Project titan - Part 3
18 January 2012
This month Steve Cooper turns his attention to a few of the missing parts, and a very worthwhile cost effective upgrade.
Suzuki GS750
21 December 2011.
Suzuki’s first four-stroke was spot-on straight out of the crate and it also laid the cornerstone for the company’s four-stroke motorcycling future.
Kawasaki 350/400 triples
16 November 2011.
Kawasaki’s 350 and 400cc triples followed on the success of the original H1 and are quite possibly the most undervalued yet exciting triples Kawasaki ever made.
RGV Z50 Suzuki - Spotter's Guide
19 October 2011.
The Japanese factories’ final 250 stink-wheels were effectively the finale of the genre and Suzuki’s RGV is undoubtedly one of the best to turn a (stink) wheel.
Benelli 500 LS
21 September 2011.
All too often dismissed as an Italian facsimile of the CB500, the Benelli 500 Light Sport spices up the UJM concept like pepperoni on a pizza.
Team Jam’s four hour
17 August 2011.
Team Jam, after four years of collectively enjoying the Bikers’ Classics trackdays and parades, is making its debut in the Four Hour. It’s quite a step-up for this keen bunch who, like you and me, are just hobby riders.
Archive: Ducati Darmah DD Engine Strip: part ten
26 July 2011.
From Issue 070 – August 1993 – The 'Big Duke' lives again! - Did Bob Berry really believe ten is a better number to finish on than nine, or did he want me to prove this rebuild was successful? wonders Pete Marston. Pictures by Rosie Marston.
Hello Moto
20 July 2011.
It’s good to see, as doubtless you already have done, a Morini getting due editorial attention because it was – along with the rather more slickly run Laverda – one of the smaller Italian factories that in the 70s was still having a crack at the Japs.
Archive: Ducati Darmah DD Engine Strip: part nine
19 July 2011.
From Issue 069 – July 1993 – Finished at last - The engine, that is, but we can't let Pete Marston conclude on article number nine can we? Just one more episode will be forthcoming to make it a nice tidy series of ten – dealing with whether the big V-twin starts or not and how it runs. Pictures by Rosie Marston.

12 July 2011.
From Issue 068 – June 1993 – Completing the bottom end – No more dining room table assembly, Pete Marston is finally consigned to the garage to complete the bottom end rebuild. Pictures by Rosie Marston.
