I only buy one now if it has an article that I'm interested in. I used to buy TWO and PB quite regularly but got fedup of reading the same road tests all the time.

Motorcycle Sport & Leisure can be good to, bit more of in depth articles and less focus on sports bikes which makes a refreshing change sometimes.

Motorcycle Sport & Leisure has very informative material in it but don't really make for an interesting read. I find that the way Bike, Fast Bikes, Performance bikes are written keeps me better entertained. I prefer Bike primarily.

I like Perf. Bikes. More to the point, I like the photography in PB, and I like how the articles are short so that you can dip in throughout the day in between working and stuff. The level of information is still high though, so I still manage to learn. I also enjoy the reader's custom bikes (not custom like harley, custom like someone builds a really nice YZR lookalike or something, you know what I mean, the specials). And I like how they quite often thrown in bikes that I could afford (ZX7-R's, that kinda thing).

But, that being said, I'm not tying myself to PB. If there is another magazine with a more interesting / relevent article, I'll buy it. I'm not religious about buying magazines either, i'll only buy them when there is something worth reading. I don't fancy reading the 1000's test followed next month by the 600's test then the next month read the nakeds test.

I will be reading about the new R1 though, and look forward to a road test with its peer's, with other road bikes (e.g. VFR etc etc) and hopefully a back-to-back test with the '08 R1

used to read ride and two when i was looking to buy and for the first few months of biking.

then realised they pretty much just regurgitate (sp!) the same old guff on a cycle of 4 months

now dont read magazines. dont have time to be perfectly honest

None. Got fed up reading magazines years ago. They are a total waste of money.
