spawtydawg Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hi folks, title says it all really. I don't know if this subject's been covered before but I was wondering If any one has got a preference for either and if so why? Are they much the same or is one any better than the other? The Whitehawk doesn't seem to be as popular as the Majesty, is this just because there wasn't as many made? Thanks for any comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 If you are asking about present-day popularity then yes, probably the small number of Whitehawks made is why there are not many seen nowadays. I think the reason why there were much fewer Whitehawks made is because there were no Whitehawks made for the 250 motor. If you look at the relative popularity of the smaller Majestys to the 250/320 Majesty back in the day, the 250/320 seems to have been way more popular than the 175 Majesty and 175 Mini Majesty. I think that this would have meant that Whitehawks, which were only made for the TY175 and TY80 motors, would not have been a popular choice for adults. As for one being better than the other, Whitehawk frames have a visual advantage, having nicely brazed joints, compared with the MIG welded Godden Majesty and the Yamaha-based frames. Then again, the three Majesty designs that use the TY175 motor all have longer rear wheel travel than the two Whitehawk designs that fit the TY175 motor.

jon v8 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 You dont need a Whitehawk or a Maj the way you were riding on sunday ! Finishing on a single dab like that... I think a few Golden Valley feathers will be ruffled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I prefer the Whitehawk over the Maj unless we're talking about the singer !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
