Both very good points, well and succinctly made.

No ABS, so I guess it'll remain forgotten.

A little practice and you can even stop/start for several seconds without putting a foot down.
Have to agree with this when I first had my Burgman 650 I hated turning around in the road or at small roundabouts, especially with Sandy on the back. But as said just drag the back brake to control the speed and keep the throttle at a constant setting. takes a bit of getting used to but find it quite easy now :D

Judging by the Yamaha website it looks like the Majesty is no more.

I have a theory test pass..... ready to do test when i figure out what i am doing.

Last time i let the theory test run out after doing my mod 1 lol hope i don't make that mistake again, that was back in 2007.

I am thinking due to funds, do test on my X8 and then get 125 license only £95, that then gets rid of the l plates and rid of the need to redone theory or cbt. then work towards license upgrade ? sound good ?
