It's later in life that childhood dreams come to life. After years and years of work and growing up comes that one gift to get giddy about - sports cars, vacation houses, and all things glamorous. Spending big for yourself becomes viable. Special purchases represent the success earned over a lifetime. In some way, our past dreams come back to reward us later on.

For the man who was that kid gawking with wonder at older motorcyclists clad in cool gear over childhood weekends, they look to Yamaha now for their own getaway ride. Yamaha's a staple for a reason. It sets a hard standard for what a quality two-wheel ride should be. Lasting reliability and sporty performance combined with an array of inspired designs make it a modern beast on the road.

The MAX series has long represented that best for the brand. It's a premium lineup that exemplifies luxury and quality. European-centric design surrounds a high performing engine. A leisurely ride with light handling is ensured while still reaching that top speed. The TMAX too follows suit with its iconic ability to seamlessly meld sports performance with everyday riding convenience. After all, it pioneered the Sport and Scooter class.

Topping those two are hard tasks. Yet, the NMAX and XMAX bikes take up that challenge with prestige, confidence, and boundless potential.
