The Matchless G50 is one of the classic British racing motorcycles, and comes from the single-cylinder era. The carburetor fed 50hp G50 has defining touches like its magneto ignition and a handmade clutch. Standard bike produces only 50bhp at the back wheel. It is a vastly different sort of power to a modern bike. It has the big, 2-valves Single lunges out of corners riding on a tidal wave of torque and acceleration theres barely time to tap in the next gear before the 7200rpm limit has been reached.
