Sport Bike Subscription... Which one?

[MikeN02]

I bought a couple shirts from Motorcycle-Superstore the other day and got the latest copy of the magazine. It was pretty nice as this was my first motorcycle magazine, the pages aren't made cheap/thin. They were actually full photo paper etc.

Was thinking of subscribing to a Sport Bike magazine but I don't know which one. I want the quality of the magazine unlike thin paper pages, was looking at SportRider.com and they seem to have good articles...

Anyone?

I just ordered Cycle World... seem to find myself buying them in the stores, so figured I might as well subscribe... can't say there was a rhyme or reason... just they always seem to catch my eye in the store (not by the front cover, but by some of their reviews/writeups)

Sport Rider and Motorcyclist are the ones I'm getting right now. I want to subscribe to Performance Bike and Superbike both from England but they're expensive. (I buy them from Barns and Nobel every now and then and pay $10+ and a subscription is something like $75.) The Euro mags seem to be quite a bit higher quality, bigger format, incredible photography, you get to see a lot of products that don't make it here, and they tell it more like it is. American mags always cater to their customers (the advertisers) way too much. If they review a product from a company who advertises in the magazine, no matter how bad it is, it'll get some sort of a good review. I've read some of the Euro mags where they just flat out say it's a piece of shit. And two pages later you'll see an add for it.

Good call Jon: I used to subscribe to British motorcycle mags too. I loved their humor and their tests on bikes/gear etc. Infact in my garage are lots of old mags(British) on the GSXR. One of my favorite US mags was/is Sport Rider, I recomend it.

I have had Cycle World for the last couple of years. Besides inexpensive, the articles are pretty informative and reviews are helpful if you are in the market for those products.
