What Makes This Bike Great? Ep8: Yamaha TMAX

[@johnstraw5390]

People don’t understand how awesome scooters are.

[@Teatimeted]

sting does.

[@TmaxniMin]

correct Sir

[@zootius]

Anyone who sneers at big scoots hasn't tried one. I don't miss my Blackbird and Street Triple when I ride my ADV 350. I ride this way more often than I rode my "proper" bikes. It just fits into my lifestyle so well. Boring commutes and shopping trips can now put a smile on my face, that's the whole point of riding.

[@SimonRiley752]

Dude, I have no shame in saying my wife's ADV160 is so much fun. It's so light and flickable, it carves corners up and is just comfortable and practical. And the gas mileage is just nuts. I wish the ADV350 would come to the US, I'd get one quick.

[@robertcostello9473]

I got rid of my 200bhp ZZR 1400 and now have the ADV350 ! Absolutely fantastic, so easy to ride and on local trips faster than the 1400 as always in the right gear ready to fly away from the lights zipping through the traffic. Loads of under seat storage and cheap to run. Also it's Happy enough on the motorway and keeps up with the bigger boys on the lanes. What more could you want!

[@AMomcilo1]

This is what happens when you get older, you become wiser and start buying things that make sense. :)

[@neevesybikes]

😄😄

[@timdavie158]

Great clip. I would not of understood this clip a few years ago but now after going to Bali and Thailand for holidays and hiring scooters to get around, I understand now how much fun they can be. Like you I have a GSXR 750 but have found myself looking at scooters lately 🤣 My problem is I am 2 metres tall and 120kg so i don't think i will do it unless I want to join the circus as the clown on the mini bike🤣

[@negoras]

I like my old man for being 63 and still riding his rd 350 lc also! 🤘

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Congratulations, Michael. I totally get your decision: I ride my Tiger 900 once or twice a week, my ADV350 once or twice a day. So practical, so much fun… Enjoy😊👍

[@neevesybikes]

Thanks mate. The ADV350 Is great. Tested when it came out a couple of years ago and was very impressed. Good choice 👍

[@scottmitchell6371]

I've been riding bikes for 46 years, owned 22 bikes all up now! 😳👴 Got a Scooter (XMax 300) two years ago, just to pop to gym get around town shop. I LOVE the thing, a wish I'd known how much fun and how practice they where years ago. Still have a big Yamaha Super Tenere, but am planning to down size that to a Triumph tiger 800 sport when they come out (54kg lighter), but as the scoot is so much fun am also contemplating getting rid of both bike's and having a TMax 560. I'm 6'3" Xmax is a little on the small side. How do you find the TMax as a 6+ footer? 😃

[@iainwhite3476]

I sold my R1 years ago as I was just commuting on it for a 125 2 stroke scooter, most fun I ever had but I think the narcissism in me made me get a gsxr1000r now! Thinking of downsizing after watching this video 👍

[@8888swatt]

There is something deeply satisfying about a utilitarian vehicle that works really well.

[@somatyk]

I'm crying😂 Proper beats. Exactly 60. Destroying traffic. Best. Episode. Ever.

[@amksg]

I own the exact same bike, the TMAX Tech Max ’22, and knowing that someone I deeply respect and admire for their motorcycle expertise has chosen it too makes me feel validated and genuinely happy. 🎉

[@neevesybikes]

Great minds!

[@ian1580]

I'm doing 18,000km per year commuting on a maxi scooter and I love every minute of it. I could have "upgraded" to a proper bike so many times, but my scooter ticks every box. Just like in your vid, I'm filtering traffic a lot and the twist and go makes life so easy. And let's not even talk about storage, not having to attempt putting a bag on my back every morning and evening while wearing a leather motorcycle jacket is a major positive.

