Majestic
Majestic was a name used on motorcycles produced from 1904 to 1907.

The Majestic name was also used on motorcycles listed by Ernie Humphries for 1933 only.
The machines were up-market models of the OK-Supreme, offered under another name, using equipment purchased from the recently sold AJS. They all had inclined Stevens engines, ohv, and were of 249cc, 348cc and 499cc with four-speed gearboxes. The outline of the machine was conventional but sleek. Nothing further came of the project.
