History
Launched in 1991 and edited by Frank Westworth, Classic Bike Guide mainly features original specification British motorcycles with occasional articles on foreign marques and one-off 'specials'. Under Westworth, a regular team of writers including Jim Reynolds, Steve Wilson and Rod Kerr penned many of these articles.