[@SM-mk2wh]

I bought a 530dx 9 months ago and absolutely love it, it just does everything I need, I commute on it everyday (bar snow and ice) I'm even contemplating getting a trailer to take to Europe behind my camper van. Keep up the tmax content I totally get where you're coming from. Enjoy your new steed. 😎

[@ozzyg82]

I had the XMAX 300 for a number of years recently and it was quite remarkable - 100mpg meant I got about 240-250 miles to one tiny, 13ltr tank. It would happily sit at motorway speeds. More under seat storage than even this T-MAX, you cold fit two full-faced helmets. I had the fleece-lined apron and heated grips and it was super warm and dry even in storms and freezing cold. Bike had LED lights all round, ABS, traction control. A lockable glove box with 12v charger. And the little coxis back rest makes a surprising amount of difference when it comes to comfort, (even though the bike was the most comfortable two wheeled machine I’d ever sat on). Larger wheels meant it soaked up the bumps and handled very much like a regular motorbike. Only fly in the ointment was it lacked excitement and engagement - not much power, (having said that, the smoother, relaxed riding experience is weirdly zen). One day, when I’m an old kodger, I’ll get myself another maxi scooter for sure - just not now - I want a bit of fun first.

[@AngelSapundzhiev]

Congratulations, Neevesy! You are a true motorcyclist - riding 12 months out of the year! Courage to be admired, you really are the real deal! I would do same, but Chicago winters get too snowy and salty, which I fear will ruin my bikes.

[@aluisious]

You can't ride a motorcycle in the winter on icy roads without ending up on your ass.

[@davidelizabeth4933]

We love the fact that you sold your car to buy it! 🤘👍 BRILLIANT!!! ❤❤

[@LKESBO]

Started my motorcycle journey with 929 honda in 2001 then went to 999s in 2005 then 1098s and many that i can't remember,, currently multistrada v4 rally Gsa1250 Ducati V4 ,, i rented the T max last year in Spain did few trips on it highway and twisty roads,, Came back home and bought one ,, it is the best bike i had it can do anything anywhere i love it so much and i totally understand what neeves is saying ❤

[@paulh3358]

G'day from down under, Neevesy. I was rapt to see this video! Firstly because your previous review of the Tmax was a big influence in my decision to buy one. Also, I bought one exactly the same as you have. Bought it from the original owner, with 3000km on it, still with 12 months factory warranty. For years I have thought that I would love to have a big scooter with cruise control. I saw one of these in the showroom, back in 2022, but when I saw the price tag of over $21,000 AUS, I just thought 'no way' and forgot about it. Then, about 6 months ago, I saw one for sale, near me. I picked it up for 15k! 😁. The last few bikes I've owned, I've ended up selling, mainly because I didn't ride them enough, but I'm pretty sure this one is going to be different. I can ride this thing for 3 or 4 hours via freeway to twisties and back, or even through city traffic, and still not want to stop when I get home. Also what you said about memories of riding scooters on holidays, really resonated with me. Riding the Tmax often reminds me of the fun times I've had (and hopefully will have more of) in places like Bali, Thailand and Vietnam. Love your reviews mate, keep up the good work, and can't wait to see more on the Tmax.

[@neevesybikes]

Thanks mate, more TMAX content coming soon!

[@jaide1312]

As a car replacement they make a lot of sense, and it's preferable to a 50cc. But my alternative to owning a car is a regular old bicycle! Commuting, grocery shopping, the whole thing. No money spent on fuel, practically no maintenance, and I'm getting exercise by riding it.

[@Kobain222]

I'm sorry to hear that 😂😂😂

[@crimmond06]

I take it you can commute 50 miles each way on your bicycle.

[@acorredorv]

I don't commute on the bicycle, for that I take the motorcycle. But all the supermarkets are too close to allow the engine to warm up, so bicycle with a milk crate is my grocery getter; I've toyed with the idea of a scooter, but I'd be afraid of using it because the engine would never warm up properly for such short trips.

[@KetilDuna]

Ah, but there is room for both!

[@vmartinez71]

back in my mid 20s I rode a Yamaha FZR 400 while living in California. stopped riding for a couple of decades. then at 49 and now living in the Philippines, returned to riding but this time with a Yamaha Mio Aerox twist-n-go sport scooter. her name is Fat Amy and I've now owned her for 4 going on 5 yrs and still enjoying every ride. Cheers mate

[@xcelmaster4779]

Hey Michael. Greatest start to motorcycle video ever. The music. The filtering. Top class. Enjoy your new bike. Looks the business. Take care.

