February 16, 200620 yr Hi, I am looking for informations about a Yamaha trial bike. The engine is a TY175 and the frame looks like a mini majesty converted to monoshock. Are you aware of such bikes ? Regards Edited February 20, 200620 yr by grouchoF
February 16, 200620 yr Could you post some pictures? That sounds really neat. What are your intentions with it? Are you going to restore it ? - JackMan
February 17, 200620 yr The bike you're referring to "might" be the RAM.If I remember rightly it looked more like the Whitehawk than a Majesty. There were never that many about, maybe they were pricey at the time so could be a collectors item. The only 2 I can recall were ridden by Karl Duffy from the Rochadale area and Dean Kenniford from South Wales and were competing at National Schoolboy level. Sorry I don't know much more about RAM but thought I saw a brochure once on e-bay? Edited February 17, 200620 yr by Hughesy
February 17, 200620 yr Is the single shock frame a cantilever type with a fibre glass tank.....if so, it could be a Chapman BSA........which used DT175 engines.
February 20, 200620 yr Author Hi, Thanks for the info. I will try to take picture from the bike. I am quite shure that the base in a Majesty frame : even with no numbers on the frame, it is realy close to a Majesty. It cannot be a Whitawk, because there is no square tube and the welding are not beautiful. The rear system is monoshock, but not like the TYmono 250 : the shock is direct on the swingarm. Regards
February 21, 200620 yr Author Hi, Here are some pictures. The frame looks Majesty : But it is monoshock : Regards
February 21, 200620 yr Wow, I bet it will clean up nicely! I can't really give much help on your model, but check out my '78 ty175 for a couple ideas maybe:) Hope it can help, I have many more pictures if you need them (the whole process was covered). But I really can't give any info on the monoshock ty. Good Luck
February 21, 200620 yr Hard to tell from the pictures but looks like a Godden Majesty that someone has converted. There weren't any Majesties that were mono as standard
February 22, 200620 yr Author Hi, The red tank fitted on the frame is a Majesty fiberglass tank. The front part of the frame looks like a Godden Majesty 125/200 frame. But I would like to have more info about the "RAM". BTW, what RAM stands for ? Regards Edited February 22, 200620 yr by grouchoF
