Its a good general overview of the bike ( the forum even gets a mention in dispatchs ).

Too many curvy pics though ( it might put people off owning one ) :wink:

Fantastic! Cheers!

[Peter Henry]

Well any owner or someone considering making a purchase must surely be pretty pleased with that right up? The SV to my mind comes out very well there. All the well known hiccups are mentioned and as we all know most are easilly remedied. :wink:

[Cloggsy]

The price on the K5....gulp
Surely not?

I know, I remember seeing things like that when I had my K3 :roll: T'is true :cry:

I got offered £1800 trade in against the KTM, sold it for £3K (thankfully in standard fettle,) sold all the other bits on for extras :roll:

Even I've been offered £1800 for mine and mine is in much worse condition than yours was.

[The Basket]

Well...buy a new vehicle and taste the depreciation. Mmmm....bitter in the mouth.

A fool and his money.... :D

Should have learnt by now.

[kjames]

Great article here. Although the rest of the mag (March issue only) IMO is seriously mundane.

I have been a RIDE subscriber for over 2 years now & have been reading it for close on 6yrs.

The latest issue is the worst I have ever read!

Were they just havin an off month? New year hangover blues???

:?

[The Basket]

RiDE is steadily turning to poo.

I used to buy and read every issue like clockwork but for the last year or so, I really don't bother.

Isn't it the same bods who do MCN ? There's probably your connection :wink: :lol:

[Moo]

I didn't renew my subscription this time simple fact just got tierd of reading it, about a month after the subsription ended the sales team phones me up about renewing they said that they would give me so many free issues and another free gift. Still didn't renew just though how desparate are they.
Got in to the habit over winter of buying MCN the going into the pub for two or three pints of guinness while I have a good read though.

[SVeeedy Gonzales]

I've been reading Ride for about 3 years and stopped getting it a few months back as it's gone off.

Should be retitled to 'Ride... a BMW, why don't you?' seeing as they're in every single issue since they got their new BMW obsessed Ed. :roll:

[copper kettle]

Thanks for the article!!!

Have you lot tried TWO magazine. Personally i find it really good and has a varied selection of bikes rather just focusing on one in particular.

I quite like Performance Bike lately - lots more weird and wonderful things going on in there. Mmm... mods...

[northwind]

Ride's turned to drivel... I'm still getting it out of habit, but PB and TWO are miles better. Bike's OK, not great but OK, and Streetfighters remains the peak of puerile nonsense. Which is fine by me :)

Thanks, Cloggsy!

Fine by me too. I think the guy on VD who writes for it would be pleased to hear what we think.

[northwind]

Wingnut? I think he got a bit fed up fending off complaints about Streetfighters Xtra last month ;)
