    There’s something of a twin-cylinder theme to this month’s magazine, which features a really rare postwar V-twin, a sidevalve parallel twin, an overhead cam inline twin, a traditional British ohv twin and a BMW Boxer.

      Martin Gelder gave us the lowdown on living with an R80/7 a couple of months ago in RealClassic’s April issue. We unearthed a fascinating stack of lovely original literature to go with the feature, but many of the images were too tiny to appear very big in print. Thanks to the wonder of the…
