PAINT THE TOWN RED! • At the back end of the 1990s, Honda celebrated their 50th anniversary, and Honda UK capitalised on this, by making a few limitededition models. One man, Danny Brown, wanted to get a few together…

Bye, bye Blackbird… • Honda’s 50th Anniversary Super Blackbird was a phenomenal four-cylinder powerhouse, breathed on by tuners V&M Racing. Bertie Simmonds gets reacquainted with an old friend…

“This one is mine!” Malcolm Macaskill

Quattro Stagioni • Italy has made some of the tastiest motorcycles ever including the Moto Morini 3½ Sport, the Ducati 500 Sport Desmo, the Laverda 750 SF and the Ducati 600SL Pantah. We experience the flavour of all four, all on Bridgestone’s new BT-46 tyre.

Pan Problems and repairs

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

How much more? • He’s still plodding on with this very special Suzuki triple, is our Malc. As if he didn’t know, the devil is in the detail!

Kawasaki GPz1100 • A classic legendary Kawasaki muscle machine for under 5K? Yes, don’t be surprised – this would be the GPz1100… still crazy after all these years.

THE TWIN BEATING HEARTS

A fool and his money… • With a tug on his heartstrings it seems this fool will soon have a tug on his purse strings: what on earth has Bertie bought now?

Performing seals! • Mark...
