April 25, 20215 yr I have what I believe is a Majesty frame but wondered if anyone could verify the format to confirm what it is. The number is 81 11 01 B. The frame appears to have originally been painted yellow. I am assuming it’s a Godden version. Any help appreciated
April 25, 20215 yr Yes looks like Godden numbering 81 = 1981 11 = November 01 B = no idea. Mine has three numbers next (106) As for knowing if it's a 250/320 Godden frame or not, the Godden frame is very different in design to the Yamaha-based 250/320 Majesty frame Yamaha frame numbering is very different too. For the Yam framed Majestys, they used D and E model frames with numbering 493 - xxxxxxx Edited April 25, 20215 yr by feetupfun

April 26, 20215 yr Author Thank you for confirming that the format is as per Majesty. Yes I had kind of guessed that it was probably a Nov '81 bike. The 'B' suggesting it is a mini Majesty adds up as well as the frame rails are straight and its a bugger getting an engine into such a small space.

Straight downtubes = Mini Majesty, together with the B classification
