RARE MATCHLESS ROTAX
![]()
1988 MATCHLESS G80
This listing is for a 1988 Matchless “Les Harris” G80. The motorcycle is a rare machine in that it was built between the years 1987 and 1990…..with approximate production of 850 units. This particular motorcycle is even more scarce as it has less than 20 original miles! These motorcycles were a “rebirth” of the Matchless marque…powered by a 500cc “bulletproof” Austrian Rotax engine….very well engineered and very reliable! A substantial number of European products were used in the design and build of the bike such as: Paioli suspension, Dellorto carb, Lafranconi silencers and Brembo brakes. The motorcycle, although well styled, outfitted and well built, did not meet sales targets and production ceased in 1990. There has since been a good deal of interest in the bike from enthusiasts and collectors. So, back to this motorcycle: Near new condition with only 20 original miles! The tank had something dripped on it (damaged the paint) and the tank has been repainted. Turn signals, which always broke at the mounting post have been replaced and the fuel petcocks have been upgraded to more workable units. Other than those few changes the motorcycle is a great representation of this Matchless model….built by UK businessman (and enthusiast), Les Harris. The motorcycle starts easily with electric start (and auxiliary kick start). It runs as it should….so could be an opportunity for an outstanding classic rider or as I did…..keep it as a collector bike that is sure to appreciate! The motorcycle is being sold with a clear title and a starting bid of $3,985. This is an outstanding opportunity with similar bikes selling for a good deal more!

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
Please note that we sell motorcycles on consignment. If the motorcycle is a “rider”, then we clean it, check fluids and start it….then photo and list it. If the motorcycle is restored and has been in a private collection, then we clean it, photo it and list it. If you buy one of these outstanding, restored motorcycles and intend to ride it, we recommend that you carefully service the motorcycle (or have this done by a professional) to prepare it for the road. Things such as tires may be New Old Stock, more than 25 years old and as such are quite valuable, but, potentially not roadworthy. Thank you for your understanding. We love selling these incredible motorcycles….we want every buyer to be pleased and safe!
