The Yamaha T-Max is already a very nice and good-looking vehicle as it is, and maybe this is why so many modders and customizers are choosing it to build something even niftier.
Roland Sands has also picked a T-Max, but instead of adding, they went the other way, stripping down the maxi scooter as much as possible, but replacing all they took off with a massive dose of “extraordinary”.
Looking at the new T-Max it's really hard to recognize the initial machine. All the modern design and neatly-trimmed plastic fairing gave way to a naked scooter design blending in the retro cafe-racer attitude and a dash of steampunk influence.
But if you think the resulting bike is a machine for the laid-back rider, you're so wrong: the Roland Sands-modified T-Max is all about racing. A clean shape and old-school ribbed seat, dual thundering silencers, a racing rear cowl and a track-approved front end, they all account for the racing-inspired new scooter.
It sounds awesome, it looks even better and it also seems like a ride on the Roland Sands T-Max is quite a thrill. Not the blazing Lazareth, but by far scooter-modding at its stylish best.
