i got a little confused reading your post, paul.
so, is it an 07
majesty you got?
if so, my story is kind of similar, but took place a year ago.
i had a sportcity 250 and wanted to move up to a maj. i checked every dealer within about a 75 mile radius - there were several - and not a single one had a new maj in stock. every one of them had at least one t-max in stock and tried to sell me on one of those, but i didn't want to go that direction.
so i started looking at craigs list and found no joy.
checked out cycle trader's on-line listings an found an 07 with 625 miles on it at one of the dealers that i had already called. drove out (75 miles) and got it on the spot. (the strongest selling point was it was in the faster Team Yamaha Blue color

)
you'll like the maj. i've had a ball with mine.
