Name that Matchless Motorcycle


DSC04437, originally uploaded by evanfell.

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?

    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 closer to an older model Royal Enfield.

    Well, I have not a clue as to what it is. One thing is sure, I wouldn’t mind having one like it.

    Wait a minute. I think it is an old JAWA.

    I had one like that in 1965. Mine was a 1958 Matchless 350. paid £40, in that sort of condition.
    That one looks like a 500 and a little later.
    It’s been a long time!!!!
