I suspect your VIN starts with RK. If that is the case your Yamaha SMAX was built in Taiwan.

Yes it is. I'm more cool with Taiwan than China at least ethically.

The 2022 Yamaha TMax 560 is the one to get!

   

MCN quick review is very positive:

Nope. Angry So many bikes they get elsewhere and we don't get them here. Makes me mad.

MCN quick review is very positive:


I never had any interest in any of the Maxi-Scooters.
I like the ones in the 250 to 300 size.
A 250 has enough power for hilly roads and can go on a interstate if you have to.

I have to agree with Lee re maxi scooters. My SMax is 155cc and is fine for up to 80kms/hr (50 mph) 2 up. I could see me on a Xmax 300cc but the only way I would go with higher displacement is if my health keeps me off a proper MC. The TMax does look sweet. Never say never.
