I’m not sure about how the magazine was published i.e. monthly or some other schedule. 2005 apparently only 2 issues, 2006-??, 2007???, etc.
What’s there is great for someone who loves older bikes just wished ( expected ) for more.

Motorcycle Classics Archive Review

I give the archive a 4.5 rating. The only thing keeping it from a 5 star rating is the photos are a little disappointing. Maybe its my lack of knowledge, but I found no way to increase the size of the photos. The photos are not large enough to appreciate, or study, details of the bikes. Also, unlike the original photos in your excellent magazine (I give it a 6-star rating on a scale of 5!), their are no captions that accompany the photos. Other than that, I found the search-engine to be user friendly and have had no problem finding articles I'm looking for. Thanks!

Glitches

There are a few glitches with the usb. It's not my laptop, as I have a 1-year-old HP with Windows 11 and chrome and edge browsers. The first thing I noticed was that although the years are supposed to be 2005 to 2022, there are several issues in several of the years which have a few articles only. I'm not sure why the entire magazines weren't in there and only a few articles from each of these issues were on the usb. Another thing was that some of the Articles have links where you have to go to another article thru the internet to continue reading, and I'm always leery about clicking on links of unknown origin. The USB really should have contained all the articles and the entire articles without having to go to other destinations via links. There are also some ads when you click on the links so it is more like reading internet articles than actual articles taken directly from a publication. The other thing is that in many of the articles reached thru a link, there is a button you have to click "continue reading". That button was non-functional when I tried to use it in several articles. Customer service acknowledged the issue and provided me with a workaround, but this glitch probably should have been addressed before the USB was put out. What I was expecting on the USB based on the mafazine ad was all of the years noted. all the issues within each year, and all the articles from each issue. The USB turned out to have less than expected and the other glitches noted. This is unfortunate. I really enjoy the magazine itself and the USB without the glitches noted would be a dynamite addition to the printed issues. It's still quite usable and to me it's still worth the purchase price, and there are a lot of great articles in there, it's just not up to the standard that it could be.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your purchase and for your detailed review! We truly appreciate you bringing these glitches to our attention!
