Seriously one of the best videos I've seen. I like that actually show off the bike more and gave a really good idea of how much space is .under the seats. I'm fixing to get my moped soon for year round riding. It's definitely going to save me on gas and be a great help going to college and work.

I am so grateful for your review as I am new to the scooter market and this video covers the basic. Keep up!

Enjoyed your review; fantastic bike, the Majesty. Ride safe and enjoy!

Joseph M, your video helped me decide to buy a Yamaha Majesty. I had been aiming for a Suzuki Burgman 400. But watching this really hit me. I posted about it on my blog (1 Up On 2 Wheels) and embedded your video there. Thanks for sharing!

Just bought a used Majesty...looking forward to watching more of your stuff. Lots to learn. Keep it up.

Very informative video! Thanks for posting it. Thinking about buying one of these.

Very well-made video. Thanks for the effort and sharing this with us. Well done!

I use to have a Majesty. Man iy was awesome for long periods. I want it back. Great wind protection.

Very nice description of your bike thanks for sharing .

thumbs up! great review, I can feel you do like this beast

Awesome video bro. I'm looking at buying one of these right now so this really helps. Thanks George

Nice job on the video. Very cool bike.

Thank you for sharing with us ,especially the comparison with the Bergman 400, I may like this one even better...

Thank you for showing.

Enjoyed your review and have the Majesty on my "radar" screen for later this year. My bullet-proof Honda Sh150i is great, but the wife wants to come along and well..the Majesty looks like a logical candidate.

Thanks for the reply. I like your easy to view Yamaha Majesty video.

Very nice bike, man! I will be upgrading somewhat soon. Money's funny right now but it will get better. And when it does, that's what I'll be looking to do!!!

Your review was amazing in comparison to others who speed around with trashy techno music. Thanks so much!! Very helpful in my decision making!

Thanks a million for the review, going out to buy a 2007 Majesty right now and your video just convinced me more that this is the right bike. Cheers!

Very good walk around, very informative.

Thanks for posting. I generally get 64 MPG with my 2005. Best I got was 73 MPG. Good for running around a small town and back roads. Enough spunk to work on hIghways but I stay off of them as crazy people are driving there. e.

Cracking little bike - just bought an 04 one for my 15 mile commute. Keep the mileage down on my 1200GS. Thanks for the vid. very useful.

I purchase the same Maxi-Scooter March 2012. It's a great scooter. You well more than 50 mpg on the freeway. Great video and have fun with it.

Hello, I really like your videos, they are very informative. I have just purchased a new 2013 majesty. I have a question about the coolant system. I got my bike on July 24,2013 and have only driven it 30 miles. On July 26, 2013 after a six mile drive after I parked the bike in the driveway, I noticed coolant leaking from the bike out of a thin black hose at the bottom of the bike. It poured out very quickly for about 30 seconds and then it stopped. Is it just the bike breaking in? Or is

Very good review. I like the bike.

I really like this bike and it's 8 inch flesh light. I am going to look at one that I found on line tomorrow. If it is as good as this one I will buy it.

Thanks ,good review

Yeah, I fell in love with the storage and the automatic transmission on this bike. It outweighed the coolness of the CBR250R for me. There are a lot of times when I find myself saying, "What would I do without the under-seat storage?". Plus I wanted somethings that's comfortable on the freeway for me and my GF. We commute to college.

bench175 Thanks man I tried those screws they won’t budge. I appreciate the response though.

Good work, bench175. Have that link to a Burgman 400?

This bike is very similar to an Apprilia 500. I purchased a 2004 last October for $2,400, it is very utilitarian also. Plenty of power and 50+ mpg... I really like it. I have almost 2000 miles on it since then... I had a Chinese 150 and going to this Italian bike is like going from a VW to a BMW...

Thanks. I really like the Vortex, which we got for my girlfriend. I went for a lower price option myself, currently matte black EXO-400.

