- This Matchless G11 600cc machine was from the last year of production, before the G12 650cc machines were produced.Features run-past film, on-board film and a chat with the owner. Filmed in 2018.

When I was a U.S. high school teen, I recall seeing a 600cc Matchless Spring Twin in the showroom of the dealer. With it's soothing colors and the carefully painted trim inside the rims among the spokes, it was one of the most attractive machines I'd seen, that along with the Ariel Square Four.
G11. A lovely machine Sid. Probably better than when it left the production lone. Roy
A stopping problem rather than a starting problem... a change of pace for an older motorcycle. Well done as always! I live for these little videos and I hope there's a million more to come.
So pleased to hear from you again! We're planning to film a 1958 Triumph Thunderbird on July 13th so keep your fingers crossed for good weather... Should be finished by start of August.
Very nice Bike > I rode one in the Police in Rhodesia in the 70's Sweet, quick and Fast !
I have to agree, that is a really nice exhaust note. Great video overall.
Glad you like it! We had a few disasters while filming so quite a bit of film and sound was lost - aargh. Fortunately we recorded more than strictly needed, which saved the day...
Simon Hadden You know what they say, better have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I didn't get the impression there was footage missing at all, so I think you're in the clear haha
Thank you and Welcome back! I've been waiting for a new video.😀 I love the bikes, the owner's comments and the drives on the deserted country roads. Please keep them coming.
Thanks again for the comments! The next film will be out by the start of August, with perhaps two more before the end of the year.
Another great video!
Great bike and video 👍
Glad you enjoyed the film and many thanks for your comments!
Running smooth as a watch.

Will do! We'll probably do three more by the end of the year.

Lovely! I'm looking to buy a '57 G9, was it easy to get a single seat to fit it?
I’m not sure! I will ask the owner how he did it.
Where it would be the best place to buy an older bike like that? Obviously can't afford this calibre bike, but one day maybe.
Either through the small adverts in a classic motorcycle magazine, or from a classic motorcycle dealer. You could also look at a few websites for these, such as Andy Tiernan or Car and Classic.
These older bikes are becoming more affordable as their current owners age out, or fall off the perch, so to speak.
