Suzuki Burgman 400 Z / Yamaha Majesty 400: rififi among commuters !

Same displacement, same power, same weight and same color: how do you decide between the Suzuki Burgman 400 Z and Yamaha Majesty 400 scooters? Site put them through the hell of city traffic and the ordeal of the road… Comparative test.

The flower of commuters

If the Honda Spazio 250 was undoubtedly the first of the maxi scooters, its only mistake was to be fifteen years ahead of its time: the market was not ready … From 1999, that is to say two years before the Yamaha Tmax , it is therefore the Suzuki Burgman 400 which is at the origin of the rise of this new breed of motorized two-wheelers.

… and the little youngster who doesn’t want it !

Arrived in 2004, the Majesty 400 is far from having known the same success as the Burgman: in the shadow of the famous 500 Tmax, the "small" 400 has never succeeded in imposing its own personality in the Yamaha range. The manufacturer with three tuning forks has therefore completely revised its copy in 2009 to offer a brand new scooter: sexier, it also wants to be more efficient and more efficient than the old model..
