Bike Mags - What do you read and why?

[Demonz]

A couple from this month.

Bike Mag - Oct Issue.
Usually buy Bike for the reiview type articles they do. This month they have an interesting article about rider safety and fatalities. Some research a copper done in Sussex about fatalities on riders and the psycology behind riders in accidents. No suprise most of the fatalities were group rides, sunny days, dry roads in the weekends - sports bikers pushing hard.

Have just picked up the last couple of months. I like the bike reviews on some of the customers and the fly by wire writing reviews. Last month was a ride to Akrapovic factory. This week a fun shoot out sprint on a back road straight somewhere between staff bikes.

Just wondered what everyone else reads and what they enjoy about them??

I usually only buy Bike or Ride but it is very rare indeed that I actually buy a motorcycle magazine. They've all gone downhill really and I don't really trust any of their reviews anymore. I certainly don't touch MCN and will never buy t.w.o, superbikes magazines etc.

I just stick with forums/review sites for that kind of stuff.

I subscribe to TWO and do swapsies with my mate for Bike.

I buy Ride when there's something of interest in it; usually a product test.



PH is right; this came up a few months ago. There, I said it :lol:

Bike and PB, I think those have some good articles. Ride also is usually alright, I tend to pick it up and scan through before buying.

Oh and tend to read MCN in the newsagents and save my one pound eighty

[Balky001]

I read RiDE, Bike, PB and Superbike regularly and some of the others occasionally

I usually like the new items/product reviews, letters, techincal help, long term bike reviews/group tests and racing articles. I used to read it for all the new model coming up for the next year but its dawned on me I can't afford to change the bike this decade so I usually only browse the new bike reviews.

Subscribed to TWO. I find it quite funny and quite often giggle to myself reading it. I am sure my wife thinks I am getting mental. Buy Bike and Ride occasionally plus SB and MCN.
