Yamaha managed to brush up the TMAX looks and make the bodywork more compact overall while maintaining that well-established metro-commuter appeal. A stylish fender and wind tunnel-tested front cowl lead the way to change the very visage the TMAX presents to the world.
Dual headlights split the night and come stock with built-in DRL bars and turn signals housed within the upper edge of the scoop. LED emitters make up all of the lighting for excellent two-way visibility day or night.
Blackout radiator shrouds meet a color-matched belly pan, while up top, an adjustable windscreen extends the protection upwards. A pair of analog gauges join with an LCD screen to deliver all of the pertinent metrics.
There's a Smartkey feature that allows for push-button starts while the key stays in your pocket and there's a cubbyhole complete with a 12-volt outlet so you can plug your phone in and charge it underway.
The step-through is all but completely blocked by the tunnel ahead of the long pilot's seat. The seat hides even more storage beneath in typical scooter fashion, but it only accommodates one full-face helmet or maybe 2 smaller lids.
There's a nice butt-stop cushion to segregate the pilot from the pillion. Fold-up footpegs and a beefy J.C. rail ensure your passenger's comfort.
The rear lighting contains more LED yummygoodness. The taillight comes to a point at the terminus of the tail, which is edgy looking. It comes flanked by recessed turn signals to match the front. A mudguard assembly completes the rear coverage and carries the license plate to finish the gear in the rear.