I've got the newly-designed, Piaggio BV350. It's my 1st PTW, and although it took a little time getting used to the weight, I just took the MSF course and stayed clear of high traffic until I was ready. It weighs 390, I've had it six months, does very well for highway commuting and light touring, and it makes more sense to me than buying a bike that one knows will be too small in a few months. It's 330 cc with 32.8 hp, 23.8. Top speed--86. It's perfect for me except windscreen is too small.

Tnx, good video, think I'll get one....

Thanks. It's the best if you want the storage and will be riding with a passenger a lot of the time, which I do.

Couple of more points about the BV350...23.8 is peak torque; MSRP last year @ $5499 but raised to $5699 in January. It's the size of a 300 (like Kymco People and Sym CityCom) but more power than any 300 out there. Can easily cruise at 75 and there is an after-market screen for $219 plus shipping that one needs to make it a true tourer. It returns low 60s mpg for avg. riders. I'm averaging 70 mpg in my highway commute @ 60 mph (a little better summer; a little worse in winter). Tons of storage.

Yeah, I would have checked it out, but it wasn't around when I got this Majesty. Does it hold 2 full face helmets? I'm always riding with my GF and we love how we can store our helmets inside. This is one thing I've always wondered about the BV350.

Hello! nice review! have you found any problems with the 400cc on the free way? i was looking at a 600cc honda but i like the yamaha has more storage. are you able to ride hills no problem? thanks for the review!

Yes, I'm pretty sure all modern motorcycle can be ridden in the rain. I found this quote on the MajestyUSA forum: "Again, I'v been riding this bike for 2.5 years, through wind, sun, rain, summer, winter, spring and autumn. It is in fact my sole transportation fully by choice." Just stay off the road for the first 15 min of rain to let the oil wash away, and make sure your tires are good.

Yes, it is liquid-cooled. And I definitely agree that it's nice not to shift all the time.

I've had the Burgman,200,400,650. I like all of them. I ride the 200 more than I ride my Harley Electra Glide limited.I sold the 400,and the 650. So I have a road trip ride and a beach cruiser.

That was the clearest, most matter-of-fact, useful scooter review I've seen so far on KZread. Excellent. If only others were as factual and showed relevant, close up shots in this same manner. Thank you! Only advice I can offer is if you intend to keep riding in winters, and your scooter can support an extra 50 watt electrical load, heated grips are really, really nice. Oxford makes a good set.

Very true, I forgot about the automatic transmission factor...

Sorry to hear that. What part are you having trouble with? How good are you at riding a tall bicycle? I'll make you a video if you really need it.

Nice scooters, looking to switch to a scooter like this from a regular motorcycle. Much more practical for everyday transport I think.

I get 65 mpg on my 2007 Burgman. I’ve had it for three months now. Bought it with less than 2000 miles on it. I love to ride it.

How much did you pay? I just bought an 09 with 8k for 1600 hundred.

I owned one and loved it rode it everywhere had to sell it unfortunately

Does it have engine breaking? When opening up the throttle, do the RPM's dip on the way up, or do they do a steady climb?

Had 2 Bergman 400s the only thing I didn't like about them was the sound of them running. Sounded like a sick chain saw

Yes the same, halfway mark once warmed up.

Does anyone know how to fix or replace the light he talks about at 5:57 ( under the seat dome light ) .....my light has never worked since the first day i bought it, and I can’t find any info online regarding it. Any help would be great!

I love this motorcycle

What’s going man I’m looking to buy one of this or an xmax 300 I like the majesty cause is a lil faster I would think just wanted to ask if is worth to still buy one of this scooter in 2022 cause of the parts for it.? In your experience is this bike reliable.? Is it good for 2 people to ride on the highway I had a few bikes n scooters myself but I’m tired of shifting gears so I’m in between those 2 bikes nice video your feed back would be gladly appreciated 🤙🏼

I think the majesty 400 is a great bike,, if I ever get a chance I'll buy one

How many miles did you put on this bike? There is one near me selling for $3000 with 5000 miles. Trying to get an idea of how long this bike lasts.

