    Hello all,

    Just wondering what Motorbike magazines, web sites do you read/visit on a regular basis for bike reviews, latest technology and so on?

    As well as MCN, I also have a look at these every couple of weeks...

    http://www.fastbikesmag.com/

    http://www.superbike.co.uk/

    http://www.sportrider.com/

    I know the last one is American, but some good articles in there too.

    I'd buy both MCN and BIKE every so often. Use the MCN website for checking out bike reviews, secondhand pricing etc too

    I like Ride.

    Practical sports bikes for classic sportsbikes
    RET monitor for technology.
    MotoGP review by Julian Ryder
    Neil Spaldings MotoGP Technology is also a good book to have.
    Superbikeplanet is US-centric but pretty funny as is the Soupkast.

    All good info there!
    Performance bike and practical sportsbike are the only two mags I tend to look at.
    I think they are made by the same group?

    Love all that 80s 90s stuff that you can pick up for deck all and still stay with modern stuff.

    Mcn for reviews and stats but some of their figures are notoriously wrong so always double check!
    Nothing like joining a bike specific model forum for what bike you have just to be a complete anarak!

    MCN is a joke.

    I used to Buy Ride or Bike each month. But its kind of a waste because I just end up throwing them out or putting them away never to be read again.

    It would be nice if Ride and Bike were in digital format and could be bought cheaper.

    Thanks for the suggestions lads. Plenty for me to look over.:)

    Motorcycle Sport & Leisure, good mag and can be bought digitally.

    MCN = at best a mixture of rumour and fiction :rolleyes:

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    MCN.

    Good,informative and usually great for spy shots of new bikes.

    Like Hondas new 250bhp RCV MotoGP replica Road bike,which will be on sale in 2014.



    Like what Ducati did a few years ago,producing a MotoGP based road bike,but that was 65,000 euro new here.

    Is that like the 200hp V5 Rossi rep that MCN said Honda were bringing out ten years ago :rolleyes:

    It was Honda themselves that actually decided not to go ahead with the production,instead they focused on making the blade better.;)

    used to have a subscription to TWO/visordowns mag - though they stopped printing :(

    I like BIKE also, but not a regular mag reader these days
