WD600578@042 Gp Test Majest
Yamaha Majesty 400

[TINTED PRICE BOX OUT]
RRP: £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 it’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 ‘B’ lanes, its suspension struggled to cope quite as well as the Burgman, GP800 or Satelis. It just didn’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 they’ve tried to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible, which does help with slow speed handling; it’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 there’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)? It’s also got a lockable glovebox for keeping your mobile and a bit of change for tools at reach and there’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 won’t appeal to everybody but if you’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

WD600589@044 Gp Test Sateli
Peugeot Satelis RS 500

[TINTED PRICE BOX OUT]
RRP: £4699 (OTR including £800 discount)

[TEXT]
I was the first person in the country to ride the Satelis 500 at its’ UK launch a few years ago and I loved the scooter back then. Even now the scooter still looks as good as it did – better in fact thanks to this special RS version. Peugeot know how to build a good-looking scooter and this one is no exception. The obvious difference to the standard Satelis is the black paintwork with contrasting red trim, but it also comes with conventional brakes, as opposed to the ‘Executive’ model with ABS (a fact that helps to make the RS as sporty as it looks and save a few quid). With twin 260mm discs up front and a single 240mm disc at the rear, stopping is never going to be a problem; in fact the brakes are a little bit too sharp until you get used to them and it’s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger. Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and I’d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. They’re just so good looking and useable with their white fascias and crystal clear display that they put the lack lustre efforts of the other manufacturers to shame.
To help keep the Satelis as rigid on the road as possible Peugeot use 40mm forks up front and four position adjustable twin rear shocks. The shocks work with Peugeots Dual Swinging Linkage (DSL) engine mounting system to give great handling characteristics and it seems to work. The Piaggio derived engine is fuel injected and has plenty of power (38bhp) both from a standing start and in the mid range. It’ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra cc’s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didn’t seem to suffer quite as badly as the other three in the wind. Everything on the Satelis looks well put together and is finished perfectly. Perhaps

I was the first person in the country to ride the Satelis 500 at its’ UK launch a few years ago and I loved the scooter back then. Even now the scooter still looks as good as it did – better in fact thanks to this special RS version. Peugeot know how to build a good-looking scooter and this one is no exception. The obvious difference to the standard Satelis is the black paintwork with contrasting red trim, but it also comes with conventional brakes, as opposed to the ‘Executive’ model with ABS (a fact that helps to make the RS as sporty as it looks and save a few quid). With twin 260mm discs up front and a single 240mm disc at the rear, stopping is never going to be a problem; in fact the brakes are a little bit too sharp until you get used to them and it’s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger. Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and I’d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. They’re just so good looking and useable with their white fascias and crystal clear display that they put the lack lustre efforts of the other manufacturers to shame.
To help keep the Satelis as rigid on the road as possible Peugeot use 40mm forks up front and four position adjustable twin rear shocks. The shocks work with Peugeots Dual Swinging Linkage (DSL) engine mounting system to give great handling characteristics and it seems to work. The Piaggio derived engine is fuel injected and has plenty of power (38bhp) both from a standing start and in the mid range. It’ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra cc’s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didn’t seem to suffer quite as badly as the other three in the wind. Everything on the Satelis looks well put together and is finished perfectly. Perhaps
