The first thing that comes to mind is that before you a small pleasure yacht, very expensive and prestigious. I say at once, upon further acquaintance initial impression only strengthened. New season of 2004 - Yamaha Majesty 400 scooter is fully developed until the engine from scratch. The impressive hull lines c huge frontal fairing and at least a large windshield, luggage many possible niches and glove compartments, with a high feed baggy sofa. Crowned it all - the vast size of spoiler, a scattering of lights LED stop lamp socket and a solid high-caliber silencer. That's just the front part of the scooter is painfully average, not that snake eyes Burgman or wasp Nexus.
It is strange that admiring this piece of technological progress, but the thoughts about technology, hidden under a plastic cover, is. For some reason, you are sure that everything is OK. I picked up a fist and will force myself to look under the chassis bottom. See, there is also the engine IS! And not just the motor, and a four-liter capacity of 395 cc dual overhead camshafts, fuel injection system reduces vibration and counterweight shaft with a capacity of 34 hp Engine interlocked, as befits scooter with a CVT automatic. And the layout of the machine gives every reason to believe that this is a scooter, though the royal scale: 223 cm in length - something serious. We sit behind the wheel, turn the key in the lock, remove the running board and squeezes the brake (or the engine is not - scooter). Only after these manipulations of the engine comes to life on the starter button. While warming up the engine, get acquainted with the working place, in which wheel type Apehanger (high grip made as to the tourer BMW), scooter controls perfectly coexist with great dash, probably borrowed from subcompact. Speedometer, tachometer, daily, turnaround, the total mileage (km), engine temperature, fuel level, clock, a standard set of switches, plus high beam and blinker ... parking brake lever (on a scooter!) ... Yet something is missing! Yes, heated handles. What is the flaw. Under the steering column Lockable glove compartment car, which easily fit a raincoat and gloves, and next - less, here we put the wallet and cell phone (with the arsenal of a rich man can go at least to tour around the world). It is a pity that Yamaha does not completes the model tape recorder, a place to install it abound. Another 59 liter capacity (with backlight) is under the seat. I suppose a case of vodka in it will not fit, but if you pull a bottle out of the box, it still remains the place for a snack.
Landing at the wheel of the apparatus - a classic chopper. You sit deep, very wide at the seat and back support and hands are relaxed, the legs are extended forward - in short, a complete relaxation. On landing at the comfort Majesty can be compared to Honda GoldWing. Plant a girlfriend back with the appropriate class of scooter forms. Hips are the ladies arms and chest (thank stepped seat) - improvised seat headrest. This compact stylish device will not name (base 1565 mm), and 50 cc certainly not betray. Will you and the mandatory registration, and obtaining a motorcycle category. But this is a particular national moto park.
On the road, the device behaves as it should be road cruiser: quiet, predictable and clearly not comfortable motorcycle. Injection engine has a typical brooding between the movement of the throttle and the response of the drive wheel. A sort of stately successfully compensated by excellent driving characteristics. Feathers front suspension with a diameter of 41 mm, it is sportbayk. Wheels, motor size, again: front - 14-inch, rear - 13. Tires are behaving perfectly on any surface, and in the rain too. In the stream of cars imperial ship glides to a qualitatively appreciable advantage, moving significantly faster than the entire stream. Settled down for the foreign car, even flashing lights do not need to go away, thinking that this sportbike. Sprawling in a comfortable chair, can be measured for a long time to go down the road, enjoying the noise of the oncoming air flow, aided by an unusually soft suspension and an unusually quiet liquid-cooled engine. And if you suddenly want to cheer, it is enough to move down the highway on a winding path, and add gas, allowing the motor to remind myself a muffled roar. In this case the device is good in the turns, forgiving driver even gross errors in the choice of trajectory, and allows you to truly enjoy the process of movement. Not bad for a 34-strong car accelerating dynamics when driving with a passenger is almost not affected, except that the talks on bends is stronger, because the mass of the second number is located above the driver. The maximum speed of the device - 125 km / h - almost always lacking. However, the traffic police still will not let go faster ...
Unlike its predecessor, the rigidity of the frame at the Majesty 400 has increased substantially. According to official information products, combined with the new construction of an aluminum alloy frame with integrated amplifiers of the steel at the bottom, torsion rigidity has increased by 86 percent, and longitudinal, respectively by 54 percent (compared to the Majesty YP250). The brakes are adequate caliber of the motor, and most importantly - the nature of the machine. Dosing of effort is very precise and logical. If desired, two-finger force-wheel skid is easy to break in, so the head must always control the hands, because ABS on this model is not installed. The device feels good not only on country roads, but in the crowded cars downtown. Amazing for such a long vehicle can maneuver gracefully sail past the four-frozen in a traffic jam tins and leave the intersection first, and the wheels can easily absorb almost any potholes in the pavement.
In the rain the need for a raincoat is small, a huge front fairing protects the good from the bad weather, simply blows away the moisture from heaven back regularly distributed oncoming air stream, leaving the driver's dry, why not tell the truth about the passenger (a bit too high sitting).
Majesty 400 - this is a great hybrid of the best qualities of a motorcycle and scooter. It has everything: a typical scooter excellent ergonomics and protection from the weather and wind, meticulous handling, powerful motor and stunning looks. Anyone who will test the Majesty 400, get real pleasure from communicating with his Majesty.
