MCN Motorcycle Show 2012: Yamaha The T-Max was the first true sports maxi-scooter when it made its debut in 2001, and has remained a best-seller in many countries ever since. Tens of thousands of the bikes have been sold in the home of the scooter, Italy. Now the T-Max gets a major update, with the horizontally laid out, twin-cylinder engine enlarged for increased torque at low and medium revs, while the bodywork is much more sporty and angular than before. Yamaha T-Max Price/on sale: £8,800/March Engine/Power/Torque: 530cc/45bhp/38lb ft Top speed/weight: 105mph/217kg (wet)
