Description

This magazine shown in the photo is an original copy of "Moto Journal," issue number 125, dated June 28, 1973. It is a specialized magazine dedicated to the world of motorcycles, published in France. The cover features a dynamic photograph of a motorcycle race, with a rider wearing number 16 in action on the track, a silver full-face helmet with a red stripe visible. The background suggests a racing atmosphere with blurred spectators, typical of sports magazines from that period.

The title "Moto Journal" appears large, in clearly visible red letters, against a racing scene. Several editorial headlines are printed in yellow and red, notably "ASSEN: MERCI ROUGERIE" and "VESOUL: NOWAK ET COMBES," indicating the main content of this issue. In the upper right corner, a yellow circle draws attention with the mention "ESSAI 90 Harley-Davidson" (TEST 90 Harley-Davidson), highlighting a feature on this iconic brand.

The copy shows a price of 2.50 F and mentions publication "every Thursday," a characteristic detail of weekly specialized magazines. The graphic style, imposing typography, and action photography are typical of the early 1970s. The magazine has a flexible, satin-finish cover (material not specified), with slightly marked corners, signs of prior use, but overall the visual remains legible and attractive for a vintage item.

The visible spine reveals other issues from the same collection, which emphasizes the standard format of this motorcycle press title. No other internal details are visible in the photo; only the front cover is described here, in accordance with the provided image.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Slight signs of wear visible on the cover, dulled corners, but a consistent whole for a 1970s magazine. The main inscriptions remain perfectly legible.
