This is one of the great John Surtees bikes. The only man to win both the motorcycle world championship (4 times) and the Formula 1 world championship in cars (1964).

1962 Surtees Matchless.

He built this bike himself two years after completing his last motorcycle competition race. Designed to be a very lightweight 500cc bike weighing in at just 245 Ibs. It would be too light to compete in a modern race.
