Scooter Review, Gilera Fuoco 500cc


Gilera Fuoco 500cc

Words by Alec Simpson, Photography by Lou Martin

Have you ever seen a warthog? They are related to wild pigs and have huge heads and narrow bodies, with small tusks next to their snouts that add to their look of ferocity. Warthog is also the nickname given to the Fairchild A-10, an American ground attack aircraft; its reputation is based on its strike power and ability to withstand damage, not its beauty.

Its not often I look at a bike or scooter and imagine what kind of animal it could be, but when I saw the Gilera Fuoco in the flesh I immediately thought its appearance reminded me of a warthog.

The Gilera Fuoco, like the Piaggio MP3 whose front suspension it shares, carries a lot of visual bulk at the front – the two independently suspended front wheels and their electro-hydraulic tilt system are covered by a sort of monster proboscis. On the Gilera Fuoco that bulk is the location for four headlights, a central running light, a steel tube bull-bar and painted perforated metal radiator protectors.

It makes quite an impression and looks much better in the flesh than in the photographs.

The tough bull-barred look reflects what this machine is, the scooterist’s equivalent of an urban assault vehicle, while the extensive steel rails that run right around the back of the scooter provide excellent places to tie things down, meaning you will be able to strap on the bazooka no problem. The utilitarian theme is carried through to the footboards, which are covered in aluminium checquerplate, while the exposed handlebars are nicely finished in satin silver.

While the looks might take some getting used to, the riding doesn’t. This is an incredible machine and, like the Piaggio MP3, re-writes how scooters can feel and handle in the real world of midcorner gravel patches, tram tracks and slippery bitumen banding.

Power is provided by a 493cc fuel-injected single producing 29.4kW at 7250rpm. It is enough to propel the Fuoco to a top speed of about 150km/h. The drive is handled through a CVT and while the 244kg weight dents performance off the line, it’s no slouch once underway.

Longer and heavier than the Piaggio MP3 on which it is based, the Fuoco is much more composed when encountering mid-corner bumps. The MP3 with its softer set-up and smaller rear wheel can wallow, while the firmer suspension and more rigid swingarm of the Fuoco controls any pitching or wallowing movement much more quickly. This means that it handles better at speed, while retaining the incredible roadholding introduced with the MP3.

Initial impressions when riding the Fuoco are that the steering is heavier than a normal scooter, but this is soon forgotten as the

Fuoco responds to steering inputs as well as anything else. There is a switch on the right-hand switchblock that allows you to lock the front suspension at very low speeds, which means you don’t have to put your feet down when you stop. A light flashes on the dashboard to let you know when you are in the speed range that allows it.

Accelerating away releases the lock so there is no danger you will arrive at the next corner unable to turn.

The two front tyres provide excellent grip under brakes and, combined with triple discs, ensure short stopping distances. Unlike the MP3, the Fuoco runs a 140/70x14-inch rear tyre, but retains the same 120/70x12-inch front rubber. When braking hard mid-corner it does require a firm effort to keep it from standing up under brakes and you can feel the suspension struggling to cope through the bars, but you are able to push the front much more than you would on anything else.

Ground clearance is limited by the centrestand, but dragging the undercarriage doesn’t unsettle the scoot, and as the Fuoco is capable of being parked without it – you could easily take it off if cornering was your primary objective. My brief run combined some city traffic mayhem, speed limit monotony and some excellent winding open roads.

I have not experienced such confidence-inspiring front-end grip on a scooter before.

In fact, the front end works so well that I was going out of my way to try to upset it. When I was turning off main roads on to smaller ones

I made a point of riding over the gravel build-up off the wheeltracks; when I was on the freeway I rode into the emergency lane to see if the lane’s height difference upset it; but it was all in vain, even riding off a footpath was gentle experience if taken one wheel at a time.

Other neat touches include a sensor in the seat that prevents the front suspension unlocking when the engine is running unless someone is sitting on it. This should stop curious passers-by sending your parked and idling scooter down the road with no rider. The underseat storage is generous, holding a full-face helmet, while next to the light a 12v accessory outlet is provided. Importantly the shopping bag hook remains on the front legshield.

I was fortunate to ride both the Piaggio MP3 and Gilera Fuoco back to back, and without a doubt the Gilera Fuoco is my scooter of the year. Nothing comes close to providing the security and speed this machine offers over treacherous surfaces. The feathering of the tyres testament to how much load can be carried through corners. For experienced riders it’s a complete giggle and feels uncrashable; for the inexperienced or riders lacking in confidence it will provide levels of roadholding unmatched by other scooters. This is one warthog that won’t be scratching around in the dirt. Sensational.

Yamaha TMAX 500


Yamaha TMAX Revolution in 2008!

