Filter tips!

In a roundabout way!

Banana Republic • As a head-scratching bike from the time, the years have been kind to Triumph’s thought-provoking Daytona 1200.

Second opinion: It’s my bike!

SPECIFICATION

RETRO SECTIVE TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE 1050 • Short, stubby and yet stylish, the first 1050 Speed Triple is now ripe for classic status!

Super Six Mk.2! • Only Allen would have spares left over and say “Let’s build another six-cylinder Zed!”

Balls to this! • Ralph Ferrand works with tools all day long – he sells them too at bikerstoolbox.co.uk so he knows what works.

Electric Avenue! • Our Mark sorts out any electrical gremlins with the TX and finds that the system was fairly advanced for the time.

YAMAHA YR1/2/3 • It’s the great, great grandfather of the Elsie! Welcome to the Yamaha YR family!

RACING HERITAGE:

What to buy, how much to pay?

YAMAHA YR1/2/3

Where fuels rush in… • Final preparations for PB’s Spanish track test go awry with a mystery rich-running problem…

Track day hound! • This bike was gifted to CMM but nowt’s happened for two years – until now!

Exhausting times! • The crowning glory of any ‘special’ two-stroke has to be the expansion chambers, right?

Tanks for the memories! • Time for John to sort out that 550F’s tank issues, we think…

Suzuki GSF1200 Bandit • One of the big successes from the 1990s and onwards was the big Bandit – but how do they break? Only one man can tell us…

Parts and parcel: a breaker’s guide

Useless credit cards: Tsk! • Tuner, engineer, rider
