SuperBike (magazine)

SuperBike was a monthly British motorcycling magazine from Link House Publishing. A spin off from Custom Car magazine, which already ran monthly motorcycle tests, it shared the humour, style and nudes of its parent. Colin Gamm initially edited both titles. In addition to motorcycles, the magazine featured reviews of race bikes, dirt bikes, and others. It is now a completely digital motorcycle media platform, serving content to around half a million bikers a week.
