Does anyone remember the "Bike" magazine road test of the day that was titled "Nothing Exceeds like XS"

I've got one.  It's a beast.

It's also quite difficult to keep running cleanly as I don't ride it very often and it suffers from poor running through the carbs. Needs a strip and clean I suspect.

It's also for sale if you are interested.

Practical Sportsbikes is run by Jim Moore who is the deputy editor of Classic Bike. I've read all three (he gave me a free copy of issue 1  8))

It is a good read - I particularly like the "Family Tree" section.

Issue 1 featured:
LCs
Katana
ZX/ZXR family tree
Blade
Honda V4 family tree
RG/RGV family tree
CBR6

I had to wonder what he'd left for issue 2??

It's a quarterly (4 issues per year)

Hi Paul

I have a complete 550 engine in my barn. It hasn't moved for years and could be a good source for parts.

The internal condition is unknown.

I wrote a FAQ on this a few years ago on the US site:

At 56k miles it will need a complete engine rebuild (as well as a respray...)

Loomies is good.  Keep going west from Petersfield on the A272. Next major junction is A32 - Loomies is right there.

Also try Alton Station Cafe - but check closing times as I've made the odd mistake and turned up to an empty car park...

I have a Cibie Z on my 500/4 (Silver Machine)

Unfortunately it's a European one and dips the wrong way - requires copious application of black masking tape each MOT...    8)

Steve Carpenter ("Carpy") is indeed an expat Brit - drop him a line - he loves to hear from Honda owners from back home!