New TMAX extends its brief for 2008 with less weight, sleeker design and even sportier performance

Yamaha Australia

When Yamaha’s original TMAX hit the road in 2001 it changed the scooter world overnight.
For the very first time here was a large-capacity scooter that offered a passionate mix of exhilarating sports bike performance combined with scooter sophistication and functionality. The orginal TMAX started a scooter revolution.

The TMAX is an amazing fusion – a maxi-scooter that is big fun to ride on any kind of road – totally at home on city streets, on twisting country roads and in themotorway fast lane. So it was no surprise that so many riders fell in love with its intoxicating blend of performance and practicality, discovering that one bike really can do it all.

The 2008 TMAX takes that concept to the next level: it’s lighter and sleeker in design, with top performance from its powerful, hi-tech 499cc twin-cylinder engine. And the ride quality is improved along with increased agility, comfort, enhanced everyday convenience and upgraded environmental friendliness.

TMAX has the power to change lives with its awesomely versatile performance because flexibility means freedom to untangle oneself from the complexities of a busy modern lifestyle. Wherever you’re going in life, TMAX will take you there with a smile on your face.

The 2008 TMAX features radical new sports styling with sleek, sculpted bodywork, eye-grabbing headlight design and remarkable new muffler design that accentuate the original model’s image of sports performance and sophistication and maintain the machine’s impressive compactness.

The brilliantly avant-garde design retains the TMAX’s signature boomerang-shaped side covers and features elements of the ‘mass forward’ styling used inYamaha street bikes and supersport bikes to emphasise the TMAX’s front-biased weight distribution that promotes excellent rider control. Lighter body parts also contribute to the 2008 model’s 5kg weight reduction, and the new bodywork improves stability in side winds.

Of course, the new body keeps the weather at bay brilliantly, keeping the rider’s upper body, arms, legs and feet away from the wind and rain. And the new design windscreen is easily detachable to allow quick changes from the standard screen to a short sports screen (especially good for urban riding), which is available as
genuine Yamaha accessories.

The 2008 TMAX also features a classy new dash panel that offers all the information you need in an easy-to-read format. The triple instruments house analogue speedo, fuel gauge and temperature gauge plus digital clock.

2008 TMAX styling highlights

• Radical new sports styling with smooth, sculpted bodywork
• Eye-grabbing dual headlight design
• Remarkable new muffler design contributes to sleek, sporty look
• Lighter body parts contribute to 5kg weight reduction
• New bodywork improves stability in side winds
• Easily detachable windscreen


2008 TMAX chassis

The new TMAX was created for the street, for riders who want a sophisticated urban performer that can exhilarate like a motorcycle when pointed down twisting
country roads and wide-open motorways. But our commitment to the sports capabilities of this machine required that our development programme also included track-testing sessions.

Yamaha test riders evaluated the new TMAX on track to ensure that its all-new aluminium frame allows the machine to handle, steer and grip the road like a sports bike. The new frame, which replaces the original tubular steel unit, is constructed from a mix of extruded aluminium sections and cast aluminium sections formed by
Yamaha’s exclusive CF die-casting technology. This composite design allowed our engineers to create a lighter frame with an ideal rigidity balance that delivers both excellent handling characteristics and a superbly comfortable ride. The rigidity balance was fine-tuned during the development process, with the thickness of the aluminium sections changed time and again to achieve the perfect compromise between handling performance, stability and comfort.

The TMAX suspension settings have been retuned to complement the new frame’s superb performance.

Complementing the new frame is a 15-inch front wheel (previous models featured a 14-inch front) which delivers a more stable and more comfortable ride, especially over rougher road surfaces. Both front and rear wheels are of a classy new hollow three-spoke design in aluminium alloy, just like you’d find on a performance sports bike. The new TMAX also features wider diameter front forks (43mm, up from 41mm) and a 5mm longer wheelbase (1580mm, up from 1575mm) for surer handling and stability.

The result of these upgrades is a superbly neutral handling character that gives the rider that life-affirming sports bike sensation of controlling a machine that goes exactly where you point it, plus impressive stability at speed.

If the TMAX specs keep reminding you of a sports bike that’s no surprise because this is a scooter engineered like a sports bike. The TMAX braking system was always impressive – triple hydraulic disc brakes for stopping on a dime – but the 2008 model takes the sports spec another step forward with monobloc four-piston front brake calipers (with span-adjustable brake levers) for even more impressive stopping performance.

The 2008 TMAX weighs an impressive 5kg less than its predecessor thanks to a full range of weight-reducing measures right across the chassis, from the aluminium frame to the revised bodywork.

