I have never yet bought a bike mag. The lads at work do so there is normally something to read. We always have Bike as one of the lads ha a subscription to it and I think thats the best mag. Superbike is worth a read too.

Bike, usually...
I do tire of their continued GSXR1000 and KTM worship though

Yes, their advanced riding stuff is pretty good. It's like an IAM/Police Roadcraft book based on "realistic" rather than "by the book" safe riding.

Easy one this

MCN is tabloid hell
BIke is dull as f*%k and seems obsessed with how "quirky" BMW's are
Ride lost all content when Lissa left (and big fuzzy **** took over)
Streetfighters, whilst featuring some amazing atricles and bikes, is too obsessed with waving its balls around to prove how Manly it is
and TWO has always sat on the coat tals of the EMAP collective and failed to do anythign different enough to note attention

though PB.... just doesnt seem to care. It does stuff relating to bikes and enjoys it, then every month they publish what they did and maybe someone buys it. They revel in the details of biking not the power figures, not the big new shiny things, not the latest factory press thing. They just like bikes and they hope you do to.

I agree with that philosophy.
