Majestic Bernadet: a motorcycle inspired by the Art Deco movement

Majestic Bernadette

The Majestic is a meticulously restored 1930 motorcycle. The work was undertaken by Serge Bueno, whose family has owned this motorcycle since its inception. Abandoned, he was waiting in the garage for someone to remember him and put him in order. The result is an impressive, beautiful and unusual motorcycle in the art deco design style.

Connoisseurs of the history of motorcycles are convinced that there are only around 10 Majestic motorcycles, and the one presented in the article is certainly the most beautiful and elaborate of them all. He designed Majestic in the 1930s George Roy, who didn't like the shapes of the motorcycles, which he thought were too stretched out and disproportionate. Instead, you preferred to imagine metallic, cigar-like frame, under which the engine and powertrain would be covered. Majestic was first introduced at Paris Motor Show in 1929, where he was also in the center of attention. The following year, sales began, which, contrary to the company's expectations, were not successful. The company that made the Majestic has closed its doors in 1933.

The family Serge Bueno she saved Majestic for 30 years, until they finally decided to restore it. She started debt and the painful path of reconstruction, where the greatest challenge was the restoration of the rusted casing. Spare parts were no longer available for a long time, and they only had old photos for reference. The effort and hard work paid off and the bike is now exactly as it was when it left the production line. Offers additional space for a passenger in a handsome "trailer" contributed by the French specialist engine company Bernadet.
