2009 Yamaha T-Max - Short Shift

V-Max For The Step-Through Set
It looks harmless enough. Just another plastic-wrapped mega-scooter. Sensible two-wheel transport for the urbane motophobe? Sure. That's just what the T-Max wants you to think. But underneath the smirking plastic facade lurks the heart and bones of a modern, mid-sized sportbike. Yamaha sold upwards of 23,000 examples of the 2001 T-Max to scooter-happy Europeans in the first eight months. So when the extensively enhanced '08 edition arrived at the same time as budget-crushing fuel prices and record scooter sales, it earned a slot in Yamaha USA's '09 lineup. Shortly thereafter, an R1-yellow one showed up in our garage. If you're still thinking remedial faux-sportbike for the half-helmeted geek squad, think again. The engine alone makes it more than that.

Man, how did a scooter article get here! Oh well, if you need something to accommodate a mobile/cultural lifestyle, it isn't a bad way to go.
