Save the Matchless motorcycle company

Thats a G50 overhead cam race engine. They are made by several companies for replica classic racing. No way would you be able to make them economically for a road bike they are made from Magnesium with forged rod and piston.
Dang, I knew that was the G50, not G80. There was a homologation-required road going model, the G50 CSR.

51 hp on less than 500cc is something else, especially in a light frame. However, they likely lost money on every one sold. Perhaps a less expensive OHC motor in both single and twin format could be had?
