The Winter, 2005 issue of Scoot! magazine has an article "Tuning Your Automatic Scooter" which features the Majesty 400 as the test subject.
The article discusses the effect on performance of changing the variator and/or roller weights, and reports the quarter mile and 0-60 mph times before and after switching from the stock 15g roller weights to 10g weights.
Before (stock):
1/4 mile - 17.03 sec @ 69 mph [110 km/h]
0-60 mph - 9.74 sec
After (modified):
1/4 mile - 16.01 sec @ 79 mph [126 km/h]
0-60 mph - 7.37 sec
The author says "All of our numbers were downloaded from a GPS calibrated Data logger. The runs were made in the same direction and on the same straight track minutes apart. The best run of three was used for each example."
I would be cautious about taking the "before" data as indicting absolute results, since the accuracy of the measurement device is unknown. The test results are best viewed as showing relative differences between a stock and a modified Maj.
