I must be starting to show my age these days cause my favorite bike mags are Classic Bike, Classic Motorcycle Mechanics and Classic Racer (they all have articles of those wild bikes I learn't to ride on in the '70's).
I've been buying Two Wheels every month since 1973, but that's more a habit now cause I just can't leave the latest copy on the shelves these days.
The NZ mag Bike Rider is ok for an occasional read, but mostly when there's a 'classic' article in it.
So what about you lot, what mags do you read these days?

Whenever I can find it I'll grab Bike. Cycle Canada is better than it's ever been, and the same can be said about Motorcyclist. I really enjoy Sport Rider and will read Cycle World when it comes in the mail too, but it's at the bottom of my list.

Went off the mags for a while but my daughter recently bought me a subscription to Australian Motor Cycle News which is OK. I think I prefer Two Wheels though. The editor of Rapid has started a new mag in Aus called 'Knee Down' which is aimed at Track Day riders/Club Racers. Very Aus but a good mag.

Cycle Canada is pretty much the only one I read, although I have upheld a Cycle World subscription at times in the past, not currently. Now that Cycle Canada has sorted out it's editing woe's it's returned to it's normal excellent read.

Australian Motorcycle News, not a bad mag, with all of the major race meets from around the world covered. I like Classic Bike, Classic Motorcycle Mechanics and Classic Racer also Kiwi, Any chance you could go through your collection say 87-91 and scan out any FZ-fzr articles? Especially race-bike related articles... Doohans FZr750 win at oran park? post season bike tests? lol.

Gone off bike mags, they are full of bike i will never be able to afford, tested by riders far better than myself. I use a lot of on-line stuff now, twitter feeds, blogs, Facebook ect.
I will occasionally grab a copy of 'cycle torque', a free mag here in oz as it covers things in a general fashion, and of course read all of Spooks mags when i get find myself in his neck of the woods

Sorry spook, but after massing several hundred bike magazines over the years I decided to have a clear out about 5 years ago, and only keep them a few weeks now before passing them on to a mate.
I do have a couple of articles that have been emailed to me over the years and I'll ping them through to your personel email

Apparently, if you don't want to by the mag, you just put it on the floor and take pics of there articles you want with your phone!!!
