Category: Reader restos

The magazine covers a lot of restoration projects but sometimes we just have too many at any one time to feature in certain issues. Also, some of the resto projects that come our way don’t have photographs that are of a high enough quality to meet the very demanding standards that are a hallmark of VMX Magazine (and they can be too damn far away for us to get to and photograph ourselves!). But most of those restos still deserve an audience so we have devoted this page to featuring some of the bikes that didn’t quite make it into the magazine for one reason or another. Either way, they are someone’s pride and joy and well worth a look.

If you have a bike you want to show us by the way, don’t be shy, email ken@vmxmag.com.au and share it with the world.
