According to good sources, that is the best Japanese air-cooled four-cylinder. Just like the CB750, the FJ 1200 and some other Tigers of the Year. Does not matter. A beautiful Suzuki GS 1000 is a classic topper from the time when technology was not yet about software. The fact that Suzuki only later in More
There has been a clear line for a long time: The BMW boxers (the two-valves) came in three flavors: A top model, a sidecar machine and a service bicycle. When BMW experienced its miraculous resurrection, there was a sting in the story: BMW declared that no sidecars could be attached to it. that that (later) More
The season is now seriously over. So we give our classics their winter hibernation in a nice winter storage. They appreciate that because in their youth they often had to hit the road around the seasons. Cleaning was done with the garden hose or bucket and sponge. Because brushing from October? There was nothing wrong with that More

We are fortunate to know Ben van Helden. Ben trains goldsmiths and is a motorcycle enthusiast. His approach is to buy a pathetic, somewhat more unusual engine and to fix it with all the love and craftsmanship of a master goldsmith. When that's done, he drives around a bit, goes More
… they set the benchmark. That is why the most modern factory of classic motorcycles, IMZ (Irbitskiy Mototsikletniy Zavod) or Ural, has moved from Russia to Kazakhstan. There is a new factory hall in Petropavlovsk. The people who move with us speak Russian. Most people in the new location do the same. And to trained personnel More
Blowing over the Afsluitdijk behind a sleek cockpit in your classically cut leather outfit? Do not do it. With the current heat and max speed thing, cruising is cool. And you apparently do optimal cruising on a motorcycle with a V2 block. They also came up with that in 1985 at Suzuki. But where then More
