"Matchless G50" (1962)
The 1962 Matchless G50 is an iconic British racing motorcycle that holds
a special place in the history of motorsport. Developed as a competitive
machine for the 500cc class, the G50 was powered by a 496cc
single-cylinder engine that produced approximately 52bhp. This
engine, coupled with the bike's lightweight frame, allowed the G50 to
reach speeds of up to 135mph, making it a formidable competitor on the
track. The G50 was known for its reliability, simplicity, and robust
construction, attributes that made it a favorite among privateer racers.
The bike followed classic British design, with a sleek fuel tank,
minimal bodywork, and a distinctive exhaust system that emphasized its
racing pedigree. Despite its modest displacement, the G50's performance
and handling made it a serious contender against larger, more powerful
machines. The Matchless G50 is now a cherished classic, celebrated for
its engineering excellence, racing heritage, and the role it played in
the golden era of motorcycle racing.
