Yamaha TMAX

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The Yamaha TMAX, also written T-Max, is a series of mega-scooters that Yamaha has built for the European market since its debut at press events in Naples and Iwata in July 2000. It was designed as a hybrid of motorcycle and scooter, with a motorcycle-type swingarm and tubular steel frame, the engine bolted to the frame much farther forward than on a conventional scooter, and a twist-and-go automatic transmission. The engine is a water-cooled four-stroke horizontal straight-twin with four valves per cylinder, balanced by a third dummy piston rather than a balance shaft. The original 500 cc engine was the largest ever used in a production scooter, it grew to 530 cc for 2012, and a TMAX 560 launched in May 2020. More than 233,000 had been sold in Europe, and the original won a 2001 Good Design Award in Japan.
