Yamaha believes that every journey, no matter how
routine, has the potential to become special. All
you need is a vehicle which will enrich your life
by revealing the sometimes hidden pleasures of travel.
The Majesty 400 is just such a vehicle. Designed,
engineered and built with one purpose in mind –
to deliver the ultimate two-wheeled combination of
luxury, style and effectiveness – Majesty 400
turns every commute or pleasure trip into a special
occasion.
Making life comfortable and easy is a key element
in the Majesty 400’s mission statement. To achieve
that goal, the designers of the 2009 model Majesty
400 have concentrated totally on refining the complete
package of scootering ‘must-haves’: handling
dynamics, performance, comfort, ergonomics, aerodynamics,
weather protection and rider response.
The story starts with fresh new ‘twin-eye’
bodywork that’s styled for action as well as
visual appeal. The streamlined bodywork, consisting
of new headlight and rear light assemblies, integrated
indicators and new front, side and rear cowlings,
combines fuel-saving aerodynamics with remarkable
weather protection. Hands in particular benefit from
better protection thanks to critical detail changes
that have been made to the bodywork shape. Ergonomics
in general have been optimised for a totally relaxed
and yet totally connected riding position.
The 2009 Majesty 400 is densely packed with clever
design features. Its luxurious seat combines a very
effective back support pad for the rider with a comfortably
low 760mm seat height and the ability to store two
helmets in the space underneath. There’s a lockable
glovebox ahead of the rider’s knees and, for
extra peace of mind, a parking brake and automatic
engine immobilisation when the ignition key is removed.
New switchgear and a high-specification instrumentation
panel featuring a speedometer and rev counter rounds
off the top quality style and feel that Majesty owners
know and appreciate.
Alongside maximum style and comfort, the Majesty
400 will charm any rider with its great mix of performance
and handling. Its dynamic heart is a lightweight,
all-aluminum engine. Mounted low down in a highly
rigid and responsive diecast aluminum/steel chassis,
Yamaha’s four-stroke 395cc unit is a major contributor
to the scooter’s exceptional handling. The effortless
ease with which the Majesty deals with the crucial
zero-to-50kph sprint makes it a powerful and secure
friend in the city. The automatic transmission has
been fitted with a modified clutch for reduced mechanical
wear and smoother, more comfortable power transitions
in stop-start city traffic. Out on the open road,
41mm front forks with 120mm stroke and twin adjustable
rear shocks deliver excellent steering response and
high-speed stability. A 14-litre fuel capacity means
great point-to-point range for both scooter and rider.
Important changes to the braking system deliver not
just greater stopping power but also a better feel
for the rider. Majesty’s double 267m disc brakes
on the front wheel are now powered by a new master
cylinder and controlled by TMAX-style adjustable brake
levers. Available in certain countries is a Majesty
400 ABS model which uses Yamaha’s advanced anti-lock
technology to help maintain grip when braking in slippery
conditions.
Since its launch, Majesty 400 has been one of Europe’s
most popular middleweight scooters, and with good
reason: it has always been a benchmark in protection,
practicality and performance. 2009’s compellingly
redesigned model takes this standard-setting foundation
and builds on it, confirming Majesty 400 as the primary
choice for riders seeking the ultimate in design,
comfort and class.
