I had a 2016 TMAX put 60k on it in 5yrs had a 60km round trip commute to work heavy traffic,faster roads, rain or shine. Do the same ride now on an XSR900SP would take the TMAX over the XSR any day to do the job. Use it everyday as a city tool and you’ll get it.
Do the Tmax will get your legs hot? compared to a traditional bikes just like your xsr900 especially in heavy traffic? Thanks!
@@eppie1073 Not at all zero heat transfer. Legs are protected from weather too.
@@charl12 Great! I've been searching for this answer for quite some time, now it's time to pull the trigger.
I've seen a number of reviews of this bike and I'm sure it is everything the reviews say it is. I own a Suzuki Burgman 650 AN Executive which is no longer available in Australia (where I live). I haven't ridden the TMAX (in any version) but I consider the Burgman to have been the benchmark for maxi-scooters. It is a 650cc with a CVT that has a manual option giving a 6th gear which leads to better fuel economy when on the open road touring. There is also a power option for more revs when in auto mode - that makes overtaking easier. The screen is both tall and wide and is electrically adjustable while riding. There are 2 glove boxes in the dash as well as a lockable compartment with 12volt socket for charging things. Under seat storage is enough for 2 full face helmets and since I added a top box, I got even more storage. Brand loyalty is a big factor for bike owners so I can see why many would opt for the TMAX. Thanks for your review.
The Burgman is purely aimed at comfort touring whilst the Tmax is aimed at being a sporty scooter
Every chav/eu equivalent of a chav will aspire to get a Tmax not a burgman.
the burgman is a pair or doc martens and the Tmax is a pair of nike air max.
personally I like the Tmax far more because of it's looks and sporty side of design.
@@TheShubbah Thanks for your interest and comments. That's the great thing about bikes and scooters there is something for everyone. I'm looking at buying a Spyder RT to replace my Kawaski Vulcan Voyager.
Absolutely love em
I had 2 back in 2003 one for commuting and one for the weekend if I weren't out on my other bikes.
Handling is as close to a bike as you can get.really comfortable. Deffo come a long way since the first incarnation. They were 7k new back then so always been premium. back in 03 the Ltd edition yellow r6 was the same price.
Id deffo have another if I could
Everyone should try one b4 they snigger imo
Once a scooter always a scooter. And this one costs a fortune, for a scooter...
says someone who has never had one 😂
Old models look much better than the new models , it was the dream bike for a lot of people
I'd still buy a new one if I had the money and never question it.
the dream scooter for me.
Many ‘bikers’ seem to instinctively dislike these and never get to discover how good they are. That’s their loss. I have one and it’s tremendous.
In 🇫🇷 it is so much stolen you REALLY have to double check numbers before going for a used one… it is used more for drug delivery than for commuting !
Lol.
Бомба новый!!! Надеюсь скоро у нас появятся, буду брать!!
I can see it being a car alternative in sunnier climates but as someone who's commuted through winter in Cumbria on an F800, I'll do my commuting in something with a roof.
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.
Sadly with our weather and rate of thefts, it is unlikely to be a viable car alternative in the UK.
Negatives? It isn't that comfortable if you are taller either 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.
It’s not a scooter for everyone!!! The price is extremely high for a scooter! U can buy a car for that money but it is a amazing motorcycle we can’t say that it’s only a scooter such as Honda adv 750 ! The companies change the whole theory of scooters !!!
£12.000 listed here. I could get a new Ninja 1000 SX for that or a Suzuki GSX GT 1000 :O
Crazy money, but we aren't the target market. On the continent it's basically a family vehicle.
😂
Hard to argue against the Ninja SX or Gixxer GT though. They're both a lot of bike for the money.
Or probably £6000 for good used one...
Or £9K for a Versys 650 LT.
For this money would take the Honda Forza 750 and still have 2 grand left. And a maxiscooter is not a replacement for a car. Cmon guys...
It is in the countries Chad mentioned, that’s his point, that we’ve just not taken them up in the UK. It can’t just be the weather, you see people riding them in northern France and Italy. It’s is a lot of money though.
@@BikeWorldTVshow in my country Portugal you can easily use a motorbike all year round. So a replacement for a car easily, but for the price a 300cc is more than enough to commute, sp in the end i think in real wprld this is like a R1 for the road something like a r1 is to a r7 in real world, more a show off luxury kind of vehicle than a vehicle that you can use everyday
christ it's huge. looks comfy though
I dunno what part of the world has a market for £12 scooters but it aint here haha, good luck Yamaha.
Nice but 12g for a scooter is bonkers.. Electric windscreen but can't lock the cubby hole.. 😅
XD priorities. But also.....keyless ignition .........lol
@@ralphwarom2514 lol I missed that.