2008 TMAX chassis highlights

• All-new aluminium frame
• Optimised suspension settings for even better handling
• 15-inch front wheel, new design alloy wheels
• Larger diameter front fork (from 41mm to 43mm)
• Overall weight reduced by 5kg

2008 TMAX engine features

That original TMAX looked very much like a scooter but its engine performance made it much more than that. Like the TMAX itself, the hi-tech engine has a dual nature – beautifully mild-mannered on the one hand but capable of mightily impressive performance on the other!

The TMAX’s impressive 499cc twin-cylinder engine offers the kind of performance that won’t disappoint experienced sports bike riders.
Featuring digital fuel injection, four valves per cylinder and a compression ratio of 11.0:1, the TMAX delivers brilliant acceleration for swift urban getaways and effortless overtaking. And an inbuilt balancer shaft ensures silky smooth cruising.

The 2008 TMAX engine features a host of detail refinements designed to improve overall efficiency and therefore simultaneously enhance performance and environmental friendliness. Most importantly, engineers worked on the fuel injection mapping, air intake, combustion chamber and exhaust system to achieve a
beautifully balanced engine with crisp throttle response and user- friendly power delivery that perfectly matches the chassis character and the fully automatic transmission system.

The air intake improvements came courtesy of the aluminium frame, which allows the air cleaner to be mounted closer to the engine for increased intake efficiency. The latest TMAX also features a dramatic new sports muffler design that contributes to the 2008 model’s sleek, sporty styling and includes increased catalytic
converter capacity for cleaner emissions to EU3 standards.

2008 TMAX engine highlights

• Revised fuel injection mapping, air intake and exhaust
• Improved engine efficiency delivers more performance and fewer
emissions
• Remarkable new muffler design contributes to sleek, sporty look
• Increase catalytic converter capacity also improves
environmental friendliness
• Forward inclined angle of the cylinders with reciprocating
balancer delivers compact, low centre of gravity, and low
vibration
• Digital fuel injection means superb power characteristics
• Fully auto transmission means hassle-free, twist-and-go riding


2008 TMAX comfort and convenience features

At the heart of the TMAX’s dual nature is its ability to combine sports performance with class-leading scooter comfort and convenience. This is a scooter that’s built to keep not one but two people happy with deluxe comfort for rider and passenger that would shame some tourers.

The two-step dual seat has been reprofiled for improved leg reach to the ground and thus enhanced low-speed control and confidence.
The sumptuously padded unit is as hugely accommodating and supporting as ever, with plenty of room for rider and passenger to remain comfortable even on longer trips. The seat also features a new, dual-textured material for added comfort. Sturdy alloy Developed for duality: TMAX offers the best of both sport and convenience worlds grabrails ensure that the passenger feels confident and secure at all times.

The practicalities of everyday life were a major consideration in this TMAX redesign, so the 2008 model features several detail improvements for added convenience. The new bodywork includes a second glovebox just below the left handlebar, handy for carrying coins for tolls, parking tickets or other small items. The new aluminium frame also freed up more space for the fuel tank which is now almost seven percent bigger than that featured on previous models, up one litre to 15 litres for improved range and thus less need for fuel stops. And a new seat hinging system makes it easier to pack and unpack the underseat locker.

2008 TMAX comfort and convenience highlights
• Reprofiled seat for improved low-speed control and confidence
• Lighter sculpted bodywork
• Better resistance to side winds
• Extra glovebox within bodywork
• Larger fuel tank capacity
• New seat hinging system for easier packing/unpacking
• Standard fitment immobiliser for added security


TMAX – the background story

The TMAX was unveiled to the European press in Italy, during July 2000 and went on sale the following year. The machine was acclaimed by everyone who rode it and very soon there were many imitations, but none have been able to match its unique blend of sporty sensation and deluxe ride. Yamaha has a unique feel for this sector of the market because the original maxi-scooter was Yamaha’s Majesty 250, launched in 1994.

The T of TMAX stands for twin, as in twin-cylinder scooter, but also for twin as in dual purpose. This is a unique creation that’s more like two machines, each with its own job: to excite you like a motorcycle and to be as easy to live with as a scooter. There is a real art to creating a machine that can do it all. You could even argue that it’s a more complex task than designing a machine that’s focused on just one type of riding, like a supersport bike or a cruiser.

The 2008 TMAX continues the original theme of duality, its in- depth development programme was conceived to enhance its commuter functionality, sports bike performance, tourer comfort and environmental credentials.

Scooter Review

Yamaha XP500 TMAX

From a standing start, the T-Max has the potential to surprise just about every four-wheeled vehicle and most two-wheelers as well.

Words by TRENT NIKOLIC, photography by LOU MARTIN

The young punk on the R6 keeps checking his rear vision mirror, wondering what’s going on. You know the type.

