Overview

The Yamaha TMAX 500 Limited Edition is a scooter produced from 2010 to 2011. For 2011, it has a 499.0 cm³ liquid-cooled parallel-twin four-stroke engine rated at 50 hp (37 kW) and a wet weight of 221.8 kg.

Its automatic transmission and belt final drive keep riding and routine drivetrain care straightforward. The 800 mm seat height sets the riding position, while the 221.8 kg wet weight takes more effort to manage at low speed. With a 15.10-liter tank and fuel consumption of 5.00 liters/100 km, its calculated range is about 302 km; under-seat storage fits a large full-face helmet.

Pros and cons

Advantages

Helmet-sized storage
The under-seat compartment accommodates a large full-face helmet, giving riders useful built-in storage.
Belt final drive
The belt drive avoids the chain cleaning and adjustment routine.
Automatic transmission
The automatic transmission lets the rider focus on throttle and braking instead of shifting gears.

Things to consider

Substantial mass at low speed
Its 221.8 kg wet weight means more mass to manage during parking and other slow maneuvers.
ABS costs extra
Anti-lock braking is optional rather than standard.

Estimated ground reach

Both feet likely flat

You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