[@GaryMullens-q7s]

Awesome video Neevsey. I am an every day rider too (50 mile round trip commuter), I know the TMAX is ideally suited to this kind of use,but even at almost 65 years old, making the move from a bike to a MAXI scooter is a big step. I do fear the maintenance intervals and associated cost but I admire your courage in this matter. I am totally convinced; and your video (watched it at least 10 times) says all the right things. I look forward to follow up video's too. Who knows perhaps I will get one of the 25 models next year.........

[@neevesybikes]

Thanks mate. Would’ve hurt to try one, eh? 😊👍

[@7-v4z]

Scooters make you feel like you're on holiday,wheelbarrows, shopping trolley's,big fan

[@douglasmurphy6023]

Fantastic video Michael ! Also great to read the comments below and see that so many others "get" the TMax and other big scoots. Pity all the bike magazines ignore scoots every month and never a mention of the TMax, X-ADV, Forza 750 etc. Having had 4 TMax's I agree 100% ... they are just so right and have a bit of magic that other two wheelers dont, and where my motorbikes tend to be kept wrapped up in the garage, a big scoot is always at the back door ready to be wheeled out for daily use .... thanks for a great review ! Dougie

[@hhxlegacy]

Congratulations! Your enthusiasm for the Tmax really shined through in this video.

[@geoffball9547]

Sounds like the little kid is still in you! Rock on!!!!

[@richbrock9876]

Had to watch the intro twice, so good 😀 Anybody else want a T~Max now?

[@simonbissell6831]

Yes, now want one

[@LambChopRides]

I joke you not people, I've been away with Michael on bike launches and he does exactly that! Counts TMaxes 😂 love this Michael 👏

[@neevesybikes]

Cheers mate 😊 I’ve got the scooter virus. There’s no way back 😩

[@cali5ive124]

dude that scooter is SO AWESOME!!! i used to ride a scooter when i lived in Italy, loved them ever since, yours looks sporty and aggressive, i love it. Ride safe!

[@shadostorm8375]

Riding this tmax almost everyday for 1 year. Its an awesome bike to me.

[@neevesybikes]

Amen to that!

[@nobik66]

I understand your attitude to the TMax 100%. I now have the 4th TMax - the current model as TechMax with an Akrapovic exhaust. I've had a total of 62 motorcycles in my life most notably Ducati and MV Agusta (currently a Brutale 800). And yes motorcycles are more dynamic, faster and more exciting. But a TMax is simply so much more. It is technically more motorcycle than scooter. But you can simply do anything with a TMax. For example I rode from Berlin to Verona - that's 1,200km in one go. Just fill up with gas and you're good to go. I've always had the most fun on 2 wheels with a TMax. For me it's the Swiss army knife of bikes with a gentlemen's touch. Some people think it's too expensive. But their attitude to the TMax is not correct. You get two bikes for the price of one and a half. I wish you always happy riding - no matter what.

[@neevesybikes]

Wow, that’s a testimonial! I can’t believe how many people love a big scoot!

[@adambarczi6305]

Congrats. I share your enthusiasm. I returned to the Tmax after 7 years because it had left such deep impressions in me.

[@kaykay8686]

Here in South Korea, there are bucket loads of bikes but also scooters. They are everywhere, especially for delivery these days. I, myself, have been a life-long bike guy. Currently I have three: a 2015 Yamaha MT-09 Tracer, an older 125cc scooter, and a 2023 N-max 155 scooter. I get it! I don't have a car either. All year round on scooter. It's so fun and easy. More people need to try it. I also have the hand warmers with the heated grips, which is a game-changer for colder rides. Congratulations on the purchase! Enjoy!

