The only problem with bike magazines in general, as I'm sure our very own Mr Murray will point out, is that copy has to be written many weeks in advance and by this time the news will have been covered in MCN and on most bike-related websites.

I always think that reading magazines like TWO and DiRE is similar to being spoken to as if you know nothing about motorcycles whatsoever and find it incredibly patronising. I understand that they have to find a common ground to fit with their very wide readership, but I just don't get anything from it.

I really rate Dan Walsh's articles in Bike as some of the best travel writings in print - not just in motorcycling magazines. Very interesting, very informative and always something to relate to.

Other than that it has to be Motorcycle Racer for their excellent photography, in-depth reviews of REAL racing bikes (not just the latest ZYXRRCBF1XXRY-SP) and interviews with racers and the series organisers themselves.

Oh dear - lightweights here

We get TWO sometimes, AK gets streetfighter sometimes, and MCN appears about once a month I think.

and I get Horse & Hound weekly

No need to rub it in Mel!

We just spend more time out on the bikes than reading about them!

Subscription to T.W.O. - knowing what Niall MacKenzie thinks of the latest road bikes is worth it for me. Best mag of the lot.

Bike most months - honest and seemingly unbiased reviews. Seems to be a bit more 'grown up' than the topless kids jazz mags of PB, FB etc.

MCN every week - for up-to-date news and the sports reports. Always have a nose through BikeMart too to get a feel for used prices on everything.
