Back Street Heroes June '23. Colin Darlow's Malarkey Digger
Classic Bike Magazine Dec '24. Tony Beynon's Goldstar
"With it's low set clip-ons and rear set pegs the Goldie sends out a very clear message, it's a hairy-chested, uncompromising road burner and it's not hard to see why the Goldie was equally revered by rockers, road racers and rebels. A true classic."
