I WAS gonna look at a Tmax for my next buy as its said to be as close to a motorcycle you can get, without putting a petrol tank between your knees, but the lack of storage pockets, would get it refused by her indoors im sure, as she often passes me her glasses and asks me to put them away , whilst we are riding.
And some of the new roadtests say its not much different than the old one, they should have gone for a 600/750 version.

Well...this guy certainly knows how to extract 110% from a new Tmax!!!! Obviously more to do with the skills of the rider than the Tmax, but Rolling burnouts??????? Corr.....

It looks great to me! :D I love its profile from all angles. The only T Max I've liked as much as the Black Max MkII I tried to buy.

The price tag would always have me thinking "what else can I get for this money?" though when it came to part with hard cash.

Admin, can you close this thread now?

Only the prices for the BMWs have come out and I don't think anyone is really going to be interested in the Tmax anymore.

Fuck a duck. The mighty Tmax looks like it'll be toppled... on price anyway.

Its still nearly 8k for the GT :roll: stupid money for a scooter, and the accessories will be really pricey.

...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...

Prices include standard ABS though.

Yes, £7300/£7800 is a lot for a scooter but either makes the Tmax price look very very silly.
