Italian style leads the way in Issue 132 of Old Bike Australasia, with our cover story celebrating the Ducati 450 Desmo and 750 Sport — two distinctive classics brought back to their best with care and respect for their origins.
Inside, we follow the revival of a 1967 Honda CB77 racer, explore the Honda Gold Wing and revisit the extraordinary Curtiss V8. Kawasaki enthusiasts can savour the legendary 1973 Z1 900, while our new Tuners feature turns the spotlight on Matt Capri and his pursuit of performance.
We also profile Jack Saunders and hit the road for the 2026 Tassie Tour, sharing the people, machines and experiences that keep classic motorcycling moving.
Our Race & Rally Reports capture the action and camaraderie from the Bulli Antique Motorcycle Weekend, Wagga Classic Motorcycle Club Annual Rally, Tarcutta Tiddlers Rally and Macquarie Towns Annual Rally. There’s more from the MCCQ Phil Irving Concours, Festitalia and the Queensland Historic Motorcycle Road Race Championships.
Alongside these features, you’ll find Fuel for Thought, readers’ letters, Ride Radar, Club Pulse, Marketplace and Run to the Line — a packed issue celebrating the pleasure of restoring, riding and sharing old motorcycles.
