TMax
MSRP $7,999
The all-new TMax scooter is among the increasing numbers of larger displacement bikes that are blurring the boundaries between scooter and motorcycle. Power comes form an automatic fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, four valve per cylinder, high-compression parallel-Twin engine displacing 499cc and featuring a counterbalancer for smooth running. The frame is die-cast aluminum for light weight, while the racy styling features include an upswept exhaust and swoopy plastic. A continuously variable transmission optimizes power delivery and means no shifting required. Fifteen-inch wheels are used front and rear, with dual front discs proving aggressive stopping power. It will cost $100 more for the Cadmium Yellow version of this versatile city scooter.

More motorcycle than scooter, sort of like a small sport bike. Great performance, brakes and excellent handling. Stock windshield sucks with lots of buffeting. I replaced with a Givi and added Yamaha's 12V outlet. I also recommend the fairing "wings" for additional weather protection. You cannot really mount this like a traditional scooter because of the tall "tunnel" between the seat & fairing. On the pricey side but a good machine. Expect about 50 mpg. Tall seat so the "vertically challenged" may have a problem.
