The MAF was the military version of the MAC, built for the British forces in 1941. It had a strengthened frame, a crankshaft shield, lower gearing and compression, a tougher clutch and a reversed gear-change pattern to match other British service bikes. Only around 950 were delivered before the order was stopped.
