Bought a renewal for my motorcycle magazine. They said they would extend my current subscription. Then I recieved a notice for my new subctription.
I phoned the company and explained that I wanted the renewal at the end of my current subscription. I have not recieved any issues at all.

Paparider reads this Mag cover to cover every month (then I do). Then they sit around in the bathroom for “lite” reading till I get weary of them and file them away. A must have read for all bike enthusisits.

Motorcyclist has never been the highest quality US motorcycling mag around, but it’s always been a somewhat interesting. These days, though, I barely skim the issues. Tons of ads make that easy enough. Half of the magazine beyond that is dedicated to industry news and “sneak peeks.” These days, that service is better provided online. What a magazine can offer is solid editorial content, comprehensive reviews, and possibly even a sense of community. The editorial content has improved somewhat with the addition of Keith Code’s articles. Motorcyclist’s reviews of motorcycles have been shoddy in the last few years, the gear reviews sound like an advertisement. And the sense of community, which would be accomplished through a solid online presence, falls short as well.
I’ll pay $15 for Cycle Gear – they have great editorials, experts on staff, and a good website. I’ll pay $25 for Motorcycle Consumer News – their reviews pull no punches and they provide fantastic info-sheets for each bike reviewed. I’m on my last issue and my renewal offer is a year for only $5. That’s just too much for what I get out of the magazine.
That’s the only reason it gets two stars over one. It’s affordable.

I’ve suscribed for several years, I like Cycle World better as it just seems more professional but Motorcyclist is OK. They have a chopped up format that makes it hard to track an article through all the way. They also assume everyone is a RicKy Racer type and that we all go to the track.
Still I send them their $$ every year.

Sure it’s glossy and the articles are short, but when I just want to know the high level of what’s happening in the world of bikes, it does the job. I wouldn’t want to know anything about the 250cc bikes, for example, but they toss in so much information and good photography that I can’t help but learn a little more about things I didn’t set out to know. If you just want a quick page turner this is a good choice. If you want sexy and cutting edge, the go for the $$$ British mags. Both are good, but this one is cheap and cheerful.