I have a 2019 530dx and the central locking mechanism for the cubby hole often gets jammed so I'd actually take the new non-locking one lol! Otherwise fantastic do it all bike,try one before you judge it!
Wasn’t the press review for this bike nearly two months ago? What took so long for Bike World to put a video up?
It was, this was shared with another page we won't mention so we waited for a while to load. Also, we sometimes edit to our TV schedule, this vid will be on our SKY show over the weekend.
COME ON YAMAHA. SEND THIS USA. ITS WAY OVERDUE!
Not something I would ever ride, but it’s not bad looking for a scooter.
Why buddy ?
WE NEED A SUPERBIKE STYLE CVT BIKE
Sounds too niche
@@Mybwain maxi scooters are way too overpriced , we need new designs
@@TeznaGFX I still want one though. The aprilia srv 850 very sporty or the old gp800
@@Mybwain parts for those things must be bad these days lol
Who else is miffed that they’re still using Garmin?? Who the hell uses that these days when you’ve got Wayz and Google Maps for free?
What if you have prepaid internet? What about roaming ? I would rather have dedicated gadget .
Nope. Fine by me. I always check routes with Google, but you're lucky if you live somewhere with decent phone reception.
How much do you pay for wi-fi to connect to that bike?
Hate the bike but love your jacket!! Where I can get the same @Bike World?
We'll find out for you.

Still waiting here in the Philippines
Thanks for the review guys. Bikes looks great. Its missing a lot though. And Yamaha and other brands have a lot better bikes of 12Grand.
What is it missing?
missing what
T-Max 💯😍
folks, is it manual or automatic?
How tf raiding a bike in UK its raining all the time
Can someone identify the bike at 0:21
Thank you
Give me big power any day and a real motorbike lol.
forza 750 hands down
London bike thieves are jizzing at this scooter...
We have to do the UK review of this in central London for a laugh.
@@BikeWorldTVshow followed by SO 19!!
That’s why they didn’t sell well in the US.
Folks here will buy Toyota Prius instead. It’s same price.
£12500 is more than the SUZUKI GSX1000GT. This channel is terrible sell out paid promotions only.. have your jollies in Europe but don’t lie to is that’s a stupid product.. make a £5k version .. I’d buy one second hand for 5k cos they are useful and fun but 12k is a joke. It’s 890 duke adv money.. a dct Africa twin…
7-8k maybe, but 12k 🤨😅
No, it is *not* a car alternative. Are you repeatedly saying that to excuse the ridiculous price?
Hi Roy, why would we want to excuse the price, we're just riding the bike not trying to sell you one. You're right though, it is pricey!
@@BikeWorldTVshow ok, lets see. Is the manufacturer an advertiser and/or sponsor of content (through lending of bikes) for purpose of exposure … aka marketing? You did ask.
@@RoryMacdonald-pfff Drop the advertiser/sponsor of content crap, these vids cost us a lot of money to make. Yes it's marketing, that's how marketing works Rory, you could say the same a the boats you've been on being sponsored by Xerox!!! We're not obliged to say anything and it could be a alternative to a car if you spend as much time on two as we do.
@@BikeWorldTVshow what’s crap exactly? I’m right on the money - you have a commercial relationship with manufacturers. I originally called BS on a specific comment you made in the video - but you then dig in and literally invite the question re. motivation for making that comment. And so here we are on the same page - that you have a commercial relationship with manufacturers. You can say you’re not obliged to say anything, but that’s completely disingenuous given the financial motivation re. maintaining a positive relationship with manufacturers. So on the topic of crap .. you can stop the crap of pretending that you’re independent of business relationships with manufacturers.
@@RoryMacdonald-pfff How do you think this commercial relationship you're talking about works? Brown paper bags of cash? Interested in your opinion. We do not get paid for these vids, that's why we have our own independent sponsors. I don't think you'll ever believe what we say, you should check our bank account if you think we're financially motivated. We don't need a positive relationship with the manufactures, there are plenty of places where we can get the bikes. We're quite often left off the launch list for people that can be easily manipulated, as in the vloggers! You've got it wrong Rory, we're just doing our best to make cool bike vids.
No , Just Absolutely NO . The real motorcycles you can get at this price point is literally absurd . K , let’s name 3 Bikes that come in at this price or less…. Go!
The Burgman is better
Maxi scooter con marmitta truccata sgasa fuori casa mia per gesto intimidatorio. Due minuti fa!
Way to pricey.
디자인 누가 했는지 몰라도 정말 전 모델부터 계속 후퇴하네 아이언이 최고네 아직까진
nope
Wasted money. Stop.
