Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for riders with a full motorcycle license who want big-bike performance without manual shifting, including newer riders transitioning from smaller scooters.
Purpose	Built as a premium maxi-scooter that blends effortless automatic commuting with genuine sporty performance for mixed urban and highway riding.
Rider Fit	The low 800mm seat height and automatic transmission make it accessible to riders of varying sizes and strength, though its 222kg weight requires some care at low speeds and when maneuvering.
Character	A refined, confidence-inspiring machine that feels more like a sport bike than a typical scooter, with strong midrange torque and stable handling through corners.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for off-road adventures, dirt or gravel excursions, or riders seeking a manual transmission and traditional motorcycle riding experience.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Yamaha TMAX, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
