Motorcycle Sport & Leisure still available and my mag of choice nowadays. They don't actually care whether the latest sports bike has 205 or 206 bhp and weighs 165.5kg or 166kg
A good read.

Well - I have been buying an American Mag called 'Classic Motorcycle' for the last few years....it's a Bi Monthly (no that's not anything to do with sexuality before some Wag say's so).

It's not generally available but the large WH Smith Stores - Victoria Station always had it in stock when I commuted.......and although it's not a thick mag (i.e. not full of adverts) they do cover some really unusual and rare machines......and as some are American, you don't often see them in the UK Bike mags.

Anyway.....as the mag has just celebrated it's 10th Anniversary, they have produced a Memory Stick with ALL their digitised back issues....for $25.99 + $6.99 P&P !

I haven't received it yet, but I bought it as one of the splendid Christmas presents which my lovely Wife got for me.......but I can recommend the mag if like me, you get a bit fed up of some of the bland offerings we have here in GB......and at that price I don't think that you can go wrong.

Now: 2008 CB1300S, CB750K4, 1970 Bonneville. Various other 1960's 650 Triumph T120's/ TR6's/ TR6C's (all in bits...many, many bits unfortunately). Previous: 2007 CB600FA, 1976 CB500 Four. BMW F800ST. GS750E. ZZR1100. CB1300 (2). ZXR1200S. VFR800. CB750 Nighthawk. CX500. XS500 Yam. Suzuki GT500. BSA A10. Various Lambrettas. Zundapp Bella (honest).
