Uber-Shcooter




The Yamaha TMax will be available for the first time in the U.S. this July with the introduction of the 2009 model.

(Be sure to watch the "Scooters Anonymous" video on the Yamaha site.)

Yamaha describes it as the worlds first supersport scooter. With a 499cc DOHC Fuel Injected twin on a lightweight aluminum frame it will some real get up and go. (Gee, that's double what's under the hood of the 'Flex).

The Honda Silverwing, and Suzuki Burgman 650 outgun in engine size but they also significantly outweigh it. This model focuses on performance instead of touring.

I wonder if there's a waiting list?
