ABOUT THE MAGAZINES
A two-issue bundle of the early British Classic Bike magazine, covering the classic motorcycle scene and machines from an earlier generation of British and European motorcycling. The issues have particularly strong appeal for Vincent, Velocette, Norton, Rudge and Megola enthusiasts, with features ranging from the Vincent marque and Phil Irving's work on the Velocette vertical twin to tests and features on the Norton 850SS and Rudge TT Replica. Classic Bike was established as a specialist publication celebrating historic and classic motorcycles and their engineering, restoration and riding history.
