AJS Motorcycles
After the collapse of Norton Villiers in the early 1970’s AJS was re-started by the late Fluff Brown in September 1974. Fluff was the off-road competition manager at Norton Villiers, managing the AJS Stormer scrambles team in their quest to win British and World Championships.
Fluff’s passion was scrambling and racing was in his blood, and so when the end of AJS was inevitable and the Stormer was in peril, Fluff seized the opportunity to purchase the entire AJS Stormer spare parts inventory and manufacturing rights. Fluff continued the parts supply for the AJS Stormer and produced affordable FB-AJS Moto X machines for the clubman racer, and 250cc FB-AJS trail bikes into the 1980’
Fluff’s eldest son, Nick Brown, joined the company in 1987 and was soon looking at the array of small motorcycles built in China. One of the first Chinese built children’s off road bikes available in the UK was the Jianshe Coyote-80. It was first imported and distributed through a dealer network by AJS in 1998. This well-built little machine was an outstanding success, proved very robust and reliable, and paved the way for more affordable learner legal motorcycles to follow.
Today AJS Motorcycles Ltd. only employ the best companies to build their motorcycles. That means not only the best manufacturing quality, but the best support and the best spare parts backup.
