2012 Yamaha TMAX WGP 50th Anniversary Edition Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2012 Yamaha TMAX WGP 50th Anniversary Edition scooter motorcycle, Yamaha pairs a 499 cc (30.5 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 38 HP (27.7 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 44 Nm (32.5 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 76.2 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the TMAX WGP 50th Anniversary Edition measures 222 kg (489 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.84 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,580 mm (62.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 375 km (233 miles) between fill-ups.
