Which UK monthly mag? ...
 

Which monthly mag and why? (apologies to those of you outside the UK)

FB, PB, RPM (Newish mag knocked up by Colin Schiller - founder of FB), Superbike, Racer and MCN Sport (if it's about).

The missus works at WHSmith head office - I get a discount in their shops lol....

Well I get most of 'em quite regularly except Ride, Motorcycle Sport & Leisure and Classic Motorcycle Mechanics. I've been known to pick up those three titles sometimes, but not on a monthly basis. Of the others, I get Fast Bikes and TWO regularly and I've just started getting PB again because it's new look is spot on for me and it's rapidly becoming a favourite. I like the way they concentrate on the type of bikes thee and me have and don't seem quite so obsessed with the "New R6 stomps all over the opposition because it's half a kilo lighter and 0.000001 of a second quicker to the pub" (plus PB just had a very nice article on 888's that made me feel very smug :smug: )

The one I can't stand is Superbike for the simple reason that they have a monthly column that does nothing but take a snidey bitching session at all their rivals. That would be OK if Superbike was superb, but it's not, and the editor Kenny Pride (?) comes across as a real knob

Streetfighters! Its awesome and there is always the occasional Monster and nude chicks!!

Yorkie.

Did RPM make it past issue 1 - that was the only one I have seen?

PB still the best, then TWO, then Bike.

None. They're all krap. I'm sick of the fashion parade biking has become - largely driven by bike mags.

.. Steve Rose is a God :)

Yeah it did - issue 3 was out about a month ago.

Saying that, I've only ever found it in Borders here in Swindon.

I don't think it's "mainstream" enough for the likes of Smiths etc etc...

I get the impression it's more of a quarterly issue.

Jacko.

Last isue of RPM i have is 3, good comparison test of DS and S DS one of the few i've read where the reviewer actualy notices they ride differently. Fast Bikes has changed a lot since Future bought out Schiller, Dan Harris has gone now as well.

My favourite is Motorcycle Racer which has had some decent interviews and photographs recently. Road Racer X is similar in US.

The Japenese mag Bikersworld is always worth a look at for some wild customising if you can find it.

oh, all time favourite was Italian Bike from CHP, it was sad to see that one go :(
