Make or Break? Aprilia RSV1000 Mille. ‘Are these sought after yet?’ Not really. Though by rights they should be. The posher R model with its fancy Ohlins suspension and OZ wheels is the desirable one, but even they can picked…
Make or Break? Kawasaki ZXR750L. “The forgotten model.” Everyone gets excited over the earlier ZXR models. The H1 and H2 for me are THE ones to have. That is just because I sunk every penny I had into a H1…

Ardingly Classic Bike Show and Jumble returns to The South of England Showground on Sunday 29th October 2023, rounding off the season in style with a Vincent theme. Vincent is synonymous with world speed records; perhaps the most notable being…
Flogged It Friday! Honda CBR900 Fireblade engine. ‘Another engine lost to a kit car.’ The Honda CBR900 Fireblade engine was one of the first to be used by kit car builders. Thirty years later they are still in demand. This…
