Isn't Mitch the guy that raced the 550 that was built at Mid-Ohio from a bike and parts built in the vendor area?
My son Jamie was there that year and we had fun watching them building and racing the bike.
They were in our area several times digging for parts.I removed the tach cable form my KZ1000A1 and gave it to them for the race bike.
I like articles like that.

That was Bohem on the KZ550. The other classic motorcycle magazine folks seem to be confusing with this new offering is MOTORCYCLE CLASSICS www.motorcycleclassics.com/

I really enjoy Motorcycle Classics and welcome any new offering as well.

Yeah I've been mixed up as well.
I bought the last issue of Motorcycle Classics with the kz1300 in it.
I have yet to see Motorcyclist Classic on the shelves. :(

Nope! Motorcyclist Retro is the name of the new magazine.

I had picked up the April 2008 copy of Motorcyclist and the full page ad at the back calls it Motorcyclist Retro.

Well guys, I've had no luck finding "Motorcyclist Retro" or Classic for that matter anywhere, and we have some supermarket sized book stores around this area. The Mag racks have entyre sections dedicated to bikes. At this rate the mag is dumed to fail, unless it gets some real expousure and someone can actually go and buy it.

Otto:(
74 Z1-A stock
76 KZ-900 Totaly stock vice MAC pipe
77 KZ-1000A stock
78 Z1-R 100%MINT 500 original Mi.
78 Z1-R Yoshi 1103 kit stage 1 cams Yoshi pipe. Etc
79 KZ-1300 (1400)
