Maxi scooter
Just fancied looking into a Maxi scooter ( the large wheel almost motorcycle type of thing) as a matter of interest ,and read an owners review on his Yamaha Tmax 550cc ,or whatever it is, on utube . Anyway for a bike/scooter that cost about £12,000 he seemed to have replaced an awful lot of parts to get it how he wanted. It wasn't the latest model, a new model is out in 2022, but he fitted a new stainless steel exhaust system because the original was not stainless and was corroding. New suspension front and rear. Replacement brake lines ,fittings and brackets which were corroding. Centre stand was replaced by Yamaha under warranty as original grounded out going over bumps.
Can't remember what else he replaced but you would think a £12,000 bike /scooter would come as fairly good quality from the factory ! |

Re: Maxi scooter
Isn't the TMAX one of the best selling bikes in the world? I didn't realise they cost so much.

Re: Maxi scooter

Re: Maxi scooter
I'd be up for a test ride on a Honda X-ADV. 750cc twin, DCT automatic, very comfy looking seat, built in storage... Basically an NC750, even retaining chain drive, in a step-through frame. I may of course just be getting old...
