2010 Yamaha T-Max 750 Rumors



June 8th, 2009 - Imagine a new, better looking T-Max that puts out even more power than the current 500cc model. Rumors keep reemerging that Yamaha will introduce a new 3 cylinder T-Max with a displacement of 750cc. Apparently the T-Max 500 already has a dummy cylinder and rod that is currently used to counter balance engine vibration. It appears the plan is the utilize the extra cylinder and rod with a real piston to bump the displacement to 750cc. Although nothing has been officially announced by Yamaha, it seems like this would be a easy way to compete power-wise with the newest maxi supersport scooter to hit the market, the Gilera GP800.

If this model is getting ready to be launced for the 2010 year, expect an announcement from Yamaha sometime in the Fall of 2009. If the US does end up getting the T-Max 750, I would imagine that it won't arrive here until the 2011 or 2012 model year. Stay tuned for all of the latest updates on the new Yamaha T-Max 750cc maxi sport scooter.

+1 #5 nicholas 2009-09-30 20:59 beyond all i have to menstion that such a tmax 750cc scooter or bike, will be fun to drive as well, steering will be magic, and ever since the 500 i own does not stay back in turns competing amateur drivers, the new t max will offer great driving abilities Quote

My 500 can hit 110, and has pretty good pick up. I like the storage for my work stuff, and the console storage as well. It has a comfortable riding position, and offers good protection with the screen and faring. Quote
 
 
+2 #3 Adam 2009-06-22 01:17 Dan, Your logic that this is an evolution of motorbikes, rather than an evolution of scooters is odd! This is a scooter in every sense of the word. Because it is more powerful with a larger motor does not make it a motorbike in any way! That is like saying a ferrari is not a car because it is much more powerful than early cars.

We need powerful scooters because people like the added weather protection, the storage, the step through design that scooters offer, that motorbikes do not. Quote
 
 
+1 #2 Dan 2009-06-11 00:56 Why we need a 750cc scooter is beyond me. I was always under the impression scooters are an alternative economical low cost means of transportation. MCN's test of the 500cc T-Max returned an average mpg fuel economy in the high 30?'s! If the 750 is worse I think it is time to start calling them something other than scooters. They seem to be more of a natural evolution of the motorcycle with their automatic transmissions and available storage.
At this point I think we should start calling them Modern Motorcycles or Smart Bikes!We after all they didn't start to call Cars something else when the Automatic transmission became more or less standard..
As far as expected US delivery I would guess the same since the T-Max 500 was in Europe for years before Yamaha wisely decided to bring it stateside. Quote