[@splodge57]

I share the same feelings. I've been riding bikes for 50 years, still do, but bought my first twist and go 8 years ago. It's a Honda Forza 300 and I love it, gives me a big smile every ride and is so practical. Now I'll never be without a big scooter alongside my biikes.😊

[@neevesybikes]

Well said 👍

[@mwng5186]

I bought a 2 grand forza 300 when I broke my hand racing enduro; Thought I would sell it but fell in love. I ve got an r nine t and a daytona 675r a ccm r30 and a couple of others. Ive even got the skirt thing so popular in europe, bar muffs etc. I chat to bikers and they say they wouldnt be seen dead on it! For me it one of the most fun bikes Ive ever ridden like a cheerful and excitable puppy dog. It was well worth a smashed hand to discover a new facet to biking.

[@neevesybikes]

Exactly. They’re the best kept secrets in biking!

[@rob175kks]

That first 2 minutes was awesome! really nicely done. I immediately know I'm in the right place.

[@neevesybikes]

@@rob175kks thank you, sir 😊👍

[@raysayer8109]

Well done Neevesy for sticking your head above the trench and praising the Tmax, I owned a 530 for while and absolutely loved it, I have owned many bikes over the years Ftom Fireblade SP to GS adventure, enjoyed them all but the Tmax still makes me smile and I'd love a new one, i spend a lot of time in Europe too so I guess that has always been an eye opener. It's a shame big scooters are seen so negatively here. Enjoy it.

[@SergeyVikultsev]

I like Tmax a lot! Probably one of the most overlooked bikes. Congratulations Michael.

[@jayhooks]

Love this! I’ve owned different types of bikes from Harley’s to GSXR’s. I bought a Vespa GTS 300 this year, and whilst it’s not a Tmax, I absolutely love it! Scooters are amazing fun! ❤

[@jsleeio]

how long did it take for you to get used to the very short wheelbase? I had a bmw c400x loaner for a while recently and even after ~500km it still felt really strange and disconcerting

[@jayhooks]

@@jsleeioI don’t really notice it to be honest! Because the power, riding position etc is so different to a big bike it just feels like an all-round different experience.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

My wife has had a Vespa GT60 250 for eighteen years and 60K miles. Since she's also a sportbike rider over time we've done lots of suspension, wheel/tire and brake upgrades which have turned it into a sleeper on a twisty road. My learning has been to keep as much weight over the rear wheel as possible and just point the nose where I want to go in a partial wheelie position while using the rear brake to flop from side to side. Took a minute to adjust to the front feeling like it's about to go full-on tank slapper mode, but I haven't highsided it, yet.

[@2wheelsrbest327]

Jay as I have posted I currently ride a GS and given Michael and your experience I am tempted to move over to the dark side very soon 😉😂

[@jamesdearden4752]

I enjoy your bike talks and videos but really loved this one. It's a shame many UK bikers look down on scooters. This Summer I rode an ADV 350 across Europe, from Mid-Wales, to the south of Turkey and back. Was pretty much effortless, faultless, comfortable and just downright enjoyable.

[@neevesybikes]

Amen to that! Cheers mate 👍

[@stuartosborn4785]

I think this vid has just added a few quid to the second-hand prices !👍......plus a shed load of credibility

[@floydonwheels]

Had mine for nearly 2 years, same as yours with the top box. Just a fantastic machine. Trips to shops, trips away or just out for a blast, it is always a joy to ride. Does Just as well with pillion too.

Completely get it . Especially the holiday reference , if we had sunnier climes id have one too 🍻🏁

[@Bladebars]

Been a sport bike owner and superbike racer, last year bought a Honda ADV 350 scooter and I love it

[@florisnr11]

Keep it, becose i have a tmax and adv350. And the adv350 is better and cheaper in maintenance. The tmax is over rated, uses alot of gasoline and everything cost very much.

[@LeeTillbury]

It's not a T Max though...

[@LeeTillbury]

​@@florisnr11😂😂😂😂😂

[@florisnr11]

​@@LeeTillbury what do you mean ? A tmax isnt that fast. I have both, and the adv350 is way better.

[@DSLtwo]

@@florisnr11 I don't know what your smoking I had both from new & the T-max is different class in everyway other than for mild off-roading & the fact it costs 2.5 times as much as the ADV.

[@timbounds7190]

The joy of the Tmax is that it does everything well (apart from going off road). Fast enough, great handling, it'll tour, traffic bust, blast up M-ways, wallop round back lanes.....almost everything. Only snag is the silly price and that Yamaha build quality is not great these days - eg the centrestand will start rusting in months. But I'm addicted - I have two!

