Practical Sportsbikes

#1 Post by Ronnie » Thu Feb 24, 2011 6:01 am

Just a heads up to those that don't know about this great magazine. It's about buying, restoring, fixing and riding 70's, 80's and 90's classics.

The spring issue has an excellent article about the RD500+RG500+NS400R as well as some great articles about fantastic restorations on Suzuki 250 X7's, RD250 & RD400 air cooled etc. Well worth a read.

Here's a link to it.

This months edition has a letter from a RD500LC owner who has a new bike. It's never been started or turned a wheel. Theres also a RD350LC special pull out edition, plus RGV250 articles.

Steve, what you need to do is fund a Yamaha crate and pack your bike back in it :grin:
