The Matchless G50 is a racing British motorcycle made by Associated Motorcycles (AMC) at the former Matchless works in Plumstead, London. Developed in 1958 from the 350cc AJS 7R, but with the engine capacity increased to 500 cc, 180 G50s (for 50 bhp) were built in the next four years. Although less powerful than its main competitor the Norton Manx the G50 proved highly competitive at three hundred pounds and was faster round bends. If success is measured by longevity then this is the most successful Matchless motorcycle, and high specification replicas are still being produced to this day, although financial problems at AMC ended production in 1963.〔 ==The G50 CSR== In 1963, the AMA decided that the G50 should not be allowed to race in the USA as it was not based on a production street bike. Matchless solved the problem by creating the street-legal G50 CSR, fitting the G50 engine into the G80CS Scrambler frame. The designation CSR stood for ''Competition, Sprung and Roadster'' but quickly got called the ''Coffee Shop racer''. It later became known as the ''Golden Eagle'' after the name was used in advertising (due to the gold finish of the engine casings). By the time the G50 was reinstated, however, it was no longer in production. There were just two colour options - bright blue with a tan seat or bright red and black with a black seat.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matchless G50」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
