Yamaha Majesty 250

I first saw this bike on Top Gear, and thought it was a nice idea. Having passed my test, I looked around and found a second-hand one, with just 4000 miles on the clock. Used it for my daily commute to places like Cardiff and Cirencester. Although it could do 85mph, most of the time I travelled along at 70. In the winter I stilled used the train or occasionally the car to get around.

The best features of the Majesty are the weather protection and under seat storage. My laptop would fit easily in within a padded case.

Towards the end I started to do some of the maintenance myself, including changing the drive belt.
