kickstart

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old motorbikes feature' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'thrills with skill rounding junction' is the wordplay.
'thrills' becomes 'kicks' ('kick' can be a synonym of 'thrill').
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'skill' becomes 'art' (both can mean a talent).
'rounding' is an insertion indicator.
'junction' becomes 't'.
'kicks'+'art'='kicksart'
'kicksart' placed around 't' is 'KICKSTART'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for kickstart that I've seen is " A flyer".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
