My TMAX.  ;D The 250cc SunL died last summer and the wife said get a real scooter. The biggest changes have been more padding and recovering of the seat, a home made windshield extension, and a pair of home made 10 watt LED auxiliary lights. Attachments:

You could have given her a wash for her big forum debut! Lol
I like it, I like it a lot. What cc have you gone for this time? 250 again? If you don't mind me asking, do you ever get the Mrs on the back as well? How does it perform as a "bicycle made for two"?
I've got two years to upgrade my licence, and three years of finance left on my 125, but I've fallen in love with scoots now and I'm kind of liking these or the Burgmans.
Nice scoot, thanks for your info!

Until the mud months end around here there is nothing gained washing it. I keep it in the basement and there are a couple places between the walk out basement door and the pavement that are muddy and can't be gone around. This summer I am going to buy a ton or three of crushed gravel and fix that problem. I like the size, weight, and handling of a 250, but I am quite large and the group I ride with tends to ride speeds that are the top of a 250's capacity with my 300 pounds on it, thus the TMAX. I found the TMAX and a Burgman 400 at equally attractive prices. It was a tough choice. Day trips of 300 to 400 miles are an easy yet ambitious ride for me. For me the choice between the Burgman and TMAX were the same choice as between a Buick or a Camero. Both very nice cars but very different styles. It has a 500cc parallel twin motor and has somewhere around 40-45 horsepower. My wife refuses to get on it because of health concerns with allergies and back issues, but my younger son has taken a few rides. As for power, it is adequate with my 300 pounds and my son's 230 pounds on it. I had problems keeping it below 75 MPH on the Interstate -- while going up hill in to a 20 MPH head wind. There was no bottoming out of the suspension and the ride and handling is still great. I think my enthusiasm for my TMAX is showing. |

I think my enthusiasm for my TMAX is showing. Lol. It's kind of hard not to get enthusiastic about these babies! Thanks for the info, I'll bear that in mind if it ever comes to a new scoot. I was in chatting to the local motorcycle shop owner today, while his mechanic was fixing a puncture for me. He showed me a Kymco.........something........300, that was very nice. It would also have the benefit of keeping my £££s in the local economy. Thanks for the info. Ian |
