- Year Manufactured2007
- Build quality
Very stylish, good highway cruising power, very smooth, seems bulletproof.
Bad Points
Mirrors could be spaced wider. Seat is a little narrow after a long ride, otherwise pretty comfortable. Would like sounders on the turn indicators as the dash lights are hard to see in bright sunlight.
General Comments
I've had cycles for 40 years or more and travelled extensively. I developed a spinal condition (not related to riding) that made it very painful to get on a motorcycle--so I thought I was done riding (after over 250k miles.) I began to realize that the superscooters might be the answer to getting on an off and not having to use my feet to shift and brake. ..which also became painful. I started looking at what was available and ended up with the Majesty as a nice compromise between city and highway driving. I might not take on any more 500 plus mile days, but a couple hundred is an easy, relaxing jaunt on the super scoot. It has started and run flawlessly from the get-go. Some of my old riding buddies acted indignant at first--but have warmed up to the scooter after being around it a little bit. I usually have to wait for them at the end of a run rather than the other way around... which quieted them very quickly. I'm really pleased to get back in the saddle and am having a very good time riding some of the old roads again. I also have new respect for riders that aren't the traditional wind-in-the face hardcores...life is too short not to find a bike you like and go for a ride!

I enjoyed your encouraging "review". I was also close to losing hope, after I became crippled by messed up surgery. I was even checking out "mobility" 4 wheel scooters to get around. But then refused to accept this.
Four years later and after more surgery I went back to my "second youth" (I used to ride bikes in my younger years) and got my Majesty. Thank God! I went for a check-up to the specialist, last month, coming in on my Majesty. The Doctor could not believe his eyes and said to me: "I saw you coming in and I AM IMPRESSED." I smiled and replied: "So am I."
I agree with your saying: * "I also have new respect for riders that aren't the traditional wind-in-the face hardcores...life is too short not to find a bike you like and go for a ride!".
