Moto Journal Magazine No. 425 Special Bold'Or 80s Vintage Motorcycle Press

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage magazine is a copy of "Moto Journal," an iconic French motorcycle press title. This is issue 425, dated Thursday, September 13th (year not explicitly visible, but the aesthetics and the price in French francs place this issue in the 80s, which corresponds to the keywords). The cover features a special report on "Bold'Or," a major motorcycle endurance race, with the mention "Exclusive: comparative test of the three queens of endurance."

The graphic layout presents a wide black band embellished with yellow and red lettering very typical of 1980s specialized press. The "MOTO JOURNAL" logo appears in red and white on a black background at the top. A red insert in the upper right corner draws attention to a report "Permit - Vignette: Let's react," highlighting current motorcycle news.

The central part of the cover displays three color photographs of racing motorcycles and riders, identified by the mentions: Honda Usine, Yam Sonauto, Kawa Performance. These images illustrate the leading comparative test of the issue, dedicated to motorcycle endurance, and showcase legendary machines from the 80s. The photographic style, outfits, and motorcycle design are consistent with the period evoked.

The lower left corner indicates the price (France: 6F, Switzerland: 2.0F, Canada: $1.80) as well as the publication date "SEPTEMBER 13". The spine and binding are visible in the photo, showing a classic stapled magazine, with light wear on the upper right corner. The background of the photo shows a wooden bookcase, but only the front of the magazine is visible and described here.