[@enzymen2074]

I totally get it .I'm the same as you. I''m 58 and currently have a GS 1250.,R9t, MV agusta Dragster RR , Ducati Panigale and a vespa 300gts . I've always loved scooters and have just sold my 2nd Honda 750 xadv. Ive had 2 tmaxs in the past a 500 and a 530 and I still miss them so much.. . My mates think I'm mad and don't understand my love for them ..I've even done some track days on my Honda xadv which i have put on you tube and these so called scooters can surprise people so much.. Good luck and enjoy your new tmax.

[@jonathanmackie4884]

Just perfect. Decided to try off season riding too this year for the first time in a long while and bought a 12 year old GSX1250FA, low miles in good shape, knowing it would see some deteriation with winter use. Never crossed my mind to go T-Max!! That makes so much more sense. I blame your colleague Jon Urry. He talked up the big bandit in a recent used buy article in MCN. T-Max; cool and warm at the same time!! Genius.

[@markobutkovic5414]

first of all, congratulations. a lot of people share your obsession with this scooter, that's why Yamaha sells it in such numbers. I personally find it fascinating just like Yourself. there is no doubt that this is still the best YT channel for motorcyclists. keep up the content like this

[@neevesybikes]

That’s very kind of you to say. Thanks for watching 👍

[@Teatimeted]

bought a adv350 for commuting from the sticks to central manchester. what a bike. massive storage, decent power off the lights and costs me a tenner a week to fuel. was driving in to work and it was killing me. only thing i think the bike really needs is a heated seat, other than that, its perfect. that being said, you dont get the same respect from car drivers that you get on a big bike. extra care is needed.

[@robertyork4041]

Perfect bike for winter and for nipping around (and for touring into Europe, in fact, great for just about everything). Great to also see some of Stamford in your video.

[@DavidStanley-k1v]

Completely agree, I’ve had many bikes from gsxr1000 L5 to my current xt1200 ze. In between I had a sh300i to commute on some years ago and I bloody loved it. I’ve also had the NC 750 x dct albeit a great bike it didn’t have the fun factor of a maxi scooter. I too want a TMAX 560 it’s makes a lot of sense. The only problem is the stigma attached to scooters in the uk! I think if many a biker tries one they see what absolute sense they make.

[@brdllc]

Leaving another comment after I just now finished the end of the video. Please feel free to post as much scooter content as you want! The only people who dog on scooters are people who haven’t ridden them, it is such a blast. Got my 150cc piaggio fly for $500 and I’ve gotten 6k miles on it since last year. I don’t know if there is any, but I wonder what a Variator upgrade would be like on your t max. I’ve never looked into them before but you’ve sold me. Also, the alpinestars lid in your livery looks incredible. Thanks for spreading the good word about scooters!

[@paulfowler7618]

I loved this video. The T-Max is clearly a brilliant machine and the fact you've given up your car for one proves this! 😮 Hopefully we get to see more of it on the channel. How about a documented trip like you did on the 660 tigersport a couple of years ago?

[@neevesybikes]

Thanks mate. I’ve got a couple of trips in mind. Watch this space 😊👍

Have an MT09, but love riding scooters as well. Have a Click 160 for getting around the city, and used to ride the Forza 350 all over the place. The Forza was great for weekend breaks as you can chuck all your gear under the seat. Nothing beats a twist n go when you are in the mood

Great choice, I hope you have many enjoyable miles. I myself came from a Honda 800X Crossrunner after many year of driving it and now ride the Honda Forza 750 DCT. While it doesn’t match the performance of my previous bike, I really love the way it rides. Most of the summer months, I use it to on a regular base commute to work. Every year, my brothers and I go on a week-long motorbike trip, and it’s an absolute joy. I can imagine that the Yamaha would be just as great. cheers

Congrats my friend. I am a 2021 Forza750 owners (daily commuting in Athens/Greece and loads of traveling around), and that's the best by far ΤΜΑΧ short review /owner's honest opinion I came across on KZbin, so far. 👌

[@ctmac9404]

Inspiring, mate. Got me thinking..

