This lovely was imported new into Australia from the UK in 1981 or 82.
At the time there was a story in ADB Magazine about it.
If you know about this bike, please add to the story

That's Majestic, can't help with any more details, but that's one of the best pics I've ever seen of these beauties.
That alloy muffler is impressive, Nigel Birkett?

Muffler looks like 1991 GasGas Delta or a 97 Contact

George Lewis,from memory had a Majesty in the early eighties?

[Rod]

Only found out a little bit about this Majesty 320 today from its current owner, didn't know it was in his vast collection of rare and desirable Trials machines. He bought it in good condition from a current SE Qld Elder Statesman who had imported it new in the early '80's.
That silencer is by John Shirt himself and is steel and was originally black, apparently the front of the exhaust was originally TY 250 TwinShock but Elder Statesman grafted a TY Mono exhaust onto it, hence the way it curls over the engine. Godden frame.
All very nice, wish it was in my garage.

Yes the person who bought it new from Majesty man John Shirt in the UK was George Lewis.
The next owner rode it in a Twinshock Class in a Title event which I think was an Aussies a long while ago, maybe early 1990s. He told me that first place in Twinshock was a ride-off between himself and Kale Reed with Kale on the 240 Fantic

I see it came with Gas Girlings which were the hot ticket at the time.
That's an interesting front sprocket cover on there too.
Rod is there an ADB photo showing the other side?

Here's my 200, about as original as they come even down to the original John Shirt fork stickers.
The frame would of been built in East Malling, Kent UK by Don Godden that was about 5 miles from where I grew up, it took it another 40 years to find me in Aus.
