Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with a full motorcycle license who want scooter-like ease with a maxi-scooter's substantial weight and presence.
PurposeDesigned primarily as a comfortable, quick urban and commuter machine that also handles longer highway stretches with ease.
Rider FitAt over 200kg, a rider benefits from reasonable strength and confidence handling weight at low speeds and when parking or maneuvering.
CharacterA refined, premium maxi-scooter that blends car-like automatic convenience with genuine motorcycle performance and a sporty twin-cylinder character.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking off-road capability, a lightweight nimble machine, or a manual gearbox engagement experience.

2011 Yamaha TMAX Tech Max 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 2011 Yamaha TMAX Tech Max 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.
