Yeah, I guess the extra cc´s do make a difference, although I haven´t ridden the Majesty yet to see the difference. However, I was quite impressed with the get-up-and-go the Aprilla offered. Yes, the tires are a bit larger as well.... 15" fronts/14" rear. I also liked the dual front discs too. Now all I have to do is sell my Harley FLHS so I can buy it!! :-) (never thought the day would come!)
