By now, if you're at all interested in maxi scooters, you probably already know that the Yamaha TMAX has a certain reputation for being an extremely capable machine. Boasting a claimed 35kW (about 47 horsepower) with 55 newton-meters (about 40.5 lb-ft) of torque, as well as a nice, approachable seat height of 800mm, it's clearly aimed at attracting a decent cross-section of riders.
But if you're a rider who's been on the fence about throwing a leg over a TMAX because the planets weren't all in alignment or something, then you should probably see the 25th Anniversary Edition. Why? Because it's quite simply a beautiful thing to behold.
There's the expected blingy jewelry, of course. We're talking flashy red chrome TMAX badging, because after all, this is a Special Edition and Yamaha doesn't want you to forget. But what I particularly love is the combination of a beautiful, dark red, double-stitched saddle and how it complements the special Dark Grey Metallic finish of the bodywork.
