How many issues have there been so far? The only one I have been able to buy was the first, and I was not too impresses. Either by the price or the content. Since the first issue I have not seen another on the stands.

Sorry My bust, It would be wise for me to read more carefully. I thought you were talking about "Motorcyclist Retro" I forgot they changed their name from "Motorcyclist Classic" My bust, sorry.

Motorcycle Classics has been around since 2005. And, yes, the Under the Radar treatise on the 750 twin was one of the most fair I have ever read going from Kawasaki's apparent reason for producing it to their attempt to give it new life in the CSR guise at the end.

At some point I think that a twin, either 750 or 400/440, will find a home in my garage.

I like some of the articles in the Motorcycle Classics mag. Not enough depth for my liking, but still a good read.

Otakar... Motorcycle Classics shouldn't be confused with the new start up that bombed. Motorcycle Classics is a pretty good magazine although I would prefer the Brit mag Classic Motorcycle Mechanic to lower their US subscription rates as it is far better.

The editor of Motorcycle Classics is a member on this site although he doesn't post much and came on, awhile back and asked for pictures.

It is a bit interesting that Motorcycle Classics isn't more technically oriented. After all, the restoration and maintenance of classic/vintage motorcycles has to rank high in the technical hobby department.

I need to read their restoration series a bit more closely. Perhaps there are some gems in there that I've yet to read.
