Brief History of the Marque: Majestic
Majestic appears in 1929, resulting from the inventive brain of George
Roy. But George is not with his first attempt. He already produced his
own motor bike in 1923, New Motorcycle. The bad figures of sale of the
latter and the increase in the number of cars push it to design a motor
bike with an automobile spirit. Majestic is the result of this project.
The frame is composed of two members. The engine and the frame are hidden
under a sheet body. The transmission is not made tree. The direction uses
a central hub articulated by a kneecap, the sliding whole being gone up.
In 1930, George Roy makes an agreement with the Establishments Delachanal,
producer of Dollar, for the manufacture of Majestic. Perhaps too advanced
for its time, this manufacture will end in 1933, two years after the repurchase
of Dollar per Metallurgical and Industrial Omnium,
owner of Chaise. There were only 100 units built.
(Translated, rather poorly, from the Wikipedia
entry at

)
Built between 1928 and 1933, Majestic motorcycles were produced
in limited numbers and were fitted with Chaise
singles, JAP V-twins, and Cleveland and Chaise
four-cylinder engines.
