In this issue

THOR MODEL 13U.
The USA boasts a long and impressive history of motorcycle building, with several entertaining machines. Alan Cathcart encounters Thor, a most
appropriately named motorcycle…

BSA GOLD STAR
Many riders consider BSA’s Gold Star to be an ultimate British sports bike. Frank Westworth has never been a fan. Maybe a Touring version will
change his mind?

HONDA CL350 PROJECT
Simon Huntington had restored dozens of old Britbikes, but what to choose for his first classic Japanese project?

OLLIE’S ODDJOB
Suzuki’s 3-pot stroker GT550 was intended to be an almost sensible tourist. Ollie’s discovered something a little more radical

RealClassic Magazine Description:

Publisher: Kelsey-Media

Category: Automotive

Language: English

Frequency: Monthly

RealClassic magazine features the very best British motorcycles from all eras, plus charismatic Continental machines (and the odd Japanese classics crops up occasionally, too). Long term classic riders will recognise many of the members of the RC team, which includes authors, historians and journalists like Steve Wilson, Dave Minton, Matt Vale, Odgie, Jacqueline 'PUB' Bickerstaff, Rowena Hoseason and editor Frank Westworth -- but the magazine's key feature is that it is firmly grounded in the real world. Our articles are written by real life riders and reflect far more than a simple road test ever can. We're never scared of getting grubby in The Shed (and we even admit it when things go horribly wrong!)
