WD600578@042 Gp Test Majest
Yamaha Majesty 400

[TINTED PRICE BOX OUT]
RRP: Â£5899 (plus OTR)

[TEXT]
The Majesty 400 looks quite similar to the Burgman, but (in my opinion) the styling is a bit more up to date so itâ€™ll appeal to a broader spectrum of riders. I quite enjoyed riding this one, although as we got closer to the coast and the roads turned into bumpy â€˜Bâ€™ lanes, its suspension struggled to cope quite as well as the Burgman, GP800 or Satelis. It just didnâ€™t feel quite as well damped. At the time, myself and Stef were putting the scooters through some rigorous testing though on very dodgy roads!
Yamaha have built the Majesty with a die-cast alloy chassis and theyâ€™ve tried to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible, which does help with slow speed handling; itâ€™s also pretty stable as you get to the top end. Acceleration is brisk on the Majesty, (slightly faster than the Suzuki at any rate) and when it gets going the 33.5bhp 395cc fuel injected engine seems to have plenty of mid-range grunt, which is always useful for overtaking. The bike was almost new with just 633 miles on the clock, so thereâ€™s still a chance it could loosen up a bit more and nudge that top speed into three figures.
The Yamaha scores well on practicalities; it has bags of room under the seat (or should that be room for bags under the seat)? Itâ€™s also got a lockable glovebox for keeping your mobile and a bit of change for tools at reach and thereâ€™s plenty of weather protection from that large front fairing and screen. I found the seating position to be comfortable with enough room to stretch my legs a bit if need be and the riders backrest helped to cushion my back, the pillion seat looked quite plush too.
Like any scooter, the Yamaha Majesty wonâ€™t appeal to everybody but if youâ€™re looking for something relatively quick which can quite easily take the place of a city car and do a much more convenient and faster job of getting you to work, as well as being more than capable of touring, then the Majesty is wor

Jarno Saarinen chases down fellow Yamaha rider Phil Read in a 250cc race at Silverstone on 13 August 1972. Saarinen went on to win that year's 250 world title, while Sheene struggled with reliability problems. Sadly, the Finnish ace was killed at the 1973 250cc Monza GP in a multi-bike crash which also claimed the life of Italian champion Renzo Pasolini.

Haslam and Honda reigned supreme in British F1 racing in 1979. So Suzuki sprung their secret weapon - Sheene on the Dunstall GS1000. It came within inches of working too. That was Haslam's winning margin in their one and only F1 encounter, which was fought out at Oulton Park. Barry put in four practice laps on another F1 Suzuki at Oulton in 1983 but didn't race it and was never that keen on four strokes.

In the same issue there is a photograph of a shop window full of helmets which span the range of what was on offer at this time. In the centre is what we would still recognise as a standard "open face" type extending down over the ears. This was a relatively new idea to motorcycling/scootering having originated with fighter pilots, reaching Formula 1 around 1959 and the general public about two years later. To the left can be seen its predecessor, the "Piss Pot" and underneath the standard white "Everoak" beloved of so many regular scooterists. The Everoak (and similarly-styled helmets from other makers) was especially despised by the Mods and it comes as a bit of a culture shock today to see a scooter resplendent with lights and mirrors being ridden by someone wearing such a thing.
Still, in 1963, such considerations were years away - Mods not generally wearing helmets in any case. Mod fashion in a motor cycle magazine? It never happened again!

1965 â€“ THE ALTERNATIVE VIEW
Scooters and Swinging Britain as seen through the eyes of Motor Cycle magazine

Alternative to what exactly? Well, you may be under the impression that 1965 was a seminal year of pep pill fuelled power pop featuring defining moments in music, fashion and film. But to those over thirty it mattered not a jot that Bob Dylan had gone electric. In this time of far less media saturation than today, it was much easier to create your own reality by restricting your reading matter to publications that confirmed your view of the world and ignoring everything else.
Motor Cycle was one such publication that gave a reassuring impression that nothing had really changed in the last ten years or so. Scooterists were still considered to be a bit daft and it was reported with some glee that Lambrettas running-in instructions included the immortal instruction: â€œIn winter, let the engine idle for some minutes in order to warm up before startingâ€!
The Isle of Man Scooter Week took place as usual with a couple from Sweden winning the Loving Cup on their SS180. Incidentally, the attendance of 411 scooters was reported as being a record for this event, which rather suggests that some earlier events must have been rather small affairs. As always, any British scooter launch was eagerly reported upon, so the new Triumph T10 was given a fair amount of space and such a machine was won by Heather Desert in the â€˜National Personality Girlâ€™ contest. Unfortunately, the T10 was to be the last serious British attempt at a mass produced scooter.
â€˜Publicity runsâ€™ were still in evidence and a couple of Britons (Bob Forrest Webb and Ian Speller), had carried out a Croydon backed non-stop journey from London to Milan on a GT200. On reaching Milan they posed dressed up as city gents. Other than the scooter itself, the whole episode has more of a feel of 1958 about it rather than 1965.
