Appreciate the list, but any chance you could include dates? Went to search eBay for a few, and all the listings have is a date. Didn't see the issue number on the covers.
Thanks.

Issue 97 (SB6 vs YB6) is November 2018, so you should be able to work it out from that. Me, I need my breakfast!

Frig me.....request for attention to detail above and beyond the call of Duty.....

Issue No. 50 is Dated December 2014...….so issue 62 would be December 2015.....Issue 38 would be December 2013....and so on and so on.....On the front cover of each issue there is a barcode with the issue Number and Date of each issue that should help...….

Issue 58 - Bimotaholics….(Actually called Bimotaheads….Why One Bimota is never enough....with 3 of us in there from this Forum was Issue No. 58 Dated August 2015.....

This nice fellow has that issue

Yeh...but sort of inevitable.....I had read that Practical Sportsbikes had the largest audience of subscribers in the UK for a bike Magazine.....and most folk buying a new Performance bikes are old crumblies like us that are also interested in Old bikes, restoring, classics etc....so sort of makes sense.....and gives them a new opportunity to ride and review more modern Bimotas and other bikes in the magazine also....I always thought that their "cut-off" date of 2000 meant they were going to run out of bikes to write about at one time or another...coming up to 100 Editions now

Is that the cut off date … no wonder I though the mag was a bit dull.
I realise the irony of having bikes from '89 and '95 but I have to say PS is a bit … well you know.

Ye big shame about P.B. great mag, great road testers and great journos . I was fortunate enough to have my turbo katana I built some thirty years ago featured by Kevin Raymond in the mag , 212 bhp at the wheel was amazing then but now it's no big deal . Does anyone know if Kev is still out there ? It was his first Readers Special and it would be great to reminisce with him Cheers
