The Solo Classics Story

Welcome to Solo Classics! Where every motorcycle we work with has a story to tell, just as we do. Our story is built on passion, craftsmanship, and a lifelong love for classic motorcycles. It’s a story that’s deeply connected to the marques that have defined motorcycling history, and it’s our privilege to preserve and share these iconic treasures with fellow enthusiasts. 

How It All Began

The journey of Solo Classics began long before the name existed. It started with a deep fascination for the timeless beauty and engineering excellence of classic motorcycles. As a family-run business based in the heart of Bollington, Cheshire, we’ve spent decades immersed in the world of motorcycles – the roar of engines and the thrill of the open road. Everyday, we live and breathe the passion that these magnificent marques bring to life.

With over 50 years of combined experience, our team consists of riders, racers and restorers who are dedicated to these incredible machines. What began as a personal passion has since evolved into something greater: a mission to preserve, restore and celebrate motorcycle history for generations to come.

More Than Just Machines

At Solo Classics, we don’t see motorcycles as mere machines; we see them as exceptional pieces of history. Each motorcycle carries the essence of its marque, reflecting the design, culture and craftsmanship of its time. That’s why we’re committed to restoring each motorcycle with the utmost care, ensuring that its original character remains intact, even as we bring it back to life.

However, we are not here simply to just admire the past. We believe that classic motorcycles are meant to be ridden, enjoyed and celebrated, not just displayed. Our restorations focus on both authenticity and performance, ensuring that these legendary motorcycles are not only visually striking but also road-ready, staying true to their roots while embracing modern reliability.
