motorcycle magazines

#1 Unread post by vega44 »

motorcyclist sucked. too many ads and the writers go on and on about stupid stuff like what they had to drink where they sleep aahhhhh


so what is a good motorcycle magazine?

that has less ads

more riding tips and riding

more on like repair and upgrading.

more stuff about bikes. not what they had to eat and what they did.......

I have a subscription to Canadian Biker. I've re-read them over and over.

My favorite is TWO, it's a British Magazine, it not only has lots of good articles and info but it's also really funny.

I also like Canadian Biker.

Can you believe the Phenom from last month? That's a messed up looking bike!
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

cheaper and easier to come by for us U.S. folks - I like Rider and Roadrunner. Roadrunner is pricey, but as good as they come IMHO. Rider is a good all-around rag that covers all styles/brands of bikes and is more about actually riding.

Classic Bike, DicE and MOTOtechnica are a few of the best IMO

I really want to check out MOTOstoriche but I've never been able to find it on a shelf. Anyone in Italy want to send me a copy? :wink:

:shock: don't get me wrong, I love to flip through the colored mags but I understand how their bread is buttered...

I've read the rest..(still do) but when I want to really know the deal....
