[MrGrumpy]

EICMA announcements in full flow! Yamaha unveil a new version of the Xmax (paint job) and a 300cc three wheeler, which clearly is somewhat bigger than the the Tricity.

Looks just cosmetic stuff although:
Yamaha will also be introducing three new XMAX specific accessory packs, The Urban Pack comes with a 39-litre top box, backrest pad, high screen, rear carrier and bag with compartment divider. The Sport Pack comes with a sports screen, foot panels, licence plate holder and plastic covers. Finally, the Winter Pack comes with heated grips, with heat indicator panel, as well as an apron and battery charger.

Looks like the IronMax seat is more sculpted at the sides - might make it easier for shorties like me?

A narrower seat certainly helps if the vertically challenged

Whilst talking about Yamahas, I've just got an e-mail from Capital Moto in Clapham High Street (No idea why, as I've never dealt with them) saying that they now have a Tmax DX, and Xmax 400 and an Xmax 300 all available as demonstrators. So might be of interest to some in the SE.

I also read that at EICMA, they announced Yamaha is introducing new colours to the Tmax for 2019. But it didn't say what colours.

Knowing bike manufacturers these days, probably two more shades of grey.....

Ah but in the UK we'll just be given the one choice of grey and not allowed the other.

A man even more cynical than me!! I guess that I must be fair to Piaggio who sell Vespas in all sorts of groovy colours!
