In the Nov./Dec. 2004 issue of Cycle Canada there is a very good write up on the Burgman 400 compared to the Yamaha Majesty . I just got mine in the mail on friday .
Couple of the conclusions were :
1. " Although the Yamaha engine is slightly bigger and a twin cam design , the Majesty feels sluggish moving from a stop , and the Burgman leaves it behind - until cruising speed is reached . At 110 km/h , the Yamaha seems relaxed , its engine spinning about 1,000 rpm slower than the Suzuki's , which turns at an indicated 6,000 rpm . At that speed roll-ons are consistently in the Yamaha's favour , as is top speed , which is an indicated 150 km/h , 10 km/h more than the Burgman . Both machines can maintain highway cruising speeds effortlessly , though passing power is marginal , especially on the Burgman . "
2. " In urban stop-and-go we'd give the nod to peppier Burgman , but the more serene Majesty works better over longer highway trips ."
Hope you get to read the whole article and have some feed back on what the test riders had to say .
