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

Bike and TWO for me.
I think I buy Bike out of habit,....been reading the mag from around mid '74.
I like TWO because of Witham and Mackenzie,two of the fastest and funniest guys out there.

Anyone remember Italian Bike ?..got every copy before it went pop and there still a good read !

Bought PB last night for the 851/888 article and was pleasantly surprised...thought i'd picked up TWO or BIKE by mistake ! Good photography, well laid out and excellent content (remember PB in the eighties/nineties ??!)

Nat

yup, see my post above. I've been trying to talk a Ducati riding publisher mate of mine in the US to do a similar type of mag for a while now

I subscribe to RIDE but I'm not going to rebew when this one runs out. Rose has had a personality bypass and it shows in the mag.

Superbike is a good laugh (assuming you are not offended by the swearing and naked women).

All the mags run the same articles (bike tests, tyre test etc) a few months apart. Each mag just puts it's own spin on the test.

Anyone remember Motorcycle Voyager (MV - dedicated to touring)? I subscribed to that but it went bust!

And why is a subscription to MCN so expensive?

Have to agree in the main, though PB always strikes me as a bit different. BIKE as well - mainly because it has enough pages to do all of the same tests as the others and some different stuff as well.
