In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “85, you think it’s a Tmax?” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 1703 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3498 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “85, you think it’s a Tmax?” meme mean?

The line sums up defending yourself with a technical detail nobody cares about. He does not deny riding on a public road; he only corrects the engine size, as if that settled the matter. People use it to tease a beside-the-point excuse, calm bad faith or a pedantic correction that misses the issue. It can also be said with wounded pride, when someone feels offended by a harmless mix-up. Among friends it slips in whenever somebody answers a question by clinging to an irrelevant detail.

Where does the “85, you think it’s a Tmax?” meme come from?

The meme is taken from a filmed exchange between police officers and a young man from a housing estate. One officer explains that his vehicle has no business on the public road; the young man answers that it is an 85cc motorbike, not a Tmax, the large scooter made by Yamaha. The gap between the seriousness of the stop and a reply fixated on mechanics turned the scene into a line quoted in videos, audio edits and comments. The Tmax is a familiar sight in urban two-wheeler culture, which gives the phrase its street flavour and its easy punchline.

How to use the “85, you think it’s a Tmax?” meme
