A curated group of eight original Classic Bike magazines spanning the late 1980s to 1990, a period widely regarded as formative for classic motorcycle collecting and restoration culture.
The collection includes issues dated: 🌿 September 1988 🌿 October 1988 🌿 November 1988 🌿 December 1988 🌿 April 1989 🌿 July 1989 🌿 September 1989 🌿 May 1990
Notably, the May 1990 issue retains its original free embroidered Classic Bike cloth badge, a period promotional item that is frequently missing and increasingly difficult to find intact.
The magazines feature contemporary coverage of British and European classics including Triumph, BSA, Matchless, Vincent, Norton, café racers, road tests, buying guides and restoration-focused editorial content. Together, they form a coherent snapshot of late‑1980s classic motorcycling journalism.
Sold as a single collection.
