Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with a full motorcycle license who want scooter-like ease with more performance, so some prior two-wheel experience is helpful though not strictly required.
PurposeBuilt as a premium maxi-scooter that blends effortless automatic transmission convenience with genuinely sporty, motorcycle-grade handling and braking.
Rider FitA tall, roomy 800mm seat height combined with a substantial 227kg curb weight means shorter or less confident riders may find it manageable at speed but a bit unwieldy at a standstill.
CharacterAppeals to the practical enthusiast who wants big-bike stability and highway composure without the complexity of manual shifting.
Not Ideal ForNot a fit for off-road exploration or riders seeking a lightweight, flickable commuter, as its size and weight favor paved roads and longer rides.

2014 Yamaha TMAX ABS 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 2014 Yamaha TMAX ABS, 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.
