All the magazines I’m selling are mostly in an excellent clean, tear & rip free condition.
The ‘Free Gifts' that are sometimes attached to the magazine (i.e. cloth patches, key-rings, sticker sheets, calendars, supplements, info booklets, extra posters or giveaway ‘freebies’), are not always still attached anymore, or even with the magazine any longer – if they are, consider it as an added bonus, but please don’t expect them to be included within your purchase of the magazine.
If you wish to purchase more than one magazine - I will happily offer you a discounted postal rate to help out – Not a problem, just ask!
I have literally thousands more Motorcycle magazines, from many different publications covering all decades – Please, have look in my eBay shop, you just might find another issue with your bike in
Please Note: the issue that you buy WILL NOT have the words ‘the pygmalion effect’ written across the front cover as in the photo - that is just my shops ‘watermark’ to deter picture theft by other lazy sellers.

Most of these magazines are now impossible to buy as back-issues anymore
So when they’re all gone, sadly they’re probably ‘GONE FOR GOOD’!
So why not get yourself this good ol' nostalgic read & cheer yourself up . . . . for only a few quid
