Motorcyclist Magazine Turns 100 Years Old

motorcyclist magazine 100th anniversary 1953 cover

Motorcyclist Magazine turned 100 this month, making it the world’s oldest continuously-published biker rag (it’s a few years older than Italy’s Motociclista). Not only did the magazine do a great job of naming the Honda CB750 its “Motorcycle of the Century,” but they’ve published an archive of every single cover going back to 1912

You don’t have to know a Ducati 900SS from a Yamaha RZ350 to enjoy the art on display. A few of my favorites are below.
