The 2009 Yamaha TMAX Scooter Review
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck…it might not be a duck. It could be a particularly duck-like loon. In the case of Yamaha’s quirky TMAX super-scooter, it’s a loon that can fly faster, dive deeper and honk the crap out of any duck on two flippers. Leaving feathery analogies behind completely, the TMAX is the fastest, best-handling scooter I’ve ridden, and in fact may be in my top ten for best-handling streetbikes. Period.
“But it’s a scooter,” you say, “how can this be?”
