Name that Matchless Motorcycle
Posted on | February 16, 2009 | 3 Comments
I spotted this beauty outside a deli in the San Fernando Valley recently and luckily I had my camera with me. What a gorgeous bike.
Is this a GS5 or 85? My Matchless knowledge is limited and I don’t have a keen enough eye to tell. Anybody?

Quick Intro
I have owned nearly every make and model of vintage Japanese motorcycle as well as a number of other Europeans and more modern bikes. I do everything from simple fixes to full restorations. I also travel and ride every chance I get.

did you ever find out what it was? Looks like an old honda cb 350 or so. Maybe late 60s or early 70s. Maybe even a cafe racer. I’m looking for a beat up 550 to convert to a cafe racer. They are absolutely beautiful bikes.

It looks just like my 1961 G80CS …500 single

It looks closer to an older model Royal Enfield.
