Classic Bike Guide September 2026

This Triumph special explores the machines that established and extended one of motorcycling’s greatest dynasties. The landmark 5T Speed Twin takes centre stage, accompanied by Triumph’s pre-war Tiger 70, 80 and 90 singles and a look at the modern Bonneville family. Racing history recalls the Daytona performance that put Triumph on a World Championship podium, while Frank remembers the characterful TR6C and the team debates its favourite Triumphs. Workshop coverage explains how to recommission a T140V Bonneville and follows further progress on the Norton project. A newly acquired Kawasaki A7SS, classic-bike news, products, events and reader advertisements complete the issue.
