It’s getting hard to keep up with all of the superb builders out there, especially the work being done in Japan.

Just noticed an ad for what is called the new J. A. Prestwich motorcycle with a new engine built to look like an original. The new Brough Superior, as mentioned recently, will debut at Pebble Beach with new JAP V-Twin engines built by Cameron Racing Engines. The bike shown here, according to the website, is [...]

The engine is basically stock except [...]

This 1938 BSA with a rubber mounted [...]
