Yamaha XP500 T-MAX (2000 - 2011) review

Yamaha's flagship scooter
The sporty engine performance gets you quickly away from the lights, with the handling to ensure you can slice through rush hour.
Fast effortless scooter that thinks its a motorcycle
Well, it's not cheap and the underseat storage isn't amazing

Yamaha says: Combining high levels of power and pace with great comfort and handling, the TMAX is the ultimate sports scooter.

The sporty engine performance gets you quickly away from the lights, with the handling to ensure you can slice through rush hour. The sturdy but lightweight aluminium chassis, large diameter wheels and responsive suspension mean great levels of agility whether you're on a cobbled side street or a busy highway.

Completed by touches like automotive-style instruments, illuminated underseat storage, a large glove box and sumptuous dual seat, the TMAX turns every journey into a pleasure.
