Also (and yes, I know they don't have abs on them) has anybody had/tried the 400 Majesty as well as the Burgman? How do they compare for performance, room etc? I am 6ft 4 so need plenty of room! Any advice or thoughts appreciated
Hi bigk!

Here's a great size reference website for the most popular bikes/scooters: http://cycle-ergo.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
There are modifications that can be done to some scoots that will give you more legroom.
I'm 6'7" and the Citycom is tallest Scoot I could find for my 37" legs. I'll admit I still hanker after more cc's - and I really like the 400 Burgman - but it's a short fat fecker in comparison. :lol:

Hi anonstarter

Isn't it strange that scooter with lees cc's should be the roomiest!
I will have a good look on the comparison site link. Thanks for that.
There is nothing worse than being uncomfortable (well, I guess hitting a deer-like creature is worse but you know what I mean!!

Happy hunting!
