AJS Model 16MS
What is your favourite motorcycle of all time?
The basis of the AJS Model 16 MS was a long-stroke single overhead valve engine of 1935, the same as used in the wartime Matchless GL3. The orthodox but very tough push rod engine featured dry sump lubrication with an external oil tank. Flywheels were cast iron but were lightened for 1954. An all-alloy version of the engine appeared for competition models in 1950 with an alloy head for roadsters following in 1951. Further improvements to the model were made and despite the presence of the AMC "lightweight" single by 1960, sales of the old G3/Model 16 had actually increased by 1961 giving evidence of the loyalty to the long stroke formula.
