...Same for the Tmax. The mark one and two were well thought out and easy on the eye. I have a soft spot for the Black Max and although I didn't warm to the mark 3, the Frankenstein assembled mark 4 has made me appreciate the mark 3...
My 1st scoot was a new Y plate 100 Speedfight 2 in Acid Green,
Second was a new '03 Gilly Mk2 runner VXR200, looked so neat and compact, specially in the matt gey/black - next version looked terrible..
I'm now on an '09 Black Max, - which i think looks loads better than the '10 version, all the edges and angles on the new version look like it was designed by a child... I think they have done the same with the Mk4 TMax...
