It depends on what you like, there are racing mag's, technical mag's and one with sunting/custom bikes. i like.....

Super Street Bike -stunting/custom
Motorcyclist -Technical
Superbike -Technical(Mad expensive)
StreetFighter -stunting/custom
2 Wheel Tuner -stunting/custom
Cycle Dreams -stunting/custom
Roadracing world -racing
Sport Rider -Technical

Those are my favorites

Cycle World and Motorcyclist suck .......... I still receive both. If you have the money, the European magazines Performance Bikes and BIKE are great. Both dedicated to sportbikes, news, parts, and reviews. Too many advertisements and old school stories in the U.S. magazines.

Motorcycle Consumer News.

if you want the best mag from europe in my opinion and if u can afford it cuz each issues is like 9 american dollars, then get a TWO wheels only magazine

Superbike isnt bad if you dont mind paying for it.

I LOVE the Euro mags. do they offer American subscriptions? Only complaint I have is they have naked chicks through out the mag and have kids, I don't want to expose them to something like that.

So what I would like is a Euro mag that talks about sports bikes, tech and gear but minus the naked chicks. Any suggestions?

wild style pick up an issue of TWO, its a big magazine with large pictures and great reviews on hundreds of different things. It's not like motorcyclist where theres like one small write up on one bike per month. It's got something for everyone, and theres no pictures of girls in there at all. THe only place i know of that carries this magazine is barnes and nobles

Performance Bike, Superbike, and Fast Bikes. All British; all great.

Road Racing World is the best U.S. motorcycle road racing publication I have seen. It has great coverage of motorcycle racing and sportbikes in general and isn't outragously priced for a monthly magazine at $20 for 1 year, $48 for 3 years.

Cycle News is another great U.S. magazine covering motorcycling in general. It's a weekly publication that covers most all types of motorcycle racing, and some new bike articles as well, but it's kinda pricey at $45 per year, $80 for 2 years. Though this isn't a glossy publication, it's a high quality color newsprint magazine that has ALOT of information every week not only about motorcycles and racing but alot of inside information about current legislation concerning motorcycles, land use issues, and potential future laws concerning motorcyclists of all types. Because you get this magazine every week the cost per issue is well worth it, the magazine is about 100 pages thick per week!

thx man I will get TWO. I have read them before and loved it. Barnes and nobles is just down the way too.

3l1t3 I think I have seen performance. That one was good, but doesn't it have the naked chicks?

Anyway I just hope they offer subs to yanks. Also I hope the sub isn't ridiculouslly expensive.
