Yamaha 3-cylinder scooter T-Max 750, which will become adversary to the Gilera GP800.
June 8th, 2009 - Imagine a new, better looking T-Max that puts out even more power than the current 500cc model. Rumors keep reemerging that Yamaha will introduce a new 3 cylinder T-Max with a displacement of 750cc. Apparently the T-Max 500 already has a dummy cylinder and rod that is currently used to counter balance engine vibration. It appears the plan is the utilize the extra cylinder and rod with a real piston to bump the displacement to 750cc. Although nothing has been officially announced by Yamaha, it seems like this would be a easy way to compete power-wise with the newest maxi supersport scooter to hit the market, the Gilera GP800.
If this model is getting ready to be launced for the 2010 year, expect an announcement from Yamaha sometime in the Fall of 2009.

Stay tuned for all of the latest updates on the new Yamaha T-Max 750cc maxi sport scooter.
