Bike mags?

I come here for other people's opinion on motorcycles.

Bike mags are like porn mags. Just some dudes riding equipment better than I can, and then telling me how awesome it is. Yet, I never get to try it..

But, I did like superbike back in the day.

Cycle, but since it was the best, they canned it. RIP
I like the the Brit rags, but not the prices.

I like Fast Bikes, but rarely buy one, too expensive, i subscribe to Motor Cyclist and Sport Rider because i got them both for $7 a year...i have a huge collection of bike mags, some probably back to 93 or so

If I remember correctly.... SR and Motorcyclist are sister publications. They've had to substantially cut budget and staff, so I guess they are sharing media and info now????

For me, SR fulfills my everyday need to quell boredom.... but if I am looking for something with some more substance, PB is easily picked up at Barnes & Noble. It is a little expensive tho.

Out of my subscriptions I like motorcyclist best followed by SportRider. But they do share articles. Cycle World is a distant third.

The Brit mags are better but like everyone else said, they are pricey.

meh i like your analogy but while they may secure some exciting "equipment" i'd never assume they rode it better than i could

I went up to a different Barnes and Noble and all the Brit mags were $9 and up. I went to a few websites to look into subscriptions and got really confused about pricing.

I think I will just still to my .42cent Cycle World.
