 It had been years since the wife had her own bike and she decided she wanted to get back in the saddle. I had gotten her a nice used BMW 650. She just never felt confident on it and I think a lot of it had to do with using the clutch. We took a trip to Paris and she became interested in the scooters that were so prevelent there. When we came home, she started looking in to scooters. It just so happened that a local dealer had a used Yamaha Majesty 400 and she fell in love with it. So I sold the BMW and bought the Majesty. We've had it for 4 years now and she still loves it! I have to admit that it gives me an ear to ear grin when I ride it on occaision too. I keep telling her that I'm going to get a ticket on that thing before my C-14! From a stop, it just pulls forever with no shifting. I've had it over 85 and it was still stable at speed. The storage space on these things is amazing! A maxi scooter is viable fun economical transportation good enough to tour on. Don't believe the guys with manhood issues. I'm 6'2 and 235 lbs. and I have no such issues, I like our scooter.

Yes sir, I enjoy a bigger CC scooter ride occasionally too, they are a blast to whip around.  The handling reminds me of a super-motard, if i had one of these scoots I'd take it to the track too  :D

Word and ditto.......but I can see why it is ideal for some.

Most of the time I wonder why.  But remember scooters have two wheels.  And anything with two wheels is GOOD. ;)
