Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with a full motorcycle license who have some experience with big-wheel, high-power maxi-scooters, though the automatic transmission makes it approachable for those newer to two wheels.
PurposeBuilt as a premium maxi-scooter for fast, comfortable commuting and weekend touring, blending scooter convenience with genuine motorcycle-like performance.
Rider FitA midsize, fairly heavy scooter that is easy to handle at speed but requires a confident stance and some strength to maneuver at a standstill or in tight parking.
CharacterRefined, torquey and effortless, with strong acceleration, smooth automatic power delivery, and premium touring comforts like heated grips and cruise control.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road use or for riders seeking a lightweight, minimalist commuter, as its weight and price point target a more premium, performance-oriented scooter buyer.

2021 Yamaha TMAX 560 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2021 Yamaha TMAX 560, 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.
