Moto Retro Illustrated.
Mitch Boehm Editor, Moto Retro Illustrated.
Hi everybody
As many of you know, Motorcyclist Retro was killed by the publisher due to the economy, which is ironic because the magazine did pretty well, selling over 20,000 copies of all three issues we published. Anyway, the success there prompted me to relaunch the magazine under a new name - Moto Retro Illustrated - which we've now done. Issue one is at the printer, and features Eddie Lawson on the cover posing with his personal Lawson Replica KZ1000R. There's a 14-page story inside on the Lawson Replica, Lawson's career, etc. Also plenty of other street and dirt stuff from the late 60s to the early 80s, the era we're concentrating on. BTW, I just bought an '82 GPz750 as part of a GPz story we're working on, and as always, Kawasaki fours will always be part of what we do. So hopefully some of your bikes will end up in our magazine, and there are obviously plenty of historical and tech contacts on this board. Please shoot me a note here or at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you have comments, questions, etc.
PS: The cover of issue #1 is attached.
Thanks! Mitch
