2016 Yamaha Majesty S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Yamaha for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2016 Yamaha Majesty S features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.8 HP (8.6 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.6 Nm (8.6 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 94.4 HP per liter and a 500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Majesty S measures 148 kg (326 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.54 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.4-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
