2011 Yamaha T-Max Comparison Review Photo Gallery

The 2011 Yamaha T-Max was far and away the best scoot we tested in our lineup.

The 2011 Yamaha T-Max takes on three other big-bore scoots in MotoUSA's first ever Mega-Scooter Shootout. Check out the full story in our 2011 MotoUSA Maxi Scooter Shootout.

The 499cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine in the T-Max produced some of the best acceleration while the brakes provided the best stopping distance.

A rigid chassis and beefed-up suspension provide a motorcycle feel to the T-Max, giving it superb handling and cornering ability.

Whether you're on the freeway or carving canyons, the 2011 Yamaha T-Max is comfortable in a variety of settings.

“The engine is peppy, and although not as strong as the Burgman, it more than makes up for the lower power output with great handling." - Justin Dawes

A controlled-fill die-cast aluminum frame makes up the main structure of the chassis in the T-Max.

Fuel-injection and forged pistons are just some of the details that helped the T-Max dominate the performance category.

"The T-Max proved itself to be very versatile and easily out performed all the other scooters in the variety of environments and riding conditions we tested in -- the T-Max is the only one with a ‘motorcycle’ feeling to it and it shows.” - Jen Ross
