Sport Rider...they aren't just full of ads, they have good info on bike comparisons and articles that don't bore you.

Motorcycle Consumer News. It's like Consumer Reports for motorcyclists. Honest bike tests, believable product reviews, no ads, no hotties, and lots of how-to's. The bad: costs $41/year.

Wow, great question.

I'm a magazine junkie and read a lot of them. I only subscribe to Sport Rider and soon Road Racer X and Road Racing World. I like Sport Rider since it is a bias mag about sport bikes and all around great writing. I like RRX & RRW because they both offer in-depth Road Racing news and both have great writers. RRX is cool because many pro riders like Randy Mamola, Colin Edwards, Jason Disalvo, and Nicky Hayden have their own columns. I also like Two Wheel Tuner because they seen to cover the stunt seen better then the other mags and don't over load the mag with bling bikes. I can appreciate a bling bike or two but a whole mag worth is way to much. I only buy the more common mags that cover the whole bike seen like Motorcyclist if they have a few articles I want to read.

I'll have to check out Motorcycle Consumer News. It sounds like a good one.

I like Road Racer X and Roadracing World, both have lots of COLOR pictures and cool articles and ads for stuff you wont find anywhere else...The Sport Rider last issue was a carbon of Motorcyclist and Cycle World, everyone comparing the same bikes and previewing the same as well...But I do subscribe to all of them and enjoy reading CYCLE NEWS also since it is a once a week publication

I was looking at one at the store and it was one from the UK. I cant remember what it was called. It was awesome. Sweet pics and they had naked chicks on bikes. the only thing was it is like $10 for one and like $83 for a year. Nice centerfold in the middle

Cycle World for sure, Not only do they get to test all the sweet bikes before anybody else, they also dont only talk about crusiers. i also think that they give the most honest opinons when it comes to product reviews.

The "Fast Bikes" and "Performance Bike" are exceptional if you can foot the bill from $8 plus to $13 or so... Two Wheels Only (TWO) ain't bad either, but the first two mags have writers who crack me up with their explitives and bike comparisons.... As they say, "We ride bikes like we're being chased by an 800lb gorilla with super lube and intentions other than normal..." What a kick! Granted they tend to kick down on the 1000RR (Blade) a bit, but I'll ignore their comments on the greatest line of sportbikes ever made...for now!

It seems "Motorcyclist" just had Brian Catterson (from Cycle World forever) join the publication because Cycle World was too Cruiser Based..I dont really see it, they all cover the same shit every month...at least Motorcyclist is affiliated with the "Sport Rider" publication..so maybe he will have an easier time getting more sportbike seat time

im a fan of cycle world. was introduced to it by a freinds dad. he gave me like 10 years of back issues. i like the technical answers, peoples stories, the little cartoons, and that you see almost any kind of bike there is in it. the first thing i do when i get it is look through all the cartoons before i read.
