AJS MODEL 31 RESTORATION
The 650 twin is a sniff away from being finished, so Frank Westworth tots up what this eight year restoration has cost

BSA W32
A sidevalve 1932 500cc single isn’t the most obvious candidate for preservation, but the owner explains how this girder-forked hand-change example is a very satisfying machine to own and to ride

JAMES COMET
In an earlier age of austerity, the 98cc Villiers-engined James Comet was Britain’s most economical motorcycle. Rowena Hoseason meets this marvellously miserly mile muncher

NORTON COMMANDO SPRINTER
Do you fancy a Norton built for straight lines? Commandos were always fast off the mark; Odgie finds one built for that sole purpose...

ROYAL ENFIELD BULLET REBUILD
Take one inexpensive Indian Enfield 500 single, apply expertise and experience, and turn it into a dream machine. Well, sort of. In the second episode of this short series, attention turns to the Mk1 concentric carb

ROYAL ENFIELD CONSTELLATION
It’s big, it’s red and it’s very fast. Jonathan Hoare met Jim Ord-Hume and his 1962 RE twin; a fast combination

TRIUMPH BUCCANEER
The Buccaneer is a bespoke 750 Bonneville. Does this mean that it’s a better Bonneville? Frank Westworth hits the road again

YAMAHA R5
Rather less well known than an RD, this super-smoker five-speed two-stroker dates from 1971 and is suitably attired in fetching, erm, orange

PLUS Jacqueline Bickerstaff investigates Cross motorcycles; Dave Minton unearths old bike magazines; Graham Ham and the gang ride in search of Yorkshire pudding, and readers reveal more about Norton Nomads, bright lights and BSA Cyclones.
