Price is too high and it is too heavy for me.

Thanks for the link, Hawk! Too rich for my blood and stunning complexity. Desireable at less than 500 pounds weight should be doable for old guys.
Review leaves unanswered questions: hp and torque, tachometer? Battery specifics, transmission info?
Not really up to speed on front tire designation but 15 inch wheels is great for a maxi.

I think the review stated the price was high..definitely higher than customers in North America would be willing to pay. Very different scooter market in Europe, though.

What years were the T-Max sold here in the States?
I've seen the S-Max at my dealer - but never the T - the only big scoots I've seen there are the Bugman 650 (& 400 and 200), and a used 500 Piaggio once.
The DT 300's look very big to me. They seem to me to be as big as my Burgman 400.....but are probably 100lbs lighter.

Honestly - a Burgman 400 will cruise America at 75 mph with ease. (that Burgman guy on youtube does it hands free while making a sandwich) Why anyone would need anything bigger is a mystery to me....except for that male thing between the ears and that "gotta-have-it" thing.

I'm a pretty good sized guy who likes smaller, lightweight scooters.....as some smaller guys like their great big scooters.
Room enough for both of us.

not sure if the T Max was ever sold here??  I do find it interesting that here in the US scooters are for 'nerds'..(not my view, of course, but a somewhat common thought)...but in Europe (and I believe they specifically mentioned Spain, France and Italy) it's the hip, young, upwardly mobile, trendy thing to do..to ride a cool maxi scooter.

The reason I want something bigger than my DT300 is because of all the comfort I read about with the maxi scooters out there like the new AK550.
Performance wise my 300 is fine just where it is but the non-existent suspension kills my body after a 40 mile ride.
And guys, speaking of bodies~ us men dont have bad "hips" we have bad "pelvis`es" hips are for women

So why when fixed, for either sex, is the surgical procedure called a “hip replacement”?
