Re: Bargain T-Max
Looks good bargain on the surface, though I presume its a mk7 rather than the current mk8, though I'm always suspicious of these deals - you ring up and they've always just been sold....

Re: Bargain T-Max
There's a few about. Just bagged an ex-demo 560 Tech Max from Alford Bros for £10.3k. WIgan Yamaha and CMC had a few too but the delivery charges killed it for me. Plus Alfords were better on the px price on my MT09 than anyone else.

Re: Bargain T-Max
Congrats! Now you'll see if you fit on it!! Should be OK....! Wigan Yamaha (and the group they are part of ) are very good at the 'Bargain' Tmax which 'has just been sold but we can do you a very good deal on a new one' sales technique. Its how I got my mk6.

Re: Bargain T-Max
Went to Wigan Yamaha to try the TMax as a Burgman replacement. Five minutes of bike shuffling to get one out , then tried sitting on one. Not a chance, tiptoes at best.

Bargain Tmax? Isn't that an Oxymoron ??
They aren't cheap, but they are good.

Re: Bargain T-Max
I'm okay with the riding position, but i would still like a bit more leg room. That said, the feet forward or flat on the boards works well for me. As dogsbody says, with the wide seat its a real reach to the floor. I imagine its a deal breaker for a lot of people! Not had much use of the new bike yet, but it'll be in daily use from Tuesday next week and I look forward to using it.MrGrumpy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 7:58 amCongrats!

Re: Bargain T-Max
I don't find a problem reaching the floor (I guess I must tilt it over without thinking about it), but getting on the damn thing can be a hassle as the step-thru is now somewhat higher than it used to be! And I think its even worse on the very newest model!

Re: Bargain T-Max
It didn't last long. I was just too cramped on it and could hit my knees with the bars on full lock which was a bit awkward to say the least. I also found it very vibey? Apparently "They are all like that Sir", but the combo of the two saw it being sold.Taipan wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 1:15 pmI'm okay with the riding position, but i would still like a bit more leg room.
