That's me dream bike man. Can't wait till I'm able to afford one

Very good description of the 2009 Tmax. Very good maxi-scooter if you like curvy roads.

TC: 6:43 Turbulence -- That is a big thing. The 2009 specs say 120mph. I got mine to 113 -115 mph. Handled like a sport bike. Very wind dependent with the TMax 2009. One has to be very ready for ' cross wind slap'. As an Inter-Ubran commuter, grocery grabber and date nite bike is where the 2009 Tmax shines.

I have gone 200 miles on a tank at times, but I normally gas up at about 160 miles.

I've owned one of these for many, many years, same model, although it might be a few years newer. All your comments are spot on. I live within a couple of miles of a major highway running along the shoreline. What I really like about this scooter is it gives you the ability to rip around back roads almost like a sport bike, you can easily ride it around town, and most importantly, easily use it on the highway... which will be an issue with most scooters. I'm 5' 11" and the seat is fine for me, but I have a friend that's ~5' 7" and the seat is a little too high for him. Likewise, the windscreen is about 1" - 1.5" too low for me to get out of the wind without lowering my head, this is my biggest gripe regarding the bike. One of these days I might opt to get the taller windscreen to extend the riding season comfortably. Other than that (and battery access being a PITA to get to), it's a great scooter/bike!

I’m going to look at one next weekend. Hopefully it’s as described by the seller.

I just got one for $50 stolen recovery just now learning about these

Thanks for the nice review, I also have a 2009. Your range isn’t very good, I average about 60 miles per gallon which comfortably gives me over a 200 mile range. Is that you’re fuel mileage while driving strictly around town?

Tmax Freeway riding is fantastic at any speed under 100 mph and any corner even in stable way. But, for short trip in city, I prefer riding my Honda Elite 110 because Tmax high seat(actually very wide seat) with heavyweight makes me to hesitate to use it as city transportation. So, I think, Tmax is for long distance riding whereas Elite is for city transportation.

Its hard to find tmax around DMV area. Do you still have your tmax?

The original tmax has the battery under the seat and it's no problem to get a jump start

been riding the baby maxi that is the nmax, considering a tmax but got dang them value added taxes in where i live is ridiculous af.

TC 7:07 True -- The TMax has a sport bike mamma and a scooter dad.

My old silverwing is going to the big road in the sky soon, thinking of getting one of these secondhand. Is it as heavy as honda silvereing?

where i can find a used tmax for sale ?thank you for sharing

I would absolutely rather have a JDM version of that out of Japan because here in my Country Canada we don't have that so I will definitely import it from Japan at some point in time

Would this be okay for a beginner rider

Why are u complaining about the windscreen not being tall enough?wind is the best part of riding.

I have a chance to get one with 11000 miles for 4000 what do you think how has yours been over the years thanks

Can it be fitted with a 17inch

I bought a 09 In 2018 for less than 2000 .. this exact same color ... but I waited and waited for that deal to come along... I could sell it for thousands more....but wont, I'll drive it forever... Perfect conditionn w only 2500 miles. I love it.. but why are you reviewing a 09 in 2018

The 2005 has digital 🤔

Good afternoon Mr Hunter I have been referred to you by a gentleman by the name of clay Ames he said you may be able to help me because I am in dire need of hopefully riding my 250cc Yamaha motor scooter because I am not mechanically inclined and what I'm sharing with you I've also shared with him and I am very appreciated of him helping me out with looking you up and with the hopes that you can help me so I look for your response when you get this message or better yet,comment!
