A Modern-Day Majestic: ?The Six? by Revival Cycles



The Handbuilt Show is happening this coming weekend in Austin, Texas. One of the USA’s premium custom bike events, it’s packed each year with lustworthy handcrafted machines, curated by hosts Revival Cycles.
But even though this six-cylinder, hub-steered oddity is Revival’s handiwork?and will fit right in?it won’t be at the show this year. That’s because it’s just kicked off a one-year residency at the newly opened Haas Moto Museum at Dallas.

Museum owner and collector Bobby Haas has been on a mission lately. The museum is home to almost 110 vintage and custom motorcycles?some of them commissioned specifically for the collection. Rodsmith’s BSA Bantam was one such bike; this masterpiece is another. It’s also the second Revival bike Mr Haas has commissioned. The first was the groundbreaking BMW Landspeeder, an homage to the famous Henne BMW racer of the 1920s. The moment they delivered the Landspeeder, Mr Haas had a fresh idea to pitch to Alan Stulberg and crew.

?He wanted us to consider another bike as inspiration,? Alan tells us, ?the amazingly beautiful Art Deco motorcycle called ‘The Majestic.‘ In 1929 a Frenchman named Georges Roy launched his vision to the world, and offered a new motorcycle like no other on the road.?
?Team Revival has been somewhat obsessed with its design language and flow since seeing a Majestic in photos, and then first laying eyes on one at the Barber museum years ago.?
