Hello from Bristol, hoping for a Yamaha T-Max 530

[R1K SU]

I was gonna get the SRV 850, till my Mrs sat on the back and found out the same thing, they designed it for solo use ??? dumb, I wanted it to
Someone on here who just got the 530, said it wasnt much faster than the 500 T-Max at all, so if u wanna save a few quid, go for an almost new one of those ?

It was Mister 007tmaxer;

I have just picked up my new Tmax 530,its 12 plate in stealth grey with 750 miles on the clock.After riding it home i must say i am disappointed ! my old mk3 is just as good and its done 29000miles !
Transmission whine at slow speeds can be heard even through a tight fitting helmet.It feels no quicker than the 500, just a small amount of torque more but nothing to write home about!the exhaust farts a bit ?
It looks good but i cant help thinking what where they thinking when developing this model? I have had all mk`s now and this is the smallest jump in change i have witnessed.Moving from carbs to injection was a good move helped starting and running smoother but not much faster!
I think the mk3 was the biggest jump in tech with alloy frame better forks and brakes,its no C600 BMW engine wise,i have a demo on one and its feel much more powerful,might have to keep it a year then part ex it for a BM !!!!
