Hi all.
I am sure that the help and information which one gets on this forum
is unparalleled to any magazine or single source what so ever. I am
reading all the old posts as well and learning at a light speed about
issues and concerns and the more i read the more i feel better about
my choice of a KLR. I did fell in love with the BMW GS 650 but after
looking at it every day for a week in the street and then talking to
the owner, i feel i have a better machine.
Now given the confusion of marketing, I would like to ask for
recomendation on motorcycle magazines to start a few subscriptions.
So please suggest some bathroom reading material.

I usually read "Fast bikes" for the excellent but somewhat irreverant road
bike coverage (occasionally do super moto stuff and dual sports)

and I used to subscribe to the excellent "Trail bike Magazine" but I havent
seen it for a while.

If you subscribe to british motorcycle magazines the best place to read them
is the bathroom (naked women, law breaking, silly stunts etc)
I find most US magazines to be a bit dull in comparison but a lot more
adult. I havent seen one that really caters for DSN riders that appears on
news stands. I buy them on an adhoc basis.

The only subscription I haven't cancelled is Motorcycle Consumer
News. No advertising; honest product reviews; excellent riding and
safety tips.

I too, subscirbed to Fast Bikes, until I realized $96 a year is a
twelve pack and small pizza every month. "Hot Chicks in Iridium
Knicks" was the first issue I saw, then I subscribed.
Currently I recieve :

Ditto that on both MCN and Monkey Butt. I also recommend Rick
Sieman's monthly columns on Off-road.com. For a long time, I
considered Iron Horse the best MC magazine, even though I am
not into choppers, and not interested in Harleys. It has lost some
of its edge since editorship moved from New York to Detroit, but
it still features non-Harley choppers, and every once in a while
does something really cool, like a feature on the Elephant Ride,
or on lesbian bikers (well, that last one was quite a few years
ago, I guess). Unlike the Brits, they take themselves too
seriously, but at least they have attitude.
