The Modified Montesa by Bob Braverman. A piston-port street machine will respond to only so much tuning – not nearly enough for a young enthusiast named Gerry Korman. Gerry wanted to go racing – drag strip style. He set to work modifying his Montesa Impala and began by building and installing a home-machined rotary intake valve.

How do you build a Bultaco? Slowly…and with great pride! If you want the beautiful proof try a 100cc Lobito. The smallest machine the factory makes…yet is very much a Bultaco. How can you tell? Simple. Look for things like a 49 1/2-inch wheelbase for better trail handling. Note also the almost six-inch front fork travel, and the three-way adjustable rear shocks…

Cover Photo: Honda’s awesome CBX1000 Six with its 24 valves, factory-rated 103 horsepower and six carburetors bristles with innovative design. Does it signal the begining of an incredible era beyond all known superbikes or the end of what is now the superbike era and a return to basics for the 1980s? Discipline among the Japanese factories and sales success will determine which.

In lion country near Mt. Kilimanjaro we met Russ of Salt Lake City. We rode the African veldt together for seven weeks before our trails parted in Rhodesia. Later Arlene and I received a letter from our friend, Russ Scovile, Associate Director of the Peace Corps in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: “…When I left you at Karila Dam I continued south to Basutoland and Swaziland before riding north again towards East Africa and Ethiopia. Seventeen thousand miles in four months. I carried full camping gear and a week’s supply of food. My R27 needed only a speedometer cable, a set of points, a spark plug, and a front fender job (my fault) during that period.” -From Danny Liska’s diary of his trip from the North Cape in Norway to the South Cape at the Southern tip of Africa – 40,000 miles on his BMW R60.

The reason we mix these two is that we want to show that Bavaria produces more than one kind of beauty. Take the Zundapp KS100 for instance. No compromises made here. It is all motorcycle. It had to be to win its class in the Greenhorn 2 Enduro Run. Here’s why: large wheelbase, enormous ground clearance, high torque, elastic engine and above all extremely good acceleration. The Zundapp is ready to go – on trail or track.

A bicycle company located in England and owned and operated by two Germans hardly seems like a sound basis for a motorcycle manufacturing firm that was to have a proifound effect on the highly competitive, performance oriented motorcycle industry. But this is essentially what Triumph Engineering Co., Ltd. looked like when it began, although it wasn’t to acquire its present name until the mid ’30′s.
Triumph’s founder, Seigfried Bettmann, did a bang up job of making bicycles, beginning in 1885, and a couple of years later he enlisted the services of a young fellow countryman, an engineer by the name of M.J. Shulte, who had better things in mind than leg power…

Published in 1981. Editorial: …Rather than settle for less motorcycle than you really want, why not select a good used bike, and, if you need more performance, set it up with aftermarket gear so it will perform as well as the latest? That’s the purpose of this book. We tell you what we think the good machines are, and suggest reasonable prices for them. We select a number to reprise in reprinted tests and a few more for special update attention. We also tell you how to care for your bike to make sure it always runs as well as it can, and offer some examples of what you can do to an old bike if you’re willing to go all-out in performance and custom modifying. If you’d like to do that anyway, you’d be wasting your money to buy a new bike to metamorphose. Every motorcycle in this book is a good buy, even if you keep it stock. You won’t find any bombs, like Yamaha’s ill-fated TX750 twin, which wasn’t right when the factory put it out…nor will you find any mention of those Eastern European slugs that occasionally turn up in the classifieds for unbelievably low prices. You’ll only find the best bikes of the decade and the best information available on how they changed, how to fix them up and how to take care of them. If you already own one of these machines you’ll discover a wealth of information on how to keep it forever young and faithful to you…

When a Kawasaki moves you.. it moves you! Nothing else triggers the same response because Kawasaki is totally unique…the only motorcycle built by an aircraft company to jet-age tolerances. Every Kawasaki power plant is finely tuned to deliver the ultimate in performance. For instance, the Samurai 250 by Kawasaki stands alone as the only 250cc dual rotary valve, 2-stroke street model sold in the US. And at the top of the line, Kawasaki’s masterful 650 unleashes 50-h, whips thru the 1/4 mile from a standing start in less than 14 seconds…attains a maximum speed of 115 mph to prove its claim as the fastest, biggest, most powerful motorcycle ever built in Japan.
