Which is the most read NZ bike Mag?

[martybabe]

" or National Geographic type articles where motorcycling is secondary to the location just leave me cold.

With you there mate, how many 'trips through Peru on a c90' can you read before losing the will to live. Bloody marvelous for those involved, I just don't want to read what exotic local food they ate before exchanging some beads for the village virgin, loads of mags with that stuff in. Although I may be interested in a brief summary detailing exactly how many beads and where I should send them

Bike magazines just lay about cluttering the place up before I give them away to some professional waiting room for casual reading material!

I usually skim through them at the Supermarket, while her indoors does her shopping. (regularly bought Kiwi Rider and a couple of others)

I look for interesting advertising and articles and if I see anything that interests me, I buy the Magazine and go and read it in the car park while I wait.

Now that Kiwi Rider seal it in an clear envelope, I don't buy it, in fact I don't even bother to look at the cover now!

Any magazine only has about 10 to 15% of each individual's attention anyway the rest only captures your attention because it's there and you have it open!

KR is though, IMHO, a "quality" magazine especially for the price but I wont buy or subscribe to it just by hoping there may be something of interest for me in it!

Lose the stupid plastic bag and invite your readers to participate in your magazine again KR.

Oddly enough, KR is not the only Magazine on the shelf but it might soon be, all alone in it's stupid little (leave me alone) plastic bag!

They cost retail sales, but the ad revenue compensates and subscriber copies are already bagged.
Overall End of year sales figures are encouraging.

It's time there was a 'Petrolhead' style bike magazine. Free & entirely paid for by advertising - that way you don't mind being advertised to but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay to be. This is the same reason I don't waste my time with "Little Wank's Toys".

I'm on the cover of the next one so it will be a huge seller.

Hear that Mr Weta?

A2 format?

[Big Dave]

A2 format?

Nah - it's not a head shot.

[oldguy]

Over the last 25 years of publication KR has built a large subscriber base.

We'd like more. There is a Gear prize running currently.

Now if it were a new 2010 RMX450 Id be in.

Bit hard to take the computer to the toilet with me when I like to sit and read a mag .............. you

laptop, wireless network. sorted.

The only local one I get is KR. I subscribed last year when they were doing the Triumph Scrambler giveaway. I didnt fucking win, so had to go and buy one. still, great bike and I am happy with it so The acid test was whether to renew my subscription, and I decided yes, because I like the local perspective and market angle, and the ads are for stuff I might need. Plus when I am done with them they go in our waiting area. Its a nice counterpoint to the horrible old issues of Time, NBR and The Independent.

Legend!

A Six Month Old, Tatty As Womans Weekly with the crossword already filled in is about as exciting a magizine as I seen in a waiting room around here lately.

I prefer some of the UK books,over any locals.
"SuperBike" in particular.(It's not for the tight koonts,mind you.)
Still buy the Motorcycle trader,aswell.

I've read Motorcycle Trader for around 2 years on and off,Kiwirider about a year.

[Big Dave]

I'm disapointed in Kiwi rider - most of the bike mags I read come into the lunch room with the name of the magazine cut out.I just don't get Kiwi Rider anymore - does that mean the shops don't stock them...or do they sell them all so I don't get to read the unsold ones?

The obvious answer is sold out, but troof is No idea solly.

In fact BRM has tried to emulate Superbike with pictures of the Hacks taken with them pulling stupid faces.
