From UK but hired one in Majorca on holiday after months admiring them, really impressed with the machine. Spent the day driving through the mountains twisting through curves and steep hills the bike handled great. Even spent time driving on the motorway in the rain. Got the thing flat out at 180k or, 110mph could do with another 10mph to be fair. Excellent storage having never experienced a Sport Scooter before. These bikes are stigmatized in the UK, beats me the Tmax rides better than most bikes. Every bike you see on the continent is a scooter because of the practicalities of the thing. Made my mind up I'm having one they sound great too!

The Yamaha TMAX 500 seat is wide, Im 6'01 and hit the ground on toes due to the seat width, however sitting closer (shorter people) the seat narrows down. Seating position, mirrors, and brakes are Wonderful
Took off in Europe too bad took so long to get here- Read Guest's review (47 words)

All of it , easy to ride handing great, a fun bike to own. However, wee bit hard on bumps. Great bike, the Yamaha TMAX 500 is too good to call it a scooter.- Read Guest's review (32 words)

Overall, a great piece of machinery. I use the TMAX every day to commute 15 miles and back to the station and look forward to the trip (even in the rain). The bike feels very solid on the road and has no handling quirks - holds the line every time. I used to have a small 50cc for commuting and a big bike for weekends. The TMAX covers both roles easily and even surprises my friends on their traditional motorbikes with its handling and performance. I bought some handlebar mitts and one of those t ...- Read fossie1953's review (246 words and 1 comment)

The Yamaha TMAX 500 bike is sexy and surprising. One time I was riding down from Oregon to California for a high school reunion which was about a 7 hour drive and I saw a Harley Cruiser up ahead in the slow lane. I chuckled to myself and did something funny. As I drew closer to this mean looking biker in the fast lane I started to give the appearance that I was peddling my scooter while looking like a geeky guy struggling to get the scooter to go faster. He and his female companion just st ...- Read PanJammi's review (350 words)

I ' ve wanted a Yamaha Tmax for about 8 yrs now, when Yamaha first introduced them to the European market. Unfortunately, it wasn ' t available when I bought my last scooter- a 2003 Burgman 400. I never gave up hope that eventually they ' d stop depriving us... and earlier this year I found out I was right! This is definitely a scooter with racing genes. It ' s purpose-built to be a "Sport scooter" and it doesn ' t disappoint. Compared to the Burgman, it sits a bit taller, rides a bit firmer, an ...- Read guest111's review (265 words)

I went to a dealership to have a look at the 2009 Yamaha TMAX 500. I first saw the bike on the Yamaha Website and was intrigued by the claim of sport bike performance in a scooter package. After reviewing the specs, I decided it was worth seeing in person. However, I have a problem with fitting on scooter style bikes. I'm tall and I have long legs, so I can't sit comfortably on many of the models. My knees are either pressed against the instrument panel, or I can't turn the handle bars all the w ...- Read Guest's review (208 words and 5 comments)

This bike is my dream bike, a big bike that rides like a scoot. The thing is I haven't owned one but my friend who happens to have one lend me his bike, I like the comfort and the handling of the bike, and the speed is awesome. The guys at yamaha did a very nice job in that bike, hope someday I can own one.- Read Guest's review (67 words)

It's the most practical 2 wheeler I've ever owned and despite having several other bikes in the garage this is the one that racks up the mileage year on year, Mine is the original Mk1 so has crossply tyres and carburettors. Later Mk2's have fuel injection and radial tyres.
The tank is quite small at 15 litres, but if your gentle with the throttle 180 miles can be covered without needing a refill.
If you need to park 2 helmets then add a topbox - the Givi rack is very solid and Givi also do a set ...- Read Diesel Dave's review (919 words and 2 comments)

Very comfortable and fun. Easy to ride. You get a lot of looks from people trying to work out what you are riding and why it goes so fast. Also it has has good storage. It also makes a great noise. I do like this bike because I hate gears.
I've only owned the bike for 3 days and I love it- Read David Superman's review (66 words)

A general service on my Yamaha TMAX was £250 and the 12000 service £550 with belt change, new pads. Alternator went at 16,000 just out of warranty, quoted £550 for new so had old one rewound and fitted for £250 and sold it at 18000miles. Depreciation was horrific for the 2 Years and 4 Months of ownership from new, dropped £2,700 on a discounted purchase price despite the bike being immaculate. No interest for 2 months in Autotrader and MCN. The most expensive bike t ...- Read reddex's review (97 words)

I have had quite a few bikes/scooters of different makes ranging from ordinary to crazy (Diblasi/Italjet dragster 180/Formular 125/Yamaha 500LC 2 stroke/Ducati 900 monster/Kawasaki ZZR1100/Vmax 1200s etc.
This bike is not the fastest by far but...It has the best combination for a real world biking with comfort with an ability to keep up and or sometimes out pace a lot of bigger bikes because of the handling and twist and go effect. One last thing I think that really helps with this bike is the f ...- Read Ninja John's review (248 words and 2 comments)

I've had a Yamaha Tmax 500 for a few months now and really like it. I used to have an x9 125cc which I got rid of because of poor handling, and very poor reliability. The Tmax is in such a different league. It has really got me into riding again, and I will be planning some large trips soon.
The ride is very confidence inspiring: Very well grounded on the road, goes over bumps with no effort. It has a very low centre of gravity offering sure footed cornering. It is pretty heavy, but I think ...- Read tmaxrider's review (269 words and 1 comment)

A good buy. I've gone from being a bike owner to a scooter owner as I became lazier with age. This is still bike enough that it's fun and handles well, but scootery enough that I can stack away my helmet and jacket when I park (even more with the top box) and I don't have to think about gear changes and clutch stuff. And people look at it with envy... who would have thought it? If I buy another scooter it will only be to upgrade this to a more recent T-Max.- Read Dandeleo's review (185 words)

Sold it in 06 with "0K miles done for a new Bulldog, love it but Bulldog is made in Italy, and the build quality is terrible. Rust on every chrome part, fork legs have pitted.
