 560!!! Or honda forza 750!! Had forza 300/350 before and a honda xadv Never had a yamaha tmax! Never had

[@markpulling12]

I'd go for the tmax ....it's amazing:)

No mention of electrical access plugs--I use electically heated jackets and ride even when its quite cold--I avoid ice of course but the roads may be dry even below freezing, so I like to have a heated jacket--I'm sure there must be a plug for that purpose, no?

I did mention at 6:47 It has usb output Cheers mark

Nice bike and review but too expensive.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Steve 😁

[@robertmarsh3588]

Great review Mark! Nice, but it is expensive. I rode a TMax for many years, loved the bike and the way it looked but it always hurt my coccyx so rides were limited to 30 mins or so. That seat hump was always in the wrong place for me. Sadly with our weather and rate of thefts, it is unlikely to be a viable car alternative in the UK and other cheaper scoots may be chosen by many. Negatives? As mentioned, it isn't that comfortable if you are taller due to the seat hump and is also short of power if you ride with a pillion. Why no A category licence full power version, say, 60ps? I now have a Forza 750. Miss the TMax but the Honda works better for me. Final point- why can't we get it in a light colour in the UK? Infuriating. Not everyone wants grey or dull petrol blue/black etc.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Robert great comment 😊

[@pontypete7357]

seems very sensible to get a 2 year old T Max Mark, but here is the thing they have only introduced the fabulous TFT screen from the last eighteen months so there wont be any of those at reasonable Prices on the market ?

[@markpulling12]

Ok that's a fair point...that tft is gorgeous....oh well new it is then Pete ...it's a stunning machine 😀 Cheers mark

[@C0PED0GG]

Hi Mark, Whats the better buy for touring, the tmax or honda nc750x?

[@markpulling12]

Hi think I'd get a good used nc750x with top box for long distance touring only because I prefer motorcycles round the bends when I'm touring;) Best wishes mark

[@Mike-B.]

What is the total price for a tmax shipped to USA ?

[@nokneedownian8521]

Hell of a bit of kit wish it was a bit cheaper and I would put my money on the counter
