In the January/February issue of Classic Racer magazine:
Iconic Metal: Gilera 500/4
Beautiful and long-lived, the Gilera 500/4 raced from1948 through to the end of 1966 taking six rider and six constructor’s championships along the way. Enjoy this photographic record of one legendary machine.
‘I dream of Sheenie’
Stuart Barker is a lucky man. From drawing pictures of Barry Sheene’s XR45when bored at school he’s only gone and got himself a ride on it…Oh, and he’s even allowed a pop on Kevin Schwantz’s XR84 from 1994, too. The git.
Yamaha YZF-R6
Back in 1999, Yamaha developed a supersport machine like no other: the track focused R6. In 2021 it effectively disappears from Yamaha’s range. Here’s Alan Cathcart’s ride on the World Supersport contender.
