The AJS AMC was a range of motorcycles produced by the British motorcycle manufacturer AJS from 1959 to 1966. The AMC models were a departure from AJS's traditional focus on high-performance motorcycles, instead targeting a more affordable and practical market. The AMC range consisted of several models, all powered by a 250 cc single-cylinder engine, initially sourced from the Italian manufacturer, Ducati. These motors were chosen for their robust design, reliability and relatively low cost. The AMC was available in a variety of styles, including a road-going model, a scrambler, and a trials machine. The road-going model was a popular choice for commuters and everyday riders, while the scrambler and trials models were well received by enthusiasts and competitors. Despite the use of a foreign engine, AJS's engineering expertise was evident in the AMC. The AMC was known for its quality build and its reliable performance, making it a popular choice for owners who valued practicality and longevity. The AMC also boasted a lightweight design, which made it an agile and fun motorcycle to handle. The overall design of the AMC was distinctive, featuring a streamlined, almost "sports" style tank, with the AJS brand proudly displayed on the front. However, the AMC struggled to compete with the growing popularity of Japanese motorcycles and was eventually discontinued in 1966. While the AMC may not be as well-known today as some of AJS's older models, it was a significant product for the company and a testament to its ability to adapt to the changing needs of the motorcycle market. Unfortunately, AJS itself ceased production in 1971, and by that time, its legacy had already been overtaken by the rising popularity of Japanese manufacturers.
