Thanks for posting this ~ I don't have that article.

I do have CYCLE GUIDE May,1985 article.

I also have CYCLE WORLD May,1985. The CYCLE WORLD is a cool 2 part article in which they tested the bike by itself in part 1 and then followed by pitting it against a Cobra 427. Glad I kept them.

I scanned the Cycle Guide 5/85 article in high resolution but it is too large of pixel size that his site won't accept the attachments.

So I have put the Cycle Guide May '85 into a PDF file, Mac Pages, and Word and you can PM me with your email address and tell me which format you want and I'll send it to you.

Maybe someone can figure out how to attach it without reducing it so small in resolution that it is almost unreadable.

I'll do the same very soon for the May '85 Cycle World article.

Thanks.

Especially this chromed out silver bullet Vmax.Wonder if it still exists after all these years? I'd like to see what it look's like now.:biglaugh:

 

[Norms 427]

I've just scanned and am ready to send out another article by CYCLE WORLD of the same date, May '85. This one has a cool comparison with a Cobra 427.
