Customer Rating: Summary: People Magazine for Motorcycles Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: Summary: hamburger helper Comment: Motorcyclist is a mainstay in the motorcycle magazine world, a place where cycle novices like this reviewer can begin to get a monthly diet of news, mechanics, advertisements, reviews, and cycle talk.
The format is busy, with very narrow margins. Think the opposite of those luxury goods magazines that seem bent on calming your mind. MOTORCYCLIST wants to rev it up, or better yet, place it in a helmet and roughly equidistant between the two ends of a handlebar.
The magazine pays fair attention to racing and racing cycles, then moves on to street bikes and eventually to the cruisers that most interest this middle-aged fat boy of a reviewer. The current issue in front of me has an Asian touch, with a series of articles headlined provocatively as 'Korean bikes: do they suck?' and an article entitled 'Riding the Ho Chi Minh Trail.'
'Makes one recall thirty years ago, when we couldn't imagine that a company named Honda could actually squeak out a running car.
Motorcyclists in this country, where riding a bike is a choice rather than a transportation necessity, tend to be passionate about their ride. So expect some flaming in the letters and reviews sections.
MOTORCYCLIST is a staple: the literary Hamburger Helper of a cyclist's regular reading.
Customer Rating: Summary: What a hassel ! Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: Summary: A Must Have Mag Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: Summary: Not my favorite, but not bad Comment: I like this mag. It's not the best if you're looking at Cruisers. Every month it seems like they throw in a few cruiser pics as an afterthought. This is clearly a sport/touring mag. They do run some interesting tech articles, like how tires are made, and they go into depth on bike specs. Go buy one and you'll know if you like it. I won't be renewing my subscription, but I'll be looking at it in the supermarket every month. Happy reading!
