I prefer the "sensible" ones like Bike, Ride, MCN. They are the ones that I always buy anyway. If there is a feature in PB or Superbike that I like the look of I'll buy it, but those mags usually centre around "look at the size of my wheelie" sort of thing Laughing

I buy Used Motorcycle Guide too, but that's quite different so I dunno if it counts

i buy every bike mag on the market same as guitar mags but that isnt due to liking them all. I have a very tedious job so buy em all to give me something to do at work.

in preference

RiDe
Bike
T.W.O
MCN
the trashy lower spec ones SB, PB, FB etc.

t.w.o every month, but it could use some more content, but it was the first bike mag i ever got so i kind of have a liking of it, the writing is entertaining too

i like ride as well, its probly the best, crammed full of stuff, lots of product reviews, and loads of bikes in there, and it doesnt focus on the 4 big 600's and the 4 big 1000's like some mags, which is good

bike is too heavy goin i find, its just not interesting, and the others i will buy only if im desperate for a read and have exhausted my other mags

i have subscriptions to used bike guide and used motorcycle guide, and i buy ride most months and MCN quite a lot. i used to get PB and SB, but then after 6 months it was all the just the same stuff all over again, with ride its quite varied although CBR600 is in every one of their bike comparison tests.

As with everyone else I tend to buy RiDE and/or Bike, depending which seems to have the best articles.. or if I have the money (poor student that I am) I'll buy both. I like to get MCN, and sometimes I may even buy Streetfighters (only if I'm in it Laughing )


I'm not too keen on SB or PB... too many naked/semi clothed women getting in the way! Not really my cup of tea.

Grammar correction


Spikehammer :

"their all for pussies"
this is incorrect, what you really mean (I presume) is "they are all"


In this case you would use the abbreviation "they're"
