The Stevens Screw Company was a company specialized in making small mechanical parts whose owner, Joe Stevens, together with his sons in 1897<\/strong> will build a 400cc engine and later in 1905<\/strong> their first JAP-powered motorcycle.
\nAJS <\/strong>will born as a motorcycle company only in 1909<\/strong> from the initials of one of his sons, Albert John Stevens.
\n<\/strong>The british brand boasts several wins at the Tourist Trophy:<\/strong> the first one at the 1914<\/strong> Junior TT where the registered AJSs came in first, second, third, fourth and sixth place; the company will later win both the 1921<\/strong> Junior and Senior TT, the latter conquered with a 350cc AJS when the competition was up to 500cc of displacement. Following bankrupcy, it will later be purchased by Matchless in 1931 <\/strong>and the brand will kept being used up until 1974<\/strong>.
\n<\/strong>The 33\/2<\/strong> also known as Model 2 <\/strong>will be introduced in 1933<\/strong> and equipped with the 982cc V-Twin side-valve engine from the Matchless Model X<\/em> after the acquisition from this company.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
