Absolutely Beautiful Completely Restored 1959 Matchless G12 CS
Freshly removed from The Throttlestop Museum, we are proud to offer this incredible 1959 Matchless G12 CS. Matchless dates back to 1899 making it one oldest British Motorcycle marques and probably best known for their economical road going motorcycles. While it was not their main focus, Matchless had a long history of racing success, winning the first single cylinder race at the Isle of Man in 1907.
The Matchless G12 produced from 1958 to 1966 to specifically capture the US market, it failed to gain the recognition like its other European counterparts. The Matchless G12 CS was an off road version of the G12 with improved ground clearance, upswept siamese exhaust and an increased compression ratio. The 646cc twin was known for being extremely torquey and reliable. The CS was not a full bore trials bikes but better known as a Desert Racer.
This example is stunning from top to bottom. Completely restored to the highest of quality, there was no stone left unturned in this build. Only covering 2 miles since it's completion, we have given this Matchless our full tune up and stamp of approval. This G12 CS is ready to be enjoyed. These hard to find Matchless G12 CS's are an appreciating classic and perfect for any collector or enthusiast!
