RC269, the September 2026 issue of RealClassic magazine, is out now and available to order in whizzy digital or old-fashioned ink-on-paper formats.
Highlights this time include a remarkably original 1951 AJS 18C competition model reunited with its former owner’s family, a rare Swiss-built Zehnder 110, an extraordinary century-old Indian Scout restoration, a custom-built Panther 650 special, and a fascinating comparison between a Honda CL450 and Norton Commando 850. Plus, all the way from America, a trio of really rare Kawasaki 650s…
The issue also features a Triumph Tiger Cub special, classic bikes you can buy, workshop projects, reader stories, events, technical advice and one reader’s very special birthday celebration. There’s a tip of the hat to the Moto Guzzi Club GB, a nod to Puch power, extra info about Roland Pike’s Rudge racers and yet another method for fitting pesky centrestand springs…
This is all brought to you by RealClassic’s mix of expert and enthusiast contributors; riders and writers with eons of experience in fixing old bikes. This month’s featured contributors include esotoric ingenius Odgie, the ‘Bullet whisperer’ Paul Henshaw, historian and author Jacqueline Bickerstaff and editor Frank Westworth.
