Once you get over your preconceived notions of size, the majesty behaves like a much smaller machine. Undoubtedly one of the largest scooters on the market, the Majesty is surprisingly fun and easy to ride.

All these 'gay' comments are hilarious. Especially from the Harley types. You don't think that handlebar mustaches and leather chaps are gay, trailer queens?

OK for the people who are dissing this...

he says it get 51 MPG now that is nice better than most cars.

So hey maybe its not all a bad idea, it may not be the prettiest thing on the road but hey its a vehicle its supposed to work not look good.

@Tinstar2 Actually, they make a lot of sense for anyone who can ride a bike. It has so much built-in storage while still looking very nice. I hate seeing saddlebags on a nice looking bike.

Check out my detailed walk-around of my new 2009 Majesty 400. I also have a vid with my GF on the back.

I've just bought a brand new one, filled it with fuel, travelled 80 miles on motorway at an average 75mph, when i got home half a tank left.. very disappointing. Other than that i like the machine.

Brand new, 2012 model...$6,750.00. Can't beat it. These bikes make a lot of sense for aging baby boomers like me, with bad knees, herniated disc in the neck, and just not as strong as I used to be. Can still ride and have more fun on two wheels than when I was a kid. I have a SYM RV250 and love it. Just wanting something a little more powerful for my ever increasing weight! Nothing gay about it...believe me.

@Ashleyallen918 Agreed. The 2011 model I believe is asking around $8k new - and that's cheaper than even the cheapest car on the road (the new Nissan Versa), and that 51 MPG figure? $8k for a commuter scooter, or $23-$33k for a Prius? Ya know? :)

@bomaoneuk but your sportbike has shit comfort comparing to this.and shit storage room..or wait..none at all.Different purpose vehicles.

@apricotsnms516 :D HAHA! The only reason I didn't go faster was because visions of my wife and kids were popping into my head. #gotscared

@krazyjuicedan No, it didn't. It made 26.7hp. The Majesty makes 33. ww.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model­/honda/honda_cb400-ii%2078.htm Don't just make stuff up because you don't like scooters, as you will be called on it.

[gunspinner101]

@bomaoneuk well no shit. Your bikes 600cc not a MOPED. and if im not clear. these mopeds are super fast considering the fact that they go over 100+ when normal mopeds bearly can hit 45 mph. I own 3 scooters/bikes. a honda xr650l a 2009 yamaha majesty 400 and a tiny little 33cc viza viper gas scooter. (fun to cruise around the neighborhood) and let me tell you I prefer my majesty over my honda bike, Its smoother and more reliable even if the honda goes way faster.

[TarlZaralka]

That is beautiful. I want one
