After years of success with the G80, Matchless offered a “Competition Suspension” variant called the G80CS to answer demands for more power, aimed towards US riders who were looking for a desert racer. But for three years (’59-’61), Matchless released an even better version – the Matchless G80TCS Typhoon. Just 125 were built, and most were exported to the US.
The Typhoon was offered as a competition model without lights, and also a street version as shown here. Compared to the G80CS, the Typhoon had a larger bore and stroke, which bumped up displacement on the single cylinder to 600cc.
This specific Matchless G80TCS Typhoon is a rebuilt model that is claimed to be a strong runner that easily cruisess at highway speeds.
