Matchless Owners Club Certificate of Authenticity
The Matchless G80CS was one of the most dominant scrambles and off-road racing motorcycles of the 1950s and early 1960s. Before the arrival of the soon-to be-dominant Husqvarnas and other lightweight
two strokes in the 1960s, it was the heavier British four strokes that dominated the world of off-road racing in the United States, Europe, and further afield in places like Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand.
The secret to the success of the Matchless G80CS largely came down to its combination of a good frame and an excellent high-torque single cylinder engine that could handle the exceedingly rough life of the Californian desert racing scene and come back for more.
Collectors and enthusiasts have remained enamoured with the Matchless G80CS for decades since it left production in 1966. The punchy single cylinder with its high torque output combined with the model’s good handling and relatively low weight has appealed to generations of riders, and thanks to the relatively affordable cost the G80CS is very approachable.
