These 500cc, 86mm bore, "short stroke" scramblers were produced from 1956 through 1967, the final bike, engine # 5572, being produced in June, 1967. This was near the end, when Associated Motor Cycles was in serious financial trouble and on the brink of collapse. Built as "dual sport" bikes, they were competitive in their early days as desert racers and enduro machines, but by 1967 they were past their prime. Like many of the other AMC machines brought into North America, these bikes could get you to work or school during the week and were often used in some form of dirt riding or competition on the weekend. The AJS equivalent was the model 18CS. This 1967 G80CS is an unrestored original, correct in every detail.
