This month’s magazine finally features Odgie’s corking creation, the Zenster, in awesome action, plus a couple of 750 British twins, a vintage single, a very special Velo, the return of Graham Ham and even an Honda V4. Here’s how to buy a copy...

AJS MODEL 31
The 650 twins rebuild continues, as Frank W fits the speedo and many spokes, and discovers a variety of cables which slot into levers in all manner of unexpected ways. (Notice how we managed not to mention ‘nipples’). (Until then).

BSA A65 REBUILD, Part 5
The 650 unit construction engine goes back together, and Matt turns his attentions to the speedo drive (a little late, as it happens)

HONDA V1000FF
Back in 1986, Honda built V4s which were... Fast and Furious? Fat and Fluffy? Frightful and Fearsome? An owner explains why his VF1000 so remarkably yellow and what the FFuss is all about

NORTON COMMANDO 750s
Superficially, Norton’s Roadster and Fastback 750 Commandos only differ in their styling. So why would someone want to own one of each? Rowena Hoseason investigates what changed between 1968 and 1971, and introduces an owner who delights in these distinctions

ROYAL ENFIELD MODEL S
This 1936 250 came out of a shed, looking very sorry for itself. Considerable effort transformed it back into a roadgoing hand-change girder-forked flyer. And very smart it looks these days, too

TEST RIDER’S DIGEST
We asked Frank Westworth to pick his favourite classic bike from the previous year, and he almost gave us a straight answer. He just took a detour via a Triumph Tiger, BSA Rocket 3, Sunbeam S8, Panther 350, Norton Dominator, MZ ISDT replica, and a TR6 on his way to delivering the reply

TriBSA
Some riders considered them to be a poor-man’s Triton, but others preferred the BSA frame to the featherbed. John Walton tried hard to live with a TriBSA...

VELOCETTE VALIANT SPECIAL
Not many people would think of turning a Velocette LE into a trail bike, with the aid of a Valiant chassis. But RC readers are famed for their ingenuity!

ZENSTER RIDDEN
It lives! After a year in the workshop, Odgie’s amazing minimalist sidevalve single takes to the road. Gawp in awe at its blueness...

PLUS Graham Ham returns to tell us what he’s been doing with his Triumph Speed Twin; PUB fettles drum brakes; Dave Minton risks life, limb and sanity in the snow on his Laverda triple, and RC readers write about health and safety, Avgas, and myths on the subject of Sunbeams...
