The February issue of RealClassic magazine features classic motorcycles from Italy, Germany and even India, plus the usual bunch of brilliant old Britbikes. Here’s how to buy a copy

ADLER M250
RC reader Robin Ellis explains about his love affair with Adler motorcycles, and in particular a 1953 M250 which comes complete with a deliciously deco Steib LS200 sidecar

AJS MODEL 31 RESTORATION
After nearly eight years in The Shed, and nearly half a century since it last turned a wheel, Frank Westworth’s 650 twin is almost ready to ride. Almost...

IVORY CALTHORPE REBUILD
Alan Freke tackled a considerable challenge with the rebuild of a very rare 1935 Ivory Calthorpe Minor 250. Finally, it’s back in one piece and on the road. But the first year together didn’t go entirely well...

PLUS a rider reports on the Sunbeam S7, insider info from the old AMC factory, technical tips on life, Graham Ham goes in search of a Cornish pasty, we launch the OK Diner Challenge, and Jacqueline Bickerstaff and Dave Minton review their past couple of months. Distinct absence of chocolate at RCHQ, too; it must be a New Year diet...
