A fact often overlooked when considering the marque, Matchless started making twin cylinder motorcycles around 1910, and were to go on produce several configurations over the following 50 years, but by the 1960s the parallel twin was the well established.
Developed from the 600cc G11 the 646cc G12 was the largest capacity machine on offer and with genuine 100mph performance it became popular with the American market, but sadly they are sometimes overlooked by today's 'classic' motorcyclists.
The G12 on offer today is described as a very tidy example and is certainly a viable alternative some of the other touring twins which are becoming increasingly popular in classic circles.
