The cover of Classic Bike’s September issue shows an in-your-face image of Barry Sheene on the bike that took him to two top-flight world championships in the 1970s – the Suzuki RG500. Inside, there’s an analysis of this glamorous double act by top GP writer Mat Oxley, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the bike’s earth-shattering arrival.
You’ll also find a 500cc Norton single that’s been causing a stir on the Isle of Man – but it’s not a Manx. Plus there’s the tale of how Laverda’s 75th birthday party took over a whole Italian town, as well as the return of the project Harris Magnum with a complete rebuild of its Suzuki GSX1100 engine. So no shortage of stories to keep you entertained as you enjoy the summer sun.
