With the constant demand for more power throughout the 1950s, AJS
pushed its ever-popular 498-cc engines to a whopping 592-cc, but
even that was not enough. In an effort to capture the North
American market, AJS redesigned the bottom end to allow for more
stroke, and by late-1958, AJS had a 646-cc engine capable of speeds
greater than 97 mph.
This AJS Model 31 is currently set up for display purposes only and
shows nicely throughout, although it requires much of its
electrical wiring. Currently fitted with period-correct saddle
bags, these bikes were noted as being very stylish for the time.
