Here is a new 2015 Tmax in Gainsville. Has ABS and they can get a heated seat and grips from Yamaha. At 3 years old you can probably grind them on price, including them installing the grips and seat. And, it's NEW with bullet-proof reliability...:cool...

Very Nice!:cool:

True, like Top Boxes; Accessory or Anathema?:rolleyes:

He recently bought an NC700 DCT out of Arizona and LOVES it. It used to be his favorite all-rounder, as he also has the new Kawi 400 Ninja and a Victory Octane, and a NEW BIKE. His 2018 Honda NC750 DCT, one of only 4 that were available in the state of California. It's a quantum leap even...

Use dental floss and just saw it back and forth as you pull it between the decal and body.

After a LONG Patent War with J. Costa, these guys at AUTISA (a major OEM auto manufacturer in Spain) offer their version, a J. Costa-inspired design. It runs cooler, has more lineal acceleration and is more tractable, and has avoided all the weight wear problems associated with all J...

The BMW-designed engine, drive train, frame, etc. are built and assembled in the Lonchin factory in China under KYMCO's supervision. The entire bike's major sub-assemblies and components are ASSEMBLED in Germany so are "German-Made". There had been problems with leaking gaskets, defective seals...

Yep, Lonchin Quality Control...

Some years ago I noticed a whining noise in back, but it turned out to be my pillion passenger...;)

Beautiful Bike! Glad you got one of the last ones! Great review and pictures.:cool: (Oh, btw, the Sport outsells the Gt 10:1 in Europe, and it's the OPPOSITE here in the States. Maxi's are for CRUISING here, as per Burgman 650, Silverwing 600, etc. because they aren't "real" motorcycles. Yamaha...

Two Things: 1.)The BMW 650 scooter engine is STILL built in the LONCIN factory in mainland China, along with ALL BMW engines 650cc and under. They are even moving production of their BIG engines over there. 2.)The engine in the Xciting 500Ri is (was) a SINGLE CYLINDER built in-house in Taiwan...

That's life with a cheap dry clutch on such a heavy scooter. The Tmax 530, KYMCO AK550, and Burgman 650 all have WET clutches and don't have that problem. (Piaggio even spent the extra $$$ and put wet clutches in their latest 350cc single-cylinder motor.) The ANCIENT Honda Silverwing 600 is the...

They sell more sports than GT's in Europe; here it's the other way around. They are getting the more cruise-oriented rider, rather than someone who'll push it in the twisties. If you're going to get (take a chance on...see Jaime's thread) a BMW, the Sport is the one. Lighted, better-looking and...

Or, buy a bike from a company that engineers their engines to run well all the time, even with an ethanol mix. 6 years and BMW says, "meh". Same with my brother's F800R. Horrible stalling problems from a standstill...running hyper-lean. Only the aftermarket made a fix for it....

Actually, NO. KYMCO's own AK550 Maxi has a wet clutch (more expensive to make). The BMW motor was designed specifically for BMW's price point targets, to maximize profit, built by the Chinese in the Lonchin factory for the same reason, and the manufacturing was overseen by KYMCO. KYMCO...

New definition: Machochism- "to revel in manly pain induced by uncomfortable rides, ideally while dressed like a Pirate with essentially no safety gear":cool:

Crap, Jaime! If you didn't have bad luck, you wouldn't have any at all! Get well fast!

Here is a new 2015 for $7,699 with full warranty less then (!) 600 miles from you. A nice jaunt. You can GRIND them down on price or have them eat shipping to you. probably get it for $7,500 on your doorstep.:cool: https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2015-Yamaha-TMAX-122038610 A new Xmax is...

My brother just sent me a link to a Spanish review of a Honda NC 700. After 50,000km they did compression and leakdown tests...perfect. Then they took the ENTIRE BIKE APART. No measurable wear whatsoever. https://thewikihow.com/video_YfytBIJc3_w All that for about half the price of the BMW...

This must be your helmet!
