Pictured is the Circa 1929 500 cc Majestic on display in the Haas Moto Museum and Sculpture Gallery in Dallas, Texas. It was created by Georges Roy and used a pressed-steel monocoque chassis rather than a tube frame. What differentiated the Majestic from earlier efforts was its totally enveloping bodywork swooping pressed steel panels with unbroken lines from its beak-like nose to the sporting abbreviated tail. The sweeping curves of the design make the Majestic a brilliant Art Deco sculpture, and was made possible by the use of automotive ‘coachbuilding’ practice – placing a bespoke body onto a standardized chassis – for the first time on a motorcycle.
