The AJS 16 MS was produced by Associated Motorcycles at the former Matchless works in Plumstead London. The company produced a near identical motorcycle under the Matchless name, the Matchless G3L.

The bike was powered by a single cylinder 348cc OHV engine producing 16bhp @ 5,600 rpm, developed in 1945 from the proven military Matchless G3/L used extensively in World War 11. The only difference between the two were that the Matchless carried the magneto at the rear of the cylinder barrel, whereas the  AJS magneto was at the front. Neither AJS or Matchless opted for plunger type rear suspension, going in favour for rigid suspension. 

We are very pleased to offer this comprehensively  restored AJS Model 16MS in competition / road trim, with a detachable trials sidecar.

Showing only four previous owners recorded, this combination is ideal for MCC Trials such as Lands End Trial, or just fun.

With a V5c present, the bike is registered as a  Historic Vehicle.
