(OT..) There are still a lot of brand new mk3s hanging around the dealers - who are usually trying to ask almost as much as mk4 for them!

GP has grunt, but thats all...and don't forget its a porky 260kg which is around 50 more than a TMax, so that'll blunt the performance gain!

Something to make your mind up...
1) The TMax is just such FUN to ride!!!!

2) How many TMax riders are on here? How many of them love their Tmaxs to death??? A: Almost all. How many GP/SRV owners are on here????

Cheers for all your advice.I think I have now decided on the tmax and have put an offer in on one,hopefully I won't regret it.

Just one question , Is the mk4 known as the 530 ?. Is there a site where I can gen up on all the mk's and there differences ?

Yes mk4 is the 530 .Best tmax sites are euro ones tmax mania french tmax group German a lot speak English you can post in English theres Italian sites Spanish sites just have to find tech stuff and use google translate some times comes out gobledy guuk but you get the idea .

basically mk1 was carbed mk2 same engine but twin discs and injected mk 3 restlye engine improvements better torque alloy frame instead of steel tubing Mk 4 restlye and 530 engine .They race them abroad which says it all really

every mk they upped forks tyres ect .I have not looked at Mk4 much so there may be more improvements

Few from German tmax group coming over next august for tour of scotland see ride out section

You wont know till you test ride one or both,or at least sit on them in a showroom. I really wanted an SRV for the grunt, but its not suitable for pillions, due to funny shaped body work in the way of their legs, and its very heavy, I got a shock trying to move it in the showroom, and I have a Burg 650 !
