Orion Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Dear Reader, Is there any specialist on motorcycles that can lead the way in identifying the motor cycle on this picture. If possible brand name and characteristics like type and engine type. Time frame from the picture is 1964. Any help is appreciated. Highest Regards, Orion/ The Netherlands.

the South African Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 If I was to hazard a guess I would say by what little could be made out of the logo tgat it is a BSA 500 cc HtH Regards: Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamwalker Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 AJS model 16 about 1964, 500cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocatlub Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I would agree that it is an AMC single 500cc from the early 60's badged as AJS or Matchless and pre-unit construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hello contributors, Graham walker is the winner. It is the AJS model 16. I had his answer confirmed by the Director of the British Motorcycle Museum. The corporal in the picture is a police officer from the MP Company Royal Netherlands Marine Corps. Thank you all. Regards, orion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
