AJS 16MC

AJS 16MC AJS based its evergreen 16 350 cc single on a WW2 Matchless military motorcycle. When motorcycle trials gained popularity, the reliable and economical AJS proved ideal. The 16MC (‘C’ for competition) was tweaked by AJS to suit the sport: it was given a welded duplex tubular frame, and a raised exhaust and footrests to improve ground clearance. Hugh Viney, one of the sporting stars of the day, set a record by riding the 16MC to victory in the Scottish Six Days Trial three years in a row, from 1947 to 1949.

    To me it is about the engine. The bike is so stripped down there is not much else to admire. Good thing the engine resounds with character.

    There is beauty in simplicity. The frame design is killer…glad It’s not cluttered up with none-sense.
