The 2010 MY Yamaha TMAX is a maxi-scooter powered by a brawny 499cc fuel-injection four-valve liquid-cooled engine, capable to deliver excellent commuting and touring fun, as well.
Continuously-variable automatic transmission and a smooth, linear power response make the TMAX rider feel confident, much like the feeling you get on a motorcycle. In fact the TMAX has a motorbike-type fork and hydraulic brake system with a parking brake.
A motorcycle-spec charcoal canister fuel evaporation recovery is also standard for a better, less polluting ride, while the cast aluminium frame and wheels add serious point on the maneuverability scale. Silent chain final drive and exhaust catalyst technology complete the feature list on the TMAX.
