I literally have thousands more Motorcycle magazines, from many, MANY publications, covering many decades 

Please, have look in my eBay shop, you just might find another issue with your bike in it

Your purchase will not have the words ‘pygmalion-effect’ across the front cover, like it is in the photo above - that is just my shops ‘watermark’

These magazines are impossible to buy as back-issues anymore, and are now only commercially available through established, enthusiastic, magazine sellers like myself!

When they’re gone, sadly they’re going to be ‘gone for good’

Great nostalgia . . . . for just a few quid
