Yamaha Majesty 1251) Environment-friendly performance at half the levels of Taiwan¡¯s Phase 4 emissions standards The MAJESTY 125FI achieves emission levels for CO, HC and NOx that are half or less than those specified in Taiwan¡¯s Phase 4 emissions standards set to go into effect in June of 2004. (The Phase 4 emissions standards are based on cold-start mode that is said to be difficult to deal with simply by exhaust treatment measures.) 2) 39 km/liter fuel economy (CNS mode) The adoption of fuel injection makes it possible to optimize injection pressure, volume and timing in accordance with engine rpm and running conditions and thus achieve 39 km/liter fuel economy (on CNS mode). (The existing model gets 36 km/liter.) 3) Excellent starting performance This model achieves outstanding starting performance at high elevations, at high and low temperatures and after the machine has been left unused for long periods. 4) High level of drivability (machine running performance) The optimal control of the air-fuel ratio made possible by the fuel injection system ensures excellent drivability, good acceleration, excellent performance stability at high elevations and steady idling performance.

Yamaha Majesty 125This means steady cruising performances at higher elevations that can reach 2,000 meters in Taiwan. Main Features from the Existing Model 1) Highly reliable liquid-cooled OHC single-cylinder engine and V-belt automatic transmission A liquid-cooled OHC, 124cc single-cylinder engine characterized by torque-y performance and quiet running is adopted. In combination with the V-belt automatic transmission it provides spirited running performance and good acceleration. 2) Generous-dimension chassis design for enjoyable cruising The body that give this model its excellent handling stability and riding comfort is built around a specially design frame that draws on technologies used in the 250cc Majesty model that is so popular in Japan and Europe. The combination of an optimum frame rigidity balance, the long wheelbase and wheels mounting12-inch tires front and rear give this model a truly stayble ride with very neutral handling. The aerodynamically designed cowling also adds to the riding comfort.

Hand/Foot Controls: The Yamaha 950 has a wide handlebar with beautifully crafted risers. The bar is solid with little to no vibes felt through the grips and gives me great leverage while cornering. The levers and switches are well placed for my medium size hands. The oval shaped mirrors are clear and provide amble rear view. The speedo is tank mounted so it’s a bit low to view with my flip-up helmet but the gauge is large with big numbers. It also provides all of the standard warning lights including low fuel, an electronic clock and odometer with 3 trip meters (2 distance meters and 1 fuel meter).

Driver floorboards come standard on the V-Star which I prefer and are forward mounted. The boards allow me to change foot positions for a more comfortable ride. The rubber covers are springy so the boards soak up the vibes well. I do feel some vibes at highway speeds but it’s in no way intrusive. An adjustable heel-toe shifter is also standard. It took some getting used to but now that I’ve ridin’ the bike for almost 900 miles, I couldn’t see riding without it. The brake pedal is large, automotive style which is another plus and the boards are large enough where the controls don’t get in the way.

Seat: The seat has a low profile, hugging the frame. It’s wide enough for us full figured gals and narrow enough where I can almost flat-foot it. It provides decent support overall however I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s an all day tripper.
Long Rides: The longest I’ve ridin’ the 950 is a 30 mile jaunt on mainly back roads through several scenic towns. The V-Star is smooth and responsive with a nice low rumble from the 2-in-1 exhaust. I’d recommend changing the seat and adding pullback risers. My bum started to feel numb by the time I reached home. The handlebar is at the perfect height for me but I’d prefer it closer. As it is, I’m leaning slightly forward to reach the hand controls with my arms nearly straight.

Highway Power/Zip: The 942cc air cooled engine is sweet. The surge of power I get with the twist of the throttle is addictive. It has plenty of power to spare while cruising at 70 mph when you have to pass. And the growl from the exhaust is music to my ears. As I said, I do feel some vibes the higher the speeds get but it’s not intrusive.
Tight Turns: Tight turns with short arms and a wide handlebar is challenging for me but manageable. With practice, I’ll soon master it.
Twisty Roads: The V-Star sweep into corners smoothly and readily. It is one of the lowest bikes around so taking the twisties can be fun or unnerving depending on your riding style. The boards scrape easily if you ride too aggressively but they do tilt up and have replaceable feelers so no expensive parts get damaged. I don’t ride aggressively in turns (straights are another matter ;) but I have scraped the boards a few times.


The sound they make isn’t pleasant but it’s a good reminder to slow down. The suspension is very good and soaks up the bumps quite well.
Wind/Rain/Heat: I have yet to ride in the rain. On windy days, the bike feels solid at 600+ pounds wet. Although it is air cooled, the heat felt from the engine is nominal with some occasional hot spots right at the back of my thighs. Thankfully, I can shift my feet on the spacious boards to alleviate that. The exhaust has well placed heat shields as well for summer stop and go traffic.
Braking Power: The stopping power of the 950 is fantastic. The brake lever does require a firm squeeze though as I use two fingers. The foot brake can lock up as I’ve done it once before in an emergency but it didn’t upset the bike at all and stayed straight.
What I Changed: I’ve had the bike lowered an inch which allows me to comfortably flat foot it. I bought 4” pullback risers but I need longer cables for them to work. Unfortunately, the aftermarket hasn’t caught up yet as longer cables is not readily available for the 950 but it’s not a deal breaker. I’m very happy with the bike.
