Coming on from the MCN thread I just decided to see what biking mags everyone prefers. I go for either, Performance Bikes, Fast Bikes, or Superbike.

I buy TWO when i can.

I just find the way they take the piss out of everything quite amusing Smile That along with the very strange tests they do to bikes from time to time.

Used Bike Guide and Classic Motorcycle Mechanics intermittently(sp). UBG do some good reviews, much more interesting that BIKE etc IMHO.

Are any of these magazines not produced by EMAP Automotive? It makes little difference what you read, it all goes into their coffers. It's just a difference in style. Bike's style is what I like.

I like how they say that the latest gsxr/zxr whatever is the best thing in the world, then a few months later when something else comes out they proclaim that this is the best thing ever & last years handles like a turd.
I've not read fast bikes for years, last time I read it they did nowt but blow their own trumpet & say that they were better than all the other mags coz they had a gp rider (sean emmet) as a test editor, but look what a wanker he turned out to be.

Bike/Ride/TWO for me

Superbike/PB/Fast bike come across a bit tacky and seem to be for people who only like the latest jap-4's.... not me.

Bike regularly, the others occasionaly depending on freebies.

Superbike is a comic and the editor gets quite snotty if you ask when they are going to do a test that one of the other mags haven't already done in the previous couple of months...well he was stupid enough to ask people to e-mail him with their thoughts about the mag, editor 'King' Kenny Pryde does not like critiscism it would appear Laughing Laughing Laughing

Fast Bikes and TWO are chav mags, along the same lines as Lax Power and Shit Car (Max Power and Fast Car), thats also why manufactuers refuse to lend bikes to them, afraid the bikes will come back with LED's, Under Tray Neons, Spoilers and other stupid shit attached.

Bike and Ride is where the proper journalists work Thumbs Up

BSH always.

I know the editor. She's a scary person if you can't prove to her that you've read it.

MCN if someone (like Kickstart) draws my attention to it for some BMF related thing.
