Tom, my friend Scooter Jim from Tulsa owns several motorcycles but mostly rides his 400 Majesty. He travels all over the country on that scooter, towing a trailer...and he does not ride slowly. I have chased him on various bikes and I can testify to that scooter's ability to RUN. Jim can't understand why EVERYone doesn't have a 400 Majesty. He puts tires on it every so often and just piles on the miles... I wish you the same kind of enjoyment with yours!
