The July issue of Classic Bike gets sporty with a first-year Suzuki GSX-R750 that escaped the scrapyard to become a fine example of the breed after a 17-year restoration – and there’s a twist in the tale for the owner. Much less preparation went into Editor Hugo’s £750 Honda VFR, but he planned to take it to Northern Ireland to see the North West 200 anyway – find out if he made it in the magazine. With many British bikes becoming more affordable, the buying guide on unit-construction Bonnevilles could help you buy a bargain. There’s also a revealing interview with notorious prankster and former team-mate of Barry Sheene, Steve Parrish. Along with the usual stack of workshop insights and projects, it’s the perfect summertime reading material for classic bike lovers.
