Which is your favourite bike magazine? I haven't included MCN cos' thats weekly, or What Bike - as thats quarterly.


I did try to put up other choices, but theres a limit on the Polls, so I just put up what I perceived as the main titles...

Here's some mind-numbing stats for you - The circulation figures for the last 6 months:


Bike 90,013

SuperBike 50,023

Ride 49,764

Two 37,445

Performance Burks 34,120

Fast Bikes 30,227


I tend to read most of the publications every month, including MCN. Costs me a small fortune :shock:

I stopped buying PB a long time ago though - used to be great, but has gone badly downhill of late.

I also don't think Bike is on top form lately - they keep coming up with these daft "top gear"ish ideas - I'm more interested in the bikes themselves than daft antics.

Ride is extremely good - tends to have the best product tests, and the best road tests - and usefully, good 2nd hand buy guides...

Two seems a bit pooie.. don't usually get that.. And FastBikes and SuperBikes have suprised me over the last few months -> they are well known for their pictures of girlies in the niff... but have had some really informative articles too...

Then of course, you've got BackDoor Heroes... Ummmm right.... well...

least said the better eh! :wink: :lol:

BSH for me... not just for the power rangers type loads of good info. All the rest seem to be just for sports bike riders....

I would agree with you as regards FastBikes & SuperBike Nigel,

but Ride, Two and Bike regularly cover everything you could imagine -

cruisers, tourers, dirtbikes, first-bikes... you name it... Try a copy of Ride, I doubt you'd be disappointed :D

I used to buy them all at one time,do buy Superbike a fair bit, but have jus subscribed to Motorcycle sport and leisure, which makes a change from just the latest sportsbikes with interesting articles such as touring abroad, real world road tests (Not just track based like a lot of them).

I subscribe to Performance Bikes, the article about dale doing the cannonball was so funny.

FastBikes is too much "your nowt if its not a gixer".

Superbike is too much look at us were nutters


Bike and Ride are good but too pricey.

Motorcycle Sport and Leisure is my must read cos its the only one not wetting themselves over the latest 'rev the nuts off it', penile extension, pocket rocket, every fking month YAAWWNNNNNZZZZZZZ. I like sports bikes and given a large enough wallet I'd have one (prob a gixxer thou) but they way most bike mags go on you'd think there was feckall else on 2 wheels. Rant over :P

Pete, yeah I've got an ST1100 as well as me Bandit and have been amazed at just how quick I can hustle her through the twisties, A712 Crocketford to New Galloway on 'skills review', voice of senior observer over the radio "erm, Dave you might like to ease off a bit remember your on the Panand she's a big old .......... oh feckit go on then".

I subscribe to Motorcycle racer - fantastic mag. I did subscribe to Superbike for about a year but it ended up being the same old pap month after month.
