EDITOR TERLICK SAYS: The evolution of motorcycles has a bunch of chapters, and one of the most marked was the chapter of single-cylinder engines. Although it was swept away quite suddenly — once twins arrived, triples and fours quickly became commonplace — singles were the mainstay of the motorcycle industry for decades. The AJS18 was one of the last of the big British singles. With a rigid rear end and a 500cc engine, the big Ajay was strong as an ox and well evolved, making it an excellent example of the big-single era. This ’49 model selling from Sydney looks like a beaut.
