Best Bike Mag?

    Hi all,

    I'm wondering what everyone's favourite Motorbike magazine is ?

    Mine is "Motorcycle Sport & Leisure". The most unbiased and informative of the bike mags. No(or very little) totty (which, as nice as it is to look at, is features higher than bikes in a lot of mags), great articles ranging from Moto GP, WSBK etc, to Adventure riding, trails and everything in between.

    Great and sometimes thought-provoking columns by the regulars top it off.

    Highly recommended by moi.

    Any others that should be given a thumbs up ?

    +1 for Motorcycle Sport & Leisure. Good articles - nice features on touring every month, good mix of reviews of different types of bike. Be nice if they threw in a free gift every now and again! The other mags all seem to focus on "knee down" riding and supersports bikes way too much for my liking.

    I read MCN sometimes too. Aside from it's tabloid tendencies and slightly excessive fawning over British bikes it's got good features, especially when it does big reviews of gear, and is an entertaining read.

    I know I've seen it in Reads on Nassau Street - it seems to be a bit hit and miss in newsagents, not as popular as the other bike mags I'd guess.

    The (small) Easons has it in my town. Worth going there for a look. So does a decent Centra.
    You could check out www.mslmagazine.co.uk too

    From time to time, I will read MCN, Bike and Classic Bike, if I see something of interest to me on the cover of a particular issue.
    No one mag that I would get regularly, although have read others as well such as Streetfighter, AWOL and BSH but not for some time now.

    I used to read Bike, but after a while I noticed they contradicted themselves in almost every issue. I get MCN the odd time cos it's the only one available and always has some rubbish articles I'll read.
    I like the custom bike mags, BSH is good. I once read a harley magazine called HOG and it was the worst piece of shíte i've ever layed my eyes on.
