BMW C 600, Yamaha T Max 530 - Prove Moto
And a condensed Google Translation into English...:
Face-off between BMW C 600 Sport and the Yamaha TMAX 530 is a challenge that transcends the pure performance and philosophizes on two different schools of thought
The BMW C 600 Sport and the Yamaha TMAX 530 are the leading exponents of a hybrid race created in the laboratory and then crazed, wild beasts who trust only their own bosses and no one else. In any case, these two maxi sports offer a discrete practicality, which is then their real strength compared to motorcycles.
There are plenty of convenient drawers in leg shield (but more spacious with sliding unappealing on the BMW), the 12V socket (absent on the Yamaha), adjustable windshield (with two knobs for German, an allen wrench for the Japanese), convenient management instrumentation (the Sport button on the handlebar within reach of an inch), the parking brake (the German is automatically activated with the opening of the side stand) and the inevitable underseat storage: discreet for the TMAX, something in addition to the C-Sport, which grows in the park thanks to FlexCase, a "bag" stretch that finds its limit in the impossibility to use it in gear. On balance, the BMW wins the first round against a TMAX accustomed to reign unchallenged for 10 years now and not in terms of its rich endowment.
But then, just watch and Iwata will win the maxi with those big eyes "Puss in Boots" Shrek is so beautiful that shines with its own light, while the German, despite the coat of arms and the higher price, it loses comparison on attention to detail and perceived quality. It can only look away so as not to be blinded by the finishes delicious version BlackMax scooter Yamaha components in gold (too flashy), the velvet lining of the saddle (pure lust) and the magnificent "two-tone" black on black.
Yes, because here we have compared two schools of thought, the German (and European in general) who wants to transport performance combined with cycling solid against the Japanese, voted agility. In short, driving stability against execution speed, brute force vs. flexibility: we are no longer in the skin.
Checkered Flag down, gas and hammer away at the hull along the mile and a half of straight asphalt, for a heads up that sees the C 600 Sport cut the line first: what mom pushes German! The BlackMax shoots all his cartridges in the first meters of departure thanks to its excellent transmission, which throws him off like a slingshot. The C-Sport, however, suffers a slight uncertainty on the part of the clutch, that "unstuck" with a second delay each time you open everything, as if scalasse a pair of gears. Overcome the hesitation, the BMW on the obverse is a lippa, the difference in power (13.5 hp more) is so clear that while svernici the TMAX can also berti coffee.
But power is not everything, especially if it is accompanied by a physical hypertrophic and inelastic. Between the curves, in fact, the 600 Bavarian pay a tonnage not indifferent, with its 251.5 kg detected that are felt all, not so much in the maneuvers as between the curves in sequence, where the change of direction is physically demanding.
A whole other world TMAX, much less heavy, with a slightly lower center of gravity and a truly enviable rapidity of movement, are also allowed to share cycling less conservative. The suspension, with their calibrations incurred but less braking than the BMW, as well as giving a little help in the ups and downs, allow you to have a greater feeling with the scooter is in corner entry and on exit, where he earns good meters thanks to the excellent response gas: damn that bother see the tail of the TMAX away ...
The C-Sport recovers everything on the brakes, where most rigidity limits the load transfers and lets you squeeze in the bottom front discs, more powerful and modular. Usually all the scooters have a little front end "communicative" in the input curve, instead of the sporty BMW is able to offer a good feeling, which then also keeps in sharp bends. Well even the TMAX, but showed a greater tendency to sway in the rear when you force movements.
The test has come to an end and the result is that in the end, as often happens, there's a real winner: the two basic scooter you look like a lot, but the differences found in the guide make sure that everything depends on your personal taste . Sure, the TMAX is the TMAX.