Riding in shorts, sneakers, no gloves and a singlet. He can’t seem to grasp the fact that there’s an annoying but urprisingly large scooter following him round every bend and not disappearing into his rear vision mirror every time he gets on the gas. In fact, the big Yamaha actually seems to be gaining on him.

That’s how it is on the Yamaha T-Max. It might be a scooter on the outside, but underneath it’s got the heart and handling characteristics of a sportsbike.

You’d scarcely believe it, but since we last rode the T-Max in 2006, it’s gotten even bigger in some areas and in others it has shrunk: it’s now 5kg lighter! The rear wheel size is up to 15-inches and the front forks are also slightly larger in diameter, which together with the die-cast/fabricated aluminium frame replacing the old tubular steel unit, delivers an improved ride and more stability. The fuel tank has been enlarged to 15 litres and that’s no bad thing, because after five minutes aboard the T-Max, you’ll be looking for excuses to keep riding.

The seat has been resculpted for extra rider comfort and passengers haven’t been forgotten either with new handgrips for pillions. The windscreen has also been redesigned and offers better protection than that of the outgoing model. Last time we rode the T-Max, we commented on the alluring rasp emitted by the 499cc motor with each concerted twist of the throttle and the new model delivers an even sweeter note thanks to an all new muffler.

The model updates don’t stop there either. Both front and rear fairings have been redesigned and there’s even additional storage now too. The T-Max follows the Yamaha mantra of looking blisteringly fast standing still, but in contrast to many of its scooter brethren, the T-Max actually delivers.

The liquid cooled, four-stroke, 499cc, fuel-injected motor remains positioned slightly further back and lower down than in most scooters and its improved torque flow will encourage you to use every bit of the power on offer.

The styling is a ‘love it or hate it’ design with the tall screen and large fairing that surrounds the headlamps making the front look rather bulky from some angles. Head on, the T-Max puts forward an interesting face. In contrast, the rear end is somewhat smoother and sleeker. The fairing may be bulky, but weather protection is excellent and there’s little of the buffeting you’d expect even when stronger cross winds come into play.

Practicality has always been high on the list of scooter owners and the T-Max is even more useful than the previous model. There are extremely handy storage pockets on either side of the front fairing that will swallow up wallets, mobile phones, sunglasses and keys with ease and in the left compartment, there’s a slide in drawer that safely houses credit cards and the like.

The ignition lock operates the seat lock and it’s a little clumsy when you’re in a hurry trying to find the correct position for the handlebars in order to activate the seat lock. Having said that, that’s our only real gripe with the T-Max. Once found, lift the front section and the rear-hinged seat lifts effortlessly on its hydraulic strut to reveal an enormous storage compartment large enough to store a helmet and a few shopping bags without fuss. Further evidence of the T-Max’s ergonomic friendliness is the fact that the underseat compartment is illuminated and lined with a removable carpet trim. The hinged flap at the front of the seat lifts forward for easy access to the fuel filler.

There’s both a centrestand and sidestand. While the centrestand is easy to use when you lift the T-Max onto it, it’s a little more complex to get off. Due to the width of the seat, it’s hard to get enough grip under your feet, so we found it easier to take the scooter off the centrestand, while standing next to it using the grab handle.

On the move, the T-Max is undoubtedly in its element. The automatic belt transmission works beautifully in tandem with the throttle control and delivers crisp, snatch free acceleration from a standing start or roll on from partial throttle openings. From a standing start, the T-Max has the potential to surprise just about every fourwheeled vehicle and most two-wheelers as well. Blessed with a low centre of gravity and long wheelbase, there’s simply a smooth controllable surge of acceleration that will fast leave the traffic in your rear view mirrors.

The ride is surprisingly firm, yet well damped with the T-Max soaking up Sydney’s below average roads in its stride. Twin telescopic forks take care of the ride up front, while a double-sided swing arm (that incorporates the belt and final drive) pivots on the engine crankcase out back. The rear spring is mounted horizontally under the engine and keeps the rear tyre from skittering about over ruts and bumps. Your confidence will grow with each kilometre thanks to impressive grip from the OE Bridgestones and lean angle is only limited by the sound of the centrestand dragging on the tarmac.

You’ll almost certainly find yourself doing this!

While the acceleration is impressive, the braking performance is perhaps even more so. Twin disc brakes up front work in concert with a single disc at the rear to deliver straight, accurate braking with a large dollop of engine braking also helping to arrest speed rapidly. If you’ve only ever ridden two-stroke twist and go scooters, you’ll be mightily impressed by the T-Max.

When you’re aboard the T-Max, there’s no more concern about avoiding motorways, highways and longer journeys. This maxi is aimed fair and square at the rider that not only has the weekday commute in mind, but is also looking for a bike that can revel in longer rides, hit the highway with confidence and carry a pillion without raising a sweat.