[@01menyou]

You will make them cool. Love your honesty.

[@steveball2307]

What a great video. If it does it for you who cares what others think? Goes to show the fantastic variety of the biking world, just watched Chris Northover blatting around on a Kove 450 and now you on the vmax - both grinning like kids!

[@Beatitbiker]

I think you actually counted 17 !!! Brilliant video 😍

[@neevesybikes]

You’re right. I was excited 😍😍

[@akamikeg]

Neevesy I almost hesitate to give out this secret because you’d have to sell your TMax immediately: it’s the Forza 750! You get the same practicality of twist-and-go with the auto DCT gearbox yet it’s way more fun especially with a proper 17in wheel (and bigger brakes) in the front. Sounds better, looks more unique, it’s more capable, and here’s the kicker: It’s cheaper 😂

[@RichardFrost-du7sc]

Good honest stuff !! When you give us the update, can you tell us why this and not the Honda Forza 750 . Cheers.

[@ACBros_06]

thanks for keeping your reviews sincere and not advertising for some generic low quality Chinese adv bikes like other reviewers.

[@MrBrimsy]

Very cool rig looks like alot of fun

[@aaronharris5275]

I hope you do another video to see how you have been getting on with it in the long term. I know you said this is a one off vid on the Tmax but lots of people like me long for one but can't quite stretch to the £12k or whatever they are now. I have a Forza 300 2018 and owned it since new and it can feel very quick around the city and its done nearly 36k miles now. Very useful as a second vehicle when the wife has the car and for commuting. I'm a new subscriber, but probably only for scooter related vids.

[@neevesybikes]

Hi Aaron, yep, I'm planning to do an update soon. Thanks for watching and subscribing - much appreciated!

[@Kevin97587]

I been riding for only 8 years so not very long, but ive had a few adventure bikes, two harleys and two tracer 900/9's and never considered a scooter. Untill my dad bought a honda forza 350. I basically used that thing daily instead of my own motorcycle since it was so much fun and practical. I still own my tracer 9 but im considering in x years down the line to also get a tmax.

[@brdllc]

YES I love scooters! They’re so fun because they’re worry free, it’s like riding a lawn chair down the road. My buddies and I can talk to each other while riding around without communications. I always wished you guys or some other English publication would do a story/video on malossi and polini and their 100cc race scooters!

[@bradleyalexander5821]

It always amazes me to see the “I’m hopelessly in love” with this bike from those that ride so many. Didn’t see that coming. Cheers from 🇺🇸

[@Oilyhands749]

Your like a pot simmering on a stove , was waiting for your lid to pop off! Just great to see this much enthusiasm from a guy that could pretty much have any bike he wanted. Probably your best vid yet! Enjoy 😊

[@neevesybikes]

Cheers mate. Very kind 😊👍

[@nemindakarunaratne2291]

Oh i own one too along with a 2024 MT09 Y-AMT. I just say which is the most favorite. Ideal for winter rides.. Its amazing

[@filofilo8127]

Great video Neevesy. I think it would be quite a capable tourer.

[@JPWest020]

Great bike!! Excellent choice 👌🏻 Here in Amsterdam there are loads of ‘m. I have a scooter myself- Piaggio Liberty 350. Brilliant for the city and even outside town. Congratulations and good luck with it!!

[@neevesybikes]

Good choice!👍

[@rodintoulouse3054]

I am going to have to go to my yamaha dealership now! 😊

[@pumpkinr11s]

So glad you fed your Tmax love! I have been longing for the Tmax to make it to the United States in it's current guise for years. I also have a 2022 BMNW S1000R that I use for the more exciting rides, but I always come back to my maxi scooter for day to day errand running and poor weather commuting. I currently have a 2023 Kymco AK550 which is the closest thing to a Tmax here. I would love to see a comparison of the two, although I already know the Tmax is better 🙂

[@KiwiMoto72]

Nice work as always Mate! I wish it was available here in the US! They only sell the VMAX here 😢

[@ironzombi]

Loved the intro ! Really enjoying this content
