i have a kymco people 250.. and like it just fine.. it does exactly what i need.. speed, braking, wind protection, Reliability, on and on...

BUT i have been looking at the oversea offering... and totally lusting after the models the aussies and europe have, has...

but one stands out... the black max... though i want light silver for better visablity or candy red.. but goes agianst the marketing of yamaha...


check it out on the links above and check out the yamaha web ad.. amazing..

www.yamaha-motor.jp/mc/majesty/showroom/index.html

that one is for the majesty premium... makes you want to get one right away..

problem is when will yamaha send this over to the states?

i know i will for sure order one if they do.. or the X city 250 too.. man !!!! just gotta have one of each... he he he..

actually.. i will use my kymco people for 2 years or so.. and look for a 500 then.. but dreaming about the 500 or sport premium till then..

Europe and Eurasia always get the good stuff. They even have bikes that I can fit. Seems everything in the US has to have a 31.5 inch seat or more which looses an entire market of short seamed riders.

You are not the only one with short leg syndrome. Luckily the majesty allow me to be flat footed. the night hawk 450 I had, was a tippy toe bike. It was top heavy to.

Those are really nice scoots, they put a lot of curve into them that's for sure.

The morphous is ok bu the majesty still gives me trouble. I would have to cut the seat in order to be fully comfortable. The Bergman 400 is ok, but the 600 also gives me problems.

Doesn't make any sense in a country full of Harleys with seats under 27 inches.

I got $20 says Jacine has the highest karma of anyone here.

Jacine,
The reason for that is so the dealers can make a mint selling and installing lowering kits and companies like Corbin can sell $800 custom cut seats...... Harley dealers would go broke if they couldn't sell accessories. Stan

I was looking at an FJR1300AE. Even with the seat off I couldn't even touch the floor. Sigh....
It would need to be lowered 4" at a cost of $1500.00 and the bike would probably be unsafe.

After much deliberation, I've come to this one profound scientific conclusion:

It's probably easier and more cost effective to get your legs
surgically lengthened.

I hear ya, Phamster. After seeing the Gilera Nexus 500, I've been lusting overseas as well. Those Yamaha scoots look wonderful! Maybe we could all just go to the Yammy dealers and whine pathetically about how much we want the X-City 250...I'll whine the loudest of us all!!!

Oh yeah, Here's one more karma for Jacine...

[phamster]

Jacine...
