Your are forgiven. It's a British mag, so it has British stuff in it. Harris make bike frames, and other bits.

Harris frames were apparently popular in the UK in the 80s because they thought the handling of their fast bikes was deficient (I've never ridden a 1987 GSXR750, but it does look like a spindly son-of-a-bitch, so it probably was scary). I guess bikes had engines way better than their frames, so people stuck good Jap engines in good Brit frames to get bikes that were fast and didn't wobble around corners.

Lookie They still make frames for oil cooled GSXR750/1100 engines! They look cool too.
