The "Fast Bikes" and "Performance Bike" are exceptional if you can foot the bill from $8 plus to $13 or so... Two Wheels Only (TWO) ain't bad either, but the first two mags have writers who crack me up with their explitives and bike comparisons.... As they say, "We ride bikes like we're being chased by an 800lb gorilla with super lube and intentions other than normal..." What a kick! Granted they tend to kick down on the 1000RR (Blade) a bit, but I'll ignore their comments on the greatest line of sportbikes ever made...for now!

 

It seems "Motorcyclist" just had Brian Catterson (from Cycle World forever) join the publication because Cycle World was too Cruiser Based..I dont really see it, they all cover the same **** every month...at least Motorcyclist is affiliated with the "Sport Rider" publication..so maybe he will have an easier time getting more sportbike seat time

 

2 Wheel Tuner because i love all the custom bikes

 

im a fan of cycle world. was introduced to it by a freinds dad. he gave me like 10 years of back issues. i like the technical answers, peoples stories, the little cartoons, and that you see almost any kind of bike there is in it. the first thing i do when i get it is look through all the cartoons before i read.

 

sport rider and road racer x. both have good info and no stupid fluff

 

i subscribe to too many magazines. im also into dirt bikes and atv's so some of that interest is also represented. below is a list of mags i subscribe to.

cycle world
motorcyclist
two wheel tuner
super streetbike
road racer x
sport rider
dirt bike
dirtwheels

cycle world and motorcyclist are pretty much the same. they both cover all types of bikes which i like because i like to know info about every type of bike. cycle world seems to cover the bikes first but way too much of the custom chopper stuff. two wheel tuner is decent for viewing custom bikes, but i won't re-subscribe because all the issues seem to be the same. super streetbike sucks. nothing but pics of trashed stuntbikes and bling bikes that aren't ridden (what was i thinking when subscribing???). road racer x is a good mag but way too narrow focused. there is only so much that can be written about the same riders, but the rider articles are pretty interesting and the pics are great. sport rider is probably my favorite. not much to say about it because i think we all read it. dirt bike and dirtwheels are both obviously not geared towards streetbikes so i'll save my reviews of them for another forum.

 

I read Sport Rider and Superbike. Superbike is a british rag. For some reason I just love the way those guys write.

 

I like the way they write too but what's up with the **** especially the back of the mag Hustler style ads? I guess the culture in Europe is really different. The girls in Two Wheel Tuner are a stretch as far as my wife is concerned. I can't complain though and don't really blame her especially since she lets me buy and play with my two wheel toys not to mention she is the aggressor when it comes to you know what . I know, I know, I am blessed.

 

I usally turn of every month go to my local stop and shop and see who has the better articles that I'd like to read and thats the one I walk home with. Sometimes if I'm hungry for some bike info I'll buy sport rider and cycle world. I seem to usally walk out of there with cycle world under my arm most times. Motorcyclist is good too but I find them to be kinda bland I've only taken there mag once and that was becuase it was the 1st to have a full on review of the kawa ninja 650R.

 

I gotta go with The Robb Report although everything in there is for rich people......lol
And definately 2 wheel tuner.
