2015 All Caps Scooter Shoutout
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
What makes a scooter a scooter? Is it the step-through frame? The completely hidden engine? The underseat storage? The clutch-free operation? We have here two radically different visions of scooters in the form of the Honda NM4 and the Yamaha TMAX, representing the different design intents of maxi-scooterdom. The NM4 looks like a futuristic scooter but rides like a cruiser. In fact, Honda lists the NM4 in the cruiser category on its website. The TMAX strives to be the sportbike of scooters with its aggressive styling and performance. What the pair do share is a price tag separated by just $509, with the NM4 costing $10,999 to the TMAX’s $10,490.

this is one of the worst labeled videos you guys have, literally. I understand someone in your office wanted to make a point about the NM4 being a scooter but it's marketed as a cruiser (see the confusion here). I'd seriously been considering buying one but haven't been able to test ride one in my area so while I do thank you guys for this video, but could you at least do something about the title of the video. 2015 All Caps Scooter Shoutout (NM4 vs TMAX) that would help a lot and also may even get a few more people checking this video out b/c I never would have unless I actually went to your main page and used the search bar there instead of YT main search bar.

In Germany you get the Yamaha only with ABS! The brakes on the T MAX are the best of all scooters on the market!

The NM-4 puts me to mind of the bike from the anime movie Akria or it looks like a slimmed down version of judge dredds law master
-
love it
-
The Honda is not a scooter... Maybe stick to motorcycle tests, Motorcycle.com? You might make a bit more sense that way.

I'm not really into scooters, although I have owned a couple of smaller ones and they were fun and convenient to ride around town. I actually kind of like the TMAX. But the problem for me is the price of these "maxi-scooters". For example, Yamaha sells the FJ-09 sport touring motorcycle for exactly the same list price as the TMAX, $10,500. The FJ is far more powerful, more capable, and better performing in every way than the TMAX and I'm sure it costs more to produce. Spending many thousands of dollars extra just so you don't have to shift gears is not reasonable to me.

The NM4 has three driving modes, one of which that allows you to get in the high rev range. Another reviewer said that it's fun to drive when you're in that mode.

The Honda isn't a scooter though.... Why is it in this?
-
TMAX for the win
-
both are ugly bikes. get a vespa.
-
Scooters have a step-thru frame and floorboard. The Honda is not a scooter.
-
I have no idea why someone would spend this much to get so little. There are so many other options available new and used that blow these 2 out of the water.
-
You didn't include the suzuki?
-
What am I missing?
$11,000 for a scooter?
why not just buy the yamaha 250 cruiser for $4,000? -
the honda you choose is not a scooter, is a cruiser. And the yamaha it is. So please.

The Honda NM4 has a lot in common seating and wheelbase wise with their very popular Helix ,one of which I used to own with Kenwood/Honda stereo.A great bike but spare parts woefully overpriced. A new muffler at the time in 1991 was £199.00!!! I kid you not and it only lasted a year as the baffles came loose inside (I had it cut open and those removed for nothing).A new battery was also £100, unbelievable.Bike was cool as hell though and I enjoyed clocking up 33,000 miles in the three years I owned it.Always gathered a lot of attention.

A bike with a DCT is an automatic motorcycle, scooters have CVT engine types which means you don't feel the gears shift unlike a DCT.
