The January issue of Classic Bike takes you for a ride in a time machine, 50 years back to 1975 – join the celebration of standout events like the launch of Honda’s 400 Four, Johnny Cecotto’s mindblowing arrival on the GP scene, electric-start Brit bikes being tested, Ron Haslam beating the world’s best at Cadwell Park and Martin Lampkin winning the World Trials Championship.
Stepping further back in time, there’s a test of Norton’s first overhead cam road bike, the CS1, before hurtling back towards the present with the story of a Honda NS400R race rep restored by a perfectionist. All this plus the usual round-up of events and news from the classic world, as well as tips, techniques and project bike updates in CB’s revamped Tardis-like workshop section.
