After riding my BMS V9 EVO 150cc for the last month, I decided to upgrade. So last night I bought a 2007 Yamaha Majesty 400cc Silver. Were to start: Well I went back and forth between this the Suzi and the Honda. Now being I have always had Yamaha dirt bikes quads and SXS's it was kind of a leaning choice. Now as most know all these sized beasts all look close to the same, so it came down to price, condition, miles and who wanted to sell it for what I wanted to pay Found my victim not too far from my house. He had the product I had the fresh blue crispy REAL bills and the title was transfered. So today is the start, I have had a blast so far and found me getting off this thing to even stop for a drink, pee, and bathroom was tough. This beast has a very responsive throttle, off the start slow but man after 15mph that thing takes off like a rocket. The sound is not whimpy by any means. I love that this thing has good leg room, I am 5'11'' 215 pounds and not one ounce of a issue, specially up hills and on the freeway, btw that was a butthole puckering experiance! Now, as for storage, my little gem does not include a trunk like my last bike, but no fear the underseat is huge! I can place my full face helmet, ipad, and a bunch of other things I prob dont need. So in closing, I like her, she runs well, does what I was looking for and I am not changing gears. I stop at a light on a hill hit the parking break and rest hands free! BTW it has exterior speakers, let's just say ipod plugged in and music loud, Stare away people it costs me $5 a week to drive what cost you $60! No future mods planned, I like how she runs no need to mess with her. If I knew how to upload pics VIA my ipad we would have some to share!

Congrats on a great purchase. Coming from a 150, it is a big step up, and probably one of the best scooters out there..

Nice! When my Jonway kicks the bucket, I would like to find a good deal on a Majesty to replace it. Extra CC would be nice with the highway riding I do... only thing I don't like is the lack of a trunk box, but I understand that they make up for it with other amenities...

I went through the same kind of selection process. Welcome to the Yamaha super scooter clan. I still have the same don't-want-to-get-off feeling from my TMAX 18 months and 12,000 miles later. I only have an 6 to 8 month riding season. Winter interferes with my riding. 300 pounds of me, about 100 pounds of camping equipment and supplies in a one wheel trailer behind me. I found out keeping with traffic in the fast lane during a Columbus Ohio rush hour I STILL have a little more oomph to go at + MPH. Enjoy the ride, try to keep the speed down. I still have trouble with that.

howdy and congrats. I think that you can't go wrong with that choice. I also liked the t-max but my dealer wanted full price for the new 3year old one on the showroom. wouldn't budge. so i'm riding and liking piaggio and having really perfect reliability now with 16,000 miles plus on the two. way to go lotsa miles and smiles to ya ken

Spunn,
Mighty SWEET! Hope you have a million happy miles!
I particularly like that silver color... It goes great with that hotrod Chrysler in the background! The 300 has been one of my favorite cars sine the fifties!

I love the 300, but to be honest I hated them at first. Them I drove one and fell in love. Also just bought a ford flex silver of course! Great ride
