The completion of the Classic Bike BSA Thunderbolt project takes pride of place on the cover of the August issue. The true cost of transforming a £2650 restoration project into a great-looking and reliably roadworthy ’70s British bike is also revealed – and may come as a bit of a shock!
Delving even further into motorcycling’s past, the CB team take a trip to Kent, where three of the guys get their first chance to experience hand-change bikes – a 1928 Sunbeam Model 9 and a 1936 Rudge Ulster.
A Rick Parkington road test of a Suzuki GT750 ‘Kettle’ and the tale of how an owner’s revival of a worse-than-expected Honda CB1100R that was bought sight-unseen, brings things back to the ’70s/’80s, while an interview with 10-time world sidecar champion Steve Webster moves the timeline into this century.
So whatever your favourite era of motorcycling, Classic Bike has it covered.
