A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR
YOU NEED… …a JAP… …in your shed. • This mythical shed is getting quite full, but there is always room for one more motorcycle in there and when it’s as good as this JAP then room would be made anyway.
YOU ALSO NEED… … A 360 TWIN PORT CZ • We continue our lighthearted look at what we think you ought to have in your shed – or sheds if you’ve taken all our suggestions to heart... Here’s yet another great bike.
Hand-built for a master • Build a bike for a world champ to ride? No pressure then...
