Overview
The Yamaha TMAX Black MAX is a scooter from the TMAX family, produced from 2012 to 2013. The 2013 model has a 499 cm³ liquid-cooled parallel-twin four-stroke engine producing 50 hp (37 kW), and weighs 221.8 kg wet.
Its 800 mm seat height sets the rider’s reach to the ground, while the 221.8 kg wet weight can make slow-speed maneuvering and parking more demanding. The automatic transmission handles gear changes without a hand-operated clutch, and belt final drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment. Fuel consumption is 5.00 liters/100 km, with a calculated full-tank range of about 302 km from the 15.10-liter tank. ABS is optional on the single-disc front and rear brakes; the 2013 engine capacity is 499.0 cm³, down from 530.0 cm³ in 2012.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Automatic transmission
Automatic shifting removes the need to operate a clutch or change gears manually in traffic.
Belt final drive
The belt drive avoids the cleaning and adjustment associated with a chain.
ABS availability
Optional ABS can help prevent wheel lockup during hard braking.
Things to consider
Substantial wet weight
At 221.8 kg, the scooter can take more effort to maneuver or push around at low speeds.
Limited ground clearance
The 124 mm ground clearance leaves less room over tall obstacles.
