I recently took a look at the new Arrow Pista full exhaust system. Arrow describes this exhaust as "designed for the most powerful superbikes" and built to "take the ideal line without compromise." However, looking at the vehicle specifications, the system is intended for the Yamaha TMAX 560 .
This got me thinking about how we actually view large maxi-scooters. The TMAX rides impressively, but at the end of the day, it's still just a scooter with a CVT transmission.
To those of you who have owned or modified a maxi-scooter: If you're buying a high-quality racing exhaust system, is your primary goal really maximum performance and weight reduction – like with a superbike? Or is changing the exhaust on your scooter primarily about the sound?
