Majesty 250, 1996.
Just got back from a fairly major trip, 1000 miles in 7 days, London (UK) to Newcastle, 300 miles non-stop other than refueling. I was a bit concerned before I left, I was sure the Maj was going to be hard work keeping up with the traffic flow on UK Motorways. Well, on the outward trip I had the motorway virtually to myself so I was able to get to grips with the higher end of the speed range and handling, my Maj seems to level out at around 75mph. Our Motorways do suffer from very high cross-winds and it was a bit of a handfull holding the Maj at times. The return journey was in very heavy traffic but the Maj held it's own and was faultless throughout the entire trip. Cruising speed can be 65-70 all day long. Keep the oil and water up to the marks. My only real complaint is that the size of fuel tank leaves you very unsure of reaching the next station so I took a spare canister of petrol. (not needed).
One tip, the Maj takes a full two litres (almost a half gallon) of fuel more on the centre stand than on the side stand.
