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! _________________ Bimota DB1, Bimota YB5, Bimota YB6 Exup, Bimota YB9 SR, Ducati NCR Replica, Moto Guzzi 750 S3, Honda CR750 race replica, Seeley-Suzuki TR500 |

I thought this thread was about bigger pistons
It's a shame PB is being merged _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

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. _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

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 _________________ Horseheed |