Beautiful scooter man

What temperature does your temperature gauge read when you ride? Mine is at the halfway mark

Is it liquid cooled? Very cool though. I to like the deep sound it has and like my 250 Honda elite because of the automatic making it easier. do want to upgrade, but sometimes its just nice not to have to worry about the gears.

Nice job. I have a new Vortex helmet, myself (Flack blue).

Yeah, that sounds perfect. The BV also has a lot of style compared to the Majesty.

Excellent video, I've been a fan of the Majesty for a long time. The mpg has always baffled me? The similar Burgman will get high 60s & my Honda Silverwing averages 56, with a lot bigger engine? Still a rock solid scoot!!

Thank you.

Nice

No, that has never happened to me. Nothing should ever leak. The dealer needs to fix that for you. Sorry about that. BTW, congrats on the scooter!

this is better than burgman 400 .my opinion. built quality, design better for traffic jams(less gearth) and yamaha reliability. i think a 300 cc new model is on the way to us (xmax in eu, majesty here in usa) fingers crossed!

I LOVE SCOOTERS!!!!

About to buy one of these tomorrow hopefully it is worth it has 9000 miles on it

Sorry, no, haven't kept up really. But if I were to get one now, I'd look at a Kymco X-town for the good price, and since I already had a car, the scooter doesn't really need to reach highway speeds

Just got the burgman 650 its crazy

It does have engine braking but not much. Other Majesty owners say that the disc brakes are no problem on hills. Google search "majesty concerns about steep downhill" to find the thread on the topic. And, there is one dip in RPM's during acceleration. You can see it on my 0-60 MPH video.

One more question, how did you move from a vino classic of 150lbs to a majesty with 467 pounds and not drop the bike? I'm having issues riding because I'm afraid I will drop it.

That is a very good bike.

Looks great.. and it looks comfortable. Personally i prefer riding a scooter but for some reason many people can't understand that

Having owned both maxi-scooters and a traditional MC, I prefer the scooters.

Did you ask the dealer to adjust the seat to the back-most position? The seat can be adjusted forward and backward, 2-3 inches I think.

This is quite late since your review. How would you determine a Majesty with low miles that has been non-oped for 10 years to be a good value? The partner died and he bought the pair for touring. I need some help to make this purchase .

I love mine 👍

This is better than the Burgman 400. I have studied them both and this Majesty is the one that I decided to buy. I consider it to be better than the Burgman 650. The Burgman has some plastic gears that are prone to stripping.

@johnklumpp7901

5 жыл бұрын

The drive geartrain in my Burgman Exec consists of straight-cut metal construction, and after 9 years on the road there is no evidence of anything like "stripping". I do agree though that the Majesty 400 (owned one earlier) is more comfortable than the Burgman Exec for touring. However, with 54HP on tap, the Burgman 650 has enough power to draw a small trailer- which can be used to haul home items like a Motor-mower, a Dishwasher, or a Refrigerator. www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/272621134577_/07-Suzuki-AN650-A-AN-650-Burgman-Scooter.jpg

If it work's for U Luv it! .. i starded on a 250cc scooter luved it and moved on to a Er6n.. Miss the storage and the windscreen and the gas milage. ride safe

How did you find this scooter ? I'm trying to find one online, did you use a certain website? I can't seem to find one of these for the life of me.

I bought the 2012 Maj. I have 8,000+ miles on it as of 2013. I have used it mostly on urban freeways. I have to say it is everything I was looking for in two wheels. It is great on gas, has a nice power band in the 60s or so for quick acceleration at high speeds on the freeway. It is very stable on the freeways with its weight. I added some saddle bags and a top box for storage and it does the job-I can get a weeks worth of groceries on it including cases of coke. Of course I'd prefer a faster two wheeler, but practicality won out over a motorcycle, especially on storage.

Damn, dude. You do a lot of riding. I have about 8,500 miles after two years. I'm in the same boat as you. The top speed is more than enough, and I usually out-accelerate cars, but we always want more acceleration.

For sure. After I'm done with school, I'm switching to the CBR or Ninja too.
