Which magazine features a different take on the GSX1000S YOSHIMURA RACER?

Just from the cover alone
that intense aura is radiating (*´ω｀*)

So this is the second installment of the Initiée magazine series


It won’t go on for very long.
Back in the day
there was a shop called Lindbergh along Route 7

with an amazing selection
including used books.

I believe this was excavated from there
if I remember correctly (*´ω｀*)

Motorcyclist – Our Tuning Bikes
August 1982 Special Issue

Just from the cover
you could eat three bowls of rice? Yeah, you could.
That raw aura is just pouring out.

Here’s the table of contents.

No helmet and yeah!
The mysterious era is wonderful (*´ω｀*)
The table of contents is
so simple it’s both good and bad.

Flipping through the pages…
Finally.

Surprisingly? The handlebars are quite low.

The fork is a standard Yoshimura KYB 37φ
The calipers look like 2195 but are actually 2696
The wheel disc looks like RG.

The engine front mount appears
to be floating
but I wonder what it actually is…

As expected, the Katana
looks great with this original bodywork.
The frame too
was modified using
techniques unique to racers of that era.

The triangular stand looks cool…
Nobody cares?

Flipping through the thin pages
another amazing Z appears.
So back then, there were people who actually owned and rode these.
It’s amazing (*´ω｀*)

Towards the end
there’s also “Yoshimura Parts of Japan”

The young mechanic is Asakawa.
I couldn’t find a used copy of this magazine ( ；∀；)

(*´ω｀*)Worth hunting for
