The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I see the Yamaha Tmax is available in the US this year. One thing it would do easily is cruise the interstates at 80-85 mph. That's the one thing the Forza can't do that I would like. Yes, cruising 70-75 with short spurts at 80 is fine, but not 2 hr at 80-85. But the Tmax is $11,000 and only gets 46 mpg.

Burgman 400?

I can't believe Yamaha brought a $10,500 scooter to the US market without ABS.

And the seat has a hump.

As an owner of a Burgman 400 it can certainly do those speeds, but just{90mph is top on stock rollers - sliders have been reported to give an extra 5mph}. However, if you are going to spend what Yamaha wants for the T-Max might as well get a Burgman 650 and be more comfortable and have more storage{also be way more comfortable if you have a passenger}. The T-Max looks like tons of fun on the twisties but not for touring{IMHO}.

The more I think about it, for $11,000 I would buy a really nice used Burgman 400 or Forza, AND a clean Honda ST 1100 or BMW R1150RT or Honda NT700V, AND a pristine used PCX150. Substitute a KLR650 into any one of those three slots depending on your riding needs. But you could easily have a very clean 3-bike used fleet of small scooter, large scooter and traditional motorcycle for that kind of $.

But none of them would be a Tmax.
If you really want a Tmax anything else is no good.

Isn't any good. Didn't you go to school?

Yes I did and in the English class they tried to teach me the scribblings of some dead arsehole called Shakespeare.
His writing was almost totally incomprehensible, everything had to be explained because it was not wrote how people write nowadays.
The one thing I did take away from my English classes is that language isn't fixed and rigid, it changes over time.

Get a Yamaha Smax, it is only one letter different!
